Stellar Blade Director Credits Zelda for Console Inspiration

A post from @Genki_JPN reports that Stellar Blade Technical Director DongKi Lee called The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild one of his favorite games. The post includes a partial quote in which Lee describes staying up all night playing it and deciding he wanted to create console games. The same cluster links to an IGN article covering the upcoming Stellar Blade: Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, which includes over five minutes of gameplay footage and an interview with Dong-ki Lee, CTO at Shift Up. No further confirmation of the Zelda remarks appears in the supplied lines.
