I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

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.

As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.

A good idea is something that does not solve just one single problem, but rather can solve multiple problems at once.

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 think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?
