My only complaint is that you didn't add sweet berries to that part of Gerudo Town where the little girl is growing wild berries. But other than that small detail, absolutely phenomenal!

[@RaichuRob]

I was like what’s this something rude oh you are nice No offense sorry

[@Icyy4406]

​@@RaichuRob having a complaint isnt rude

[@testerwulf3357]

If you aren't happy with the rock color you settled on you could try a gradient? From that yellow pallet you started with to the one you ended up with, bottom up kind of gradient; it'd pull off that "yellow or orange?" feel as it'd be both!

[@NottSaying]

I feel like this would be best because, if my memory is correct, the cliffs for the Highland region are a lot more orange than the wasteland.

[@eryscalamitas1611]

Personally I would've gone with a flat dither of the two palettes, but this idea also works

[@benbehindert]

Great idea!

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]

I definitely feel like the rock cliffs need to be a little more brownish or yellow than they are now

[@Papercatts]

Yeah I agree, It's really not to discredit all his hard work but it looks more like aminecraft mesa than the golden brown of the gerudo desert. Either way the builds themselves are absolutely amazing

[@deltaboi9014]

yeah, i thought the wood color pallette looked the closest of them all

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]

@@Papercatts oh absolutely, no question about it

[@devoid6888]

The main issue is that no Minecraft block seems to match super well to that palette, which is more of a game problem than Grazzy's fault. What is there is pretty good, and it's better for everyone if Grazzy and his friends don't get stuck on that.

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]

@@devoid6888 I agree with the sentiment, but I do think that there are better alternatives to the current solution, which I think is a fine temporary solution… but only if it is really temporary

[@lolli_popples]

I definitely think a mixture of yellow and brown blocks would fit the region better, but I also think mixing in some copper might be a good idea if it’s possible, as pink-orange tones of that block match how it looks far away a bit better. (Stripped jungle wood might be a good addition as well) Although I feel like the tone of the rock changes between the snowy portion of the highlands and the more Southern portion of them. The Snowy portion is definitely redder than the Southern section. Also changing the grass in the taobab region to path blocks might help with the color (unless you do biome customization to to change the color later, then it doesn’t really matter)

[@papercut5238]

Holy friggin' crap the dedication to this project is amazing haha. In all honesty, I didn't think it'd continue past the second episode as I haven't seen many bigger build projects like this actually succeed. Although I'm so happy that's not the case! I can't wait to see the next region!

[@r_puff]

so the reason the cliffs look kind of orange ish in that second clip you showed is because the sun was setting, and also the higher ones are a darker shade of yellow and go into more orangey colors. but at the ground level where link walks, the cliff colors, when the sun is directly above, they are definitely a sandy/yellow color. hope this helps :)

[@kell_0741]

^^^ this, I agree, The orange is really harsh, especially when mixed with the sand

[@_leaf-3525]

definitely. I think the wood combo used for the rocks in gerudo town would make for a more accurate and much less harsh palette for the rocks that are closer to the sand.

[@user-db7ep9hb8k]

The orange doesn't fit the Gerudo vibe I feel like.

[@scpfoundation9787]

While everyone else has already noted that the palette definitely needs to be more leaning towards the oak from earlier or the palette used for gerudo town, and someone else pointed out the absence of the sword from the 8th heroine statue, I haven't seen anyone mention the fact that the great gerudo skeleton is missing its wings, which is one of the main differences between it and the hebra skeleton since both or just kinda whale skeleton shaped

[@catrinacoons390]

Yo I was looking for someone who would point out the missing sword, also the cabin on the very south end where you hold a snowball so it's shadow hits a pattern for a shrine, the pattern on the rock wall wasn't mentioned either.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@catrinacoons390 He mentioned the cabin on Mount Granajh at 9:36, just didn't show it. Since the shadow pedestal design is similar to the shock arrow one with the mural in the Gerudo Highlands which you can see in the video, I'd assume they just used a similar design.

[@HS-mn6jc]

Also I’m not sure if they built the secret room in the Yiga Hideout. It’s connected to the main room with the Banana hoard, behind the white banners on the wall.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@HS-mn6jc Just remembered this too, that's the one where you have to burn the banner and then there are loads of rupees, right?

