However, we do still get to see them thanks to Namikaku’s Twitter account. The guidelines also give Square Enix the right to delete any content they want to, which is, unfortunately, what happened to Namikaku’s maps. While the game’s terms and conditions don’t expressly forbid creations based on other IPs, they do say users must shoulder the burden of any due compensation if the IP’s owners dispute its presence in the game. Unfortunately, Namikaku has run into some difficulties sharing his creations in Dragon Quest Builders 2. Namikaku’s Dragon Quest Builders 2 version of Breath of the Wild‘s Goron City is truly impressive. Remarkably, Namikaku says they build these maps from memory, which puts my little Minecraft house even more to shame.

Namikaku also says they make a new discovery each time they head back into the world of Breath of the Wild, so this, along with positive fan feedback, helps them to keep creating. In the original Automaton story, the outlet managed to speak to Namikaku, who said that a love of Breath of the Wild and a “connection” to other fans drove them to create these maps. What drove Namikaku to make these Dragon Quest Builders 2 maps? All these maps need now are NPCs perhaps Namikaku should ask the folks who added their own characters to Breath of the Wild a while back to help out. Zooming in on Namikaku’s creations, as Automaton does in the original story, shows that they’ve even included interior design elements and other extras, so wandering the streets of Gerudo Town in Dragon Quest Builders 2 should feel largely the same as it does in the original game. Still, the attention to detail in these Dragon Quest Builders 2 maps is pretty astonishing. Last year, a fan built a version of Breath of the Wild‘s Hyrule map in Minecraft. This isn’t the first time Breath of the Wild has been recreated in a building sandbox game. Clockwise from top left: Namikaku’s Dragon Quest Builders 2 recreations of Rito Village, Zora’s Domain, Kakariko, and Gerudo Town from Breath of the Wild. Here’s a smattering of Namikaku’s excellent efforts (there’s also a wonderful recreation of Goron City).

They then moved onto Dragon Quest Builders 2, where they have made some staggeringly impressive recreations including Zora’s Domain, the Rito village, and Gerudo Town, among others. Namikaku is a Twitter user who apparently first began experimenting with making Breath of the Wild areas in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This story comes courtesy of Automaton Media, who published the original Japanese article, then translated it into English. Which Breath of the Wild areas has Namikaku made in Dragon Quest Builders 2? A Twitter user called Namikaku has, however, put me to shame by recreating iconic The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild areas in Dragon Quest Builders 2, with a frankly upsetting level of detail. I once built a little house in Minecraft.
