The Zelda series will be supervised by Aonuma for the foreseeable future

November 25th, 2008 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Written by Valay

We’ve been posting snippets from the Nintendo Power interview with Eiji Aonuma over the past week or so, but there is one last significant response to be shared. When asked about the success and longevity of Ocarina of Time, Aonuma said, “I’m happy that a title I worked on some time ago remains highly praised to this day, but that also shows how none of the subsequent games in the series have surpassed it. As someone who is still working on the series, I have mixed feelings about that. Because I haven’t yet surpassed it, I can’t quit. Surprisingly, that simply motivation may be the reason I continue to work on the Zelda series.” As Aounuma explains, he will overseeing the Zelda series (alongside Miyamoto) for a longtime to come. Quite honestly, I can’t imagine a Zelda game without the two of them being involved in the game development, considering how much they have influenced the series.

    I fully agree with everything said above; and even without Miyamoto (whenever a day might come when he’s not around and rest his soul, pass on in spirit and heart); Aounuma would be the one to forsee the Zelda series even after and forever more! I admire both men greatly; they are the true masterminds of Nintendo to me and will forever be the greatest!! :D

    I actually wonder what the new title is being, and what story that comes along. Even though it takes lots of time to make Zelda-games, first you have to write somekind of script, then do modeling, making the world, making music and finally programming. It doesnt wonder me if this is going to take 2-3 years, but im wery excited about when the next Zelda game is coming out. I am also tired of all the rickroll’s on youtube -.-
