Models first had to be created, including Link and his shield / sword, before they could be animated.
Creating the models was the easy part, as RwanLink then made a cel shader to test how light and shows react to the character. The final look of the image was defined directly in Unreal Engine 5. What may surprise you is that all the details you see were directly modeled onto the mesh without using textures, just flat colors. Lastly, the camera angles had to be adjusted so viewers don’t look outside the action.
