Replaying Night in the Woods and watching my partner play Breath of the Wild is making me realize how important color palette is for making a game look good. Neither of those games would be anything near as pretty if the colors weren't as well chosen as they are.
In a lot of places, BotW is incredibly bright and saturated, but it manages to still always have balance. What really impresses me is how strongly it's able to evoke the look of classic 2D Zelda games just through its use of color.
