Why Nintendo got rid of Wuhu Island

Описание: For a while, Wuhu Island was in almost every Nintendo game. From Wii Sports to Mario Kart to Smash, Wuhu Island really was iconic. But all of a sudden, Nintendo stopped using Wuhu Island completely! It's been almost 10 years since we've last seen the iconic setting, in fact.

So in this video, I want to find out why Wuhu Island was created, why Nintendo stopped using it in their games, and how Wuhu Island influenced later games, including Zelda.
