Ocarina of Time creator Eiji Aonuma has offered a heart felt apology for the games notoriously troublesome Water Temple.
“The Water Temple in the Ocarina of Time was notorious for being very tough to conquer. I am most sorry that it was not easy for you to put on and take off the heavy boots; that all the time you had to visit the inventory.”
“I am very sorry about that. I should have made it much easier to switch to the heavy boots.”

Zelda series director Eiji Aonuma recently sat down with British news publication The Guardian and provided them with some interesting information regarding the next Zelda title for the Nintendo Wii.
“I have an eight-year-old son myself at home, and quite recently he started playing Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: ‘In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.’ He answered: ‘OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky … ‘”
At this point Aonuma paused, grining saying: “I just don’t know. If many people make many speculations … some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything.”
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma recently spoke to online gaming publication, IGN, and informed them that the overall structure of the Zelda franchise is set to change with Zelda Wii.
“We’re making efforts regarding the total flow of the Zelda game. So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you’re exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We’re looking at altering that traditional flow. That’s all I can share, and I can’t say more until E3 next year.”

Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma, the Legend of Zelda producer, recently sat down with the Official Nintendo Magazine and informed them that they’re hoping there will be a huge Zelda Wii related surprise at E3 2010.
“It is something we used to talk about with Mr Miyamoto, and he and I agree that if we are following the same structure again and again, we might not be able to give long time Zelda fans a fresh surprise.”
“So we have been trying something new in terms of the structure of the Wii version of the new Zelda game this time. I am really hopeful that people will be surprised with the changes we have implemented for this Wii version.”
“I hope that we can show you something at the E3 show next year and it is something we are hopeful will be surprising.”
