YouTuber and Minecraft architect Grazzy Breath of the Wild's entire, surreal open-world map in the sa🐲ndbox ꦑgame after three years of toiling. 

"I'd put this idea off for so lonꦬg because of one simple reason: it's impossible," Grazzy says in explaining how he brought Nintendo's wistful cel-shaded world to the land of cubes. "Replicating every patch of ruins, every settlement, every Guardia꧂n – that would be hard enough on its own, but how would I even replicate the terrain of Hyrule itself?"

, which allows users to sculpt and draw detailed landscapes, to convert a map of Hyrule to stacks of Minecraft blocks. 

From there, Grazzy and a tiny gro🌼up of Minecraft friends dedicated over 2,000 hours to shading, terraforming, and birthing many trees.

"One of the most tedious tasks at the [beginning of the project] was placing in all of the trees," Grazzy says in his YouTube video. "I ꦫwas literally placing every🔯 tree one at a time." 

By 2024, Grazzy's map was appropriately full of forests and flying dragons, an🐷d he became more determined to comp💛lete it. 

"Being so close to the end," he says, "I was more motivated than I ever had been. My schedule was clear🅷ed, and I put everything else aside to solely focus on finishing this proj﷽ect."

The 🦋result of all this brain-melting work is what turned out to be a spectacular Breath of the Wild replica.💯 the miraculous map for free, and that it can be played in Survival mode.
