Tutorial: Making a Zelda-Style Cel Shading Art Style in Unity

Many games, including hits like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, and Okami, use stylized cel-shading art style to help them stand out graphically. Daniel Ilett, a tutorial-maker and shader magician, has released a great tutorial on creating this art style in Unity and using it in your own project. In this tutorial, you'll learn the secrets of cel-shading in Shader Graph by using our own custom lighting and end up with an effect that supports multiple lights.

In this project, Daniel uses Unity 2020.3.2f1 and URP 10.4.0, but it should work with other versions as well, as reads the description of the tutorial.