[@howlingarmadillo]

Pretty sure the 8th heroine statue's sword is there, it just wasn't pointed out. Look at the top of the mountain at 30:44.

[@ARDIZsq]

Something potentially worth noting for color matching in the future: I HIGHLY recommend checking out The Textures Resource. It's part of a larger project that hosts models, sprites, sounds, and textures from video games, and The Textures Resource has the texture files from some of the areas in Breath of the Wild. (Listed under the Wii U version, not the Switch version) They have Gerudo Town and general terrain textures, so checking those out and matching the colors with Minecraft blocks will get you as accurate of colors as possible, without having to guess from the frankly intense lighting in-game.

[@pocketranger4631]

man this guy is the definition of the Minecrafts serious dedication achievement come on he's doing botw then straight after totk this guy deserves 1 million subs

[@auragameryt]

no, he doesnt deserve 1 mil, he deserves more.

[@leeharold7127]

This series makes me appreciate the original game's map all the more, if it takes this much effort to re create in minecraft in the way you are, i can only imagine how tiring it must've been to make the real thing

[@craftypig1008]

Yeah seeing this video makes me realize how much detail was put into the original game. Grazzy did a really good job making them blocky.

[@blueboytube]

Honestly the color of the labyrinth is kinda what I’d imagine the Gerudo sandstones to look like

[@memyselfishness]

I agree

[@pooppoopbutwithp-lf2ci]

This is a good idea

[@feluriandelights4156]

[@bickson9872]

Those walls turned out so good!

[@Tiger_Clawzz]

Once this is finished, it would be really cool if someone made the inside of all the shrines

[@unofficialbandkid7200]

They COULD do it in the nether, but I’m sure that would be a pain

[@Alexciaooo]

@@unofficialbandkid7200or make a mod that adds a dimension for every shrine, kinda like actual BOTW does with a different world for every shrine

[@agentdoggo6085]

Immersive portals mod you could put a hole at the back of the shrine where you land in water then put the portal at the bottom of the whole and it takes you into the shrine

[@poskk1961]

They could just dig down under the shrine and an elevator kind of thing to go in and out like it is in BOTW

[@samuelhorvitz948]

Yeah. That would be epic. But so many different commands would be needed to make all the unique shrines. It would be tough but it doesn’t have to be functional!

[@Nebulae.incarnate]

I’m honestly surprised you’ve made it this far. I would never have this much patience. You have inspired me to play BOTW again despite TOTK releasing this week.

[@ParkerIGuess]

You should use the fillbiome command to give the plants in Gerudo that dry look. Just set it to an acacia or desert biome

[@ReddBoi64]

If you are still looking for a gerudo canyon block palette, I think the block palette you guys used for the gerudo town walls at 20:50 would look great! Only downside could be potentially making the labyrinth blend in too well. Also Naboris looks dope and you’re a maniac for doing TOTK too. Your gonna be working this map for 3 years 😂

[@ConstantDistres5]

Oh man, these divine beast creations are my absolute favorite parts, they are seriously works of art, this entire map is! Definitely hoping this series blows up as you begin to wrap it up (or hopefully sooner!) this work cannot go unnoticed

[@sharksuperiority9736]

I definitely would’ve gone for the oakwood pallet for the Gerudo cliffs, they only really look red in specific lightnings. Plus the rocks of Gerudo town are the same as the cliffs, so its weird to make them different Otherwise, love this. Gerudo is just such an interesting reason with how different it is to the rest of Hyrule Also it would’ve been funny to make the tower pit lead to the void

[@vollkornkeks9177]

even better if they dont use the pure oak wood template but the jungle/oak one used for the town, looked pretty good imo looks amazing regardless

[@charlotteornelas8517]

This guy is a God for getting almost half of this done, and he's going to make tears of the kingdom as well. That's a lot of effort.

[@VibesOfChaos]

Something I noticed in game is that the highlands cliffs are a bit more grey than the normal orangey ones. It’s more noticeable In the area around the gerudo tower and the hideout since there’s a lot of both cliff types next to eachother.

