Overwatch: Developer Update – Introducing Link (Incl. Ingame Footage)

In this very violent video our favourite Game Director Jeff Kaplan introduces Overwatch’s 25th hero: Link. Rated M for mediocrely measured for blood, use of tobacco, violence and Jeff Kaplan. Link is currently available for testing on the PTR. We look forward to hearing your feedback about our newest addition to Overwatch!

In the beginning of march when I was thinking about what I could do as April Fools video I considered that it would be interesting to combine two of my favourite games, The Legend of Zelda and Overwatch. So I started collecting ideas about the video, making a script and editing. It took me about 90 hours to finish it. It was really fun and I’ve learnt a lot about video editing, image editing and Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch team who is certainly very excited to be here.

Special thanks to the talented actors in the ingame scenes who I’m not paying for their acting ability.
