The Zelda series has long dabbled with the concept of dual worlds (Light and Dark World, Past and Present, Hyrule and Twilight), and it would be exciting to see Nintendo apply this concept to multiple worlds within the same game. Overall, the idea of using different visual styles and color palettes for different worlds is something that would be incredibly exciting to see in a future Zelda game.

With this in mind, could Across The Spider-Verse‘s approach to world design and art style (using different visual designs and drawing from different inspirations for each world) be applied to a future Zelda game? Though it is extremely time-consuming and challenging to create a variety of visual identities and world designs, the use of different color palettes, art styles, and world designs made every location in the film feel distinct and exciting. The use of different visual styles and different world designs is one of the elements that drew me to Across The Spider-Verse. If you are interested in the design concepts for all of the different worlds, you can check out this article for a full breakdown.

For Earth-1610 (Miles’ world), the animators use techniques that evoke classic comics. The futuristic world of Earth-928 (home to Miguel O’Hara) is inspired by the science fiction art of Syd Mead, John Berkey, John Harris, and John Bell. For example, Earth-65 (Gwen Stacy’s world) uses vivid watercolors, and the colors of the backgrounds often change depending on the mood of the scene. Each of the dimensions or worlds in Across The Spider-Verse have their own distinct color palettes, real life influences, and world designs.

In addition to the incredible voice acting, genre-defying musical score, and heartfelt storytelling, the film’s approach to animation and world design are a huge part of what makes the film so memorable. Movie may be the most commercially successful animated film this year, Across The Spider-Verse is my pick for the best animated film of the year.