[@thod-thod]

I really feel that the same needs to be darker, or the desert rocks lighter. They just contrast so much at the moment.

[@catching.rainbows]

[@Professor_Wisteria_]

Building TotK sounds even more absurd than BotW, for the sole reason of the one thing i desperately want to see you build: The Depths. i dont know if you are ever going to build it, but its literally the most unique and stylistic part of the entire game and i LOVE it down there, seeing it in one of these builds would be a dream come true

[@nutelasaur9453]

you know i actually think the Gerudo rock palette is perfect, and this series continues to absolutely AMAZE me

[@sslender07]

Yeah I think the other Color fits Hebra more

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

The gerudo region has different rock colors in different sections. For the lower areas of the highlands (in the north around the Illumeni plateau) that orangey color is perfect. There’s another different rock texture in the valley leading to the yiga hideout that the orange color also works well for. The tops of the highlands (around gerudo summit) could be even more red. But the lower areas do have more of a sandy color that the other palette works better for.

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

@@sslender07I think that palette would also work for the tabantha/hyrule ridge rocks (I assume that’s what you mean, hebra mountain rocks are dark grey) but those ones seem more cream colored to me, so a palette like that one but more birch wood or sandstone would be best I think.

[@espirit1572]

You and all the builders are really amazing. I love the game and absolutely love all the effort you put into this work. I really think this is the closest you can get in Minecraft. So I can only applaud and appreciate your work. Keep it up, it's really incredible and I can't wait to be able to walk around there myself.

Wow! Gerudo town is one of my favorite botw locations, and I’m so happy to see you bring it to life in Minecraft. Fantastic work! Very excited to see the final map tour once it’s all finished.

[@elijahappelman1186]

Amazing work as always! I believe the highlands north of the gerudo tower are more red while the highlands to the east have the yellow look. In game I’m pretty sure I remember spots where these two rocks meet and you can clearly see the color comparison. This might help with the issue of things looking right. Edit: I just looked in game and it’s true. If you’d like screenshots or just to look for yourself, the red rock begins just a bit north of gerudo tower

[@gonk1012]

This is an amazing project and seeing you progress is really cool. Keep it up!

[@Quantum_Onions]

Good job! Can’t wait for the next part! I’m so exited for rito village!

[@jakeverbeek]

this looks so good! one idea: for the waterways in gerudo town, they're actually so shallow that you can't use cryonis on them. using worldedit you could make all the roof waterways have a water level of like 2 and then bring the edges around the waterways down a half block. that way the water is more shallow and walking through them feels more like how it feels in the game!

(Not all though, because I have been to all of hyrule, so yeah.) This is an absolute treat to watch, and I support you will all my heart!

[@westleyblakeslee3205]

Great series so far! As for the cliff faces, the bottom right parts of the gerudo cliffs (the region around the lomei labrytnth) are more yellowish, and the northwestern ones (the area around the yiga hideout) are more reddish orange, which may explain some of the confusion about which color to pick. The valley between the cliffs just northwest of the wasteland tower (where the quarry is) acts as a nice sort of barrier between the two cliff colors.

[@JohnTK]

Very interesting how you guys used empty mob spawners as barred windows in Gerudo Town around 18:29. I also absolutely adore how you made the south labyrinth! (Definitely gonna have to stea- I mean borrow some design elements there for a future build)

[@SALshaNoma]

I cant' believe I missed that this was posted but then I haven't been on my computer. But I love the color you picked for the gerudo region and love that you added in the moldugas. This is still so exciting to watch. Building the town at an angle really added an extra layer of texture to the architecture.

[@benji-menji]

Feedback: Patricia is the wrong color. She is a blue sandseal. Unless im wrong then just a small fix. The highlands might be orange due to the time of day but orange looks great too. If you have found a way to blend it into the desert then that would look good as well. Since you used candles as bananas, make sure to put them on the trees in the faron region for consistency.

To address the color issue with the canyon walls, maybe have the regions up closer to the mountain and the forest were you find that Ganon Horse be reddish orangish brownish, and have the area down closer to the desert itself have the tan walls.
