The developers of The Legend of Zelda series took a look back at some of the most popular games in the series (and the latest installment, Breath of the Wild) in July, digging into the art and inspiration behind the series.

The panel has finally been translated into English (click the closed-caption button on the video above if you don't speak Japanese or French).

The Zelda developers talk about everything from the inspiration behind iconic monsters to the design of the opening cinematics, and show off a handful of sketches and concept designs for a few of games in the series.
