Eiji Aonuma, the producer behind The Legend of Zelda has spectacularly revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword wasn’t any good at the start of the development process, and it wasn’t until he finally stepped in and decided to take charge of the critically acclaimed game that Skyward Sword finally took shape.
“Well, thanks to the hard work of the designers, the island in the sky, named Skyloft, gradually came together,” said Aonuma during the latest Iwata Asks discussion. “This time, Link is going to the Knight Academy and is living in the dormitory. It’s a somewhat elaborate setting, so I wasn’t sure it would be all right, but when it had come together somewhat, I had Iwamoto-san show me the game from the beginning. And to be honest, it was no good at all!
“I could see that if it hadn’t come together to a certain extent by that point, when Miyamoto-san came in, he would be like, “What have you been doing all this time?!” I was worried.
“So the situation was coming to a boil. But even when I said, “Get on top of that!” there wasn’t anyone to do so, so I was like, “Then I’ll do it myself!”
if eiji would ever do a zelda game without miyamoto, i wouldnt feel too bad,
i wonder what miyamoto wouldve done if the game’s final product wasnt what ge expected it to be
He’d scrap it and start again xD
imagen waiting another year for zelda :o
that would mean one more year for the Wii!(since Nintendo promised that it would be in the wii
eiji is good, real good… but not nearly as good as miyamoto
fact ^ ^ ^
that´s right
Eiji is a really good developer, and I’d say he’s at this moment just as good as Miyamoto.
Eiji is really good but not on the same level as Miyamoto. Eiji handles Zelda while Miyamoto has his hands in multiple franchises.
I bought miyamoto’s pup off him, cute
Is your name a play on Giratina? =P If so, really neat. :)
Sounds more like Nicotine. He must smoke a lot…
True
Not Pokemon related good thinking tho mayne

Those guys have set a standard that no one else can achieve.
It’s like metal gear solid. If hideo Kojima didn’t work on it chances are it sucked (cough*portableops*cough)
Hmm if both of them are so needed to make the story of the games work, I hope they never die..
Miyamoto needs to put inside a robot body that way his epicness will never die
This. Very much this.

Both Aonuma and Miyamoto are ruining Zelda. Stop dumbing down this great franchise and make good games again, even if they don’t sell shit!
Greed ruins everything, dammit!
