Touch-ds.jp recently conducted an interview with Nintendo mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto about the upcoming Zelda game for the DS, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Being as it's all in Japanese and most of us over here can't speak the language, the fine folks at the Hylia have translated it so we can all share in the Miyamoto magic. Towards the end, Mr. Miyamoto send out a few messages, with one of them going out to the Zelda fans.
First, a message to the Zelda fans. I think the Zelda series has evolved throughout the years. This game is no exception. We've changed the gameplay mechanics and it makes the game fresh and fun. We've also introduced the phantom hourglass system, and I'd like you to give it a try. Furthermore, the staff has done some research on Zelda to decide whether something fits in the game, so this game has many elements with the Zelda essence.
It's a great little interview and I just love hearing game developers talk about their work. People like Peter Molyneux, Ken Levine and Mr. Miyamoto passion in what they do and it really shows when they talk about the great games they make for us all to enjoy.
