Came across this video from Polygon. It's a brief explanation as to why the physics engine in TOTK is so...well mindblowing. They have a game producer and a game software engineer to talk about it from the perspective of people that work in the industry.
Interestingly, the producer points to two things reasons why Nintendo was able to pull off such a feat: 1) Time to polish the game and 2) having senior level staff that have been with the company for a long time. She says the industry has a contractor problem and that for one game she was working on, she had to hire a bunch of contractors whose contracts only lasted 18 months. Thought it was an interesting point. As we know from Halo Infinite which had a similar contractor problem, if you are continuously turning over people during the development of a game, it's gonna bite you in the ass.
