Throughout the Zelda series I've always tried to make players feel like they are in a kind of miniature garden. So, this time also, my challenge was how to make people feel comfortable and sometimes very scared at the same time. That is the big challenge.

If we end up creating a gameplay structure where it makes sense for, whether it's a female to go rescue a male or a gay man to rescue a lesbian woman or a lesbian woman to rescue a gay man, we might take that approach.

I believe that any sort of changes to interface that allows people to get into games and enjoy games is a great trend.

As long as I can enjoy something, other people can enjoy it, too.

When I look around and see how aged cartoonists continue to work on their manga and how movie directors create new movies all the time, I understand that they would never retire. And by the same token, I guess I will still be making games somehow. The only question is whether the younger people will be willing to work with me at that far point in the future.

I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.

I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.
