I don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.

Entertainment companies always have to stay on the edge of trying to catch that certain thing that will grab people's attention. And that thing is always changing. Nintendo has been doing this for a long, long time. Originally, we weren't even a video game company, but we were still an entertainment company. So I can't say what that next thing is, but I can say, at Nintendo we're trying to create new ways to play.

Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

I am not Link, but I do know him! Even after 18 years, the Legend of Zelda never stops changing and this game is no different. We are now taking you to a world where Link has grown up--a world where he will act different and look different. In order to grow, Link must not stand still and neither will I.

Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good.
