Here it is. 3: Twilight Princess – “Twilight Princess, because I wanted to create something better than Ocarina.” 2: Ocarina of Time – “Ocarina of Time is a game that gave me the...
D’aw, this is a wonderful interview. Handled by the folks at Game Informer, Nintendo Fellow Shigeru Miyamoto and Producer Eiji Aonuma sit down to answer 51 questions. The resulting video clip is fantastic. Link’s last name? Link. Link Link. Just like Mario Mario. Hyrule? It’s on Earth. Sure, let’s go with that. The best part of the vid happens when there are three cups on screen. I don...
Eiji Aonuma is currently the lead producer and mastermind behind all things Zelda, including the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo wants him doing more, though.

The Legend of Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma has a lot of impressive games on his resume, namely every single Legend of Zelda game since Ocarina of Time. However, the game that put him on Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto’s radar was a fabulous little adventure title called Marvelous: Another Treasure Island.

Nintendo finally came clean about the Nintendo 3DS remake of Majora's Mask during last week's Nintendo Direct presentation. For years, we wondered whether Nintendo was going to go through with the fan-favorite request, and Nintendo tormented us only with hints for what seemed like an eternity. It popped up in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and it also popped up on retailer...
Thank the maker! Legend of Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma has finally caught on to the idea that we do not want forced tutorials in our games. I had plenty of reservations about being forced to herd rams in the opening portions of The Twilight Princess, but nothing compares to the slow and dragging tutorials of The Skyward Sword. The game would be a masterpiece if it would just let me go...
