![]() ![]() In the case of Breath of the Wild, it appears that they memorialized him by creating a new location and an apparent Sage named after him. In 2015, Iwata passed away due to complications with cancer, and Nintendo looked to honor his legacy, like most of the gaming industry at the time. By all accounts, he seemed to have been appreciated by his staff and seemed to have a good working relationship with many personalities at Nintendo. Iwata had played a crucial role in the development of the Pokémon franchise, the creation of the Nintendo DS and Wii, and was a notable figure in Breath of the Wild's development, credited as an executive producer. In 2002, game developer and head of Nintendo's Corporate Planning Division, Satoru Iwata, became President of Nintendo after the resignation of former president, Hiroshi Yamauchi. Based on the presence of an old campsite, the thriving vegetation, and presence of diverse life, Croton theorizes that Satori was once someone who lived in solitude and devoted himself to taking care of the mountain's ecosystem. As a sage, he became the protector of all life that calls the forest their home, and as the Lord of the Mountain, he can make the ecosystem he once cared for into a thriving haven for every Breath of the Wild animal that Link can encounter. In-game, this is why the Lord of the Mountain is also known as Satori, but the real-life reason for this names may be to serve as a tribute.Ĭlick here to see the above video on YouTube.
