Zelda BotW's development staff exceeded 300 people

That's a big arse team. Feel sorry for Aonuma having to be the director over all that. When you consider that from an Indy to blockbuster AAA team is anywhere from 20-100 people on average, that's just massive. Just to give you perspective on how big of a staff that is, Wild Hunt's staff was right at about 240 people with most of them actually being of polish descent. However, this does not include outside contributions, which the Witcher totaled to about 1500+ people.


However, it's never said with either if the development staff includes voice actors and others that help with the game, but never actually work on the programming and such. I imagine the same applies though.


With that type of size, one can only hope the gameplay and story reflects it.
