Games Radar has unearthed a 2005 EDGE interview with The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma in which he speaks openly about the beloved The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Aonuma told the publication that the team had originally intended to make the game larger than it was, but due to time constraints they had to make it more compact. However, Aonuma says that they were determined to make the adventure as entertaining as possible and they succeeded.
“I think that that’s my fault. To tell the truth, originally we were thinking about something bigger, and in order to make it on time we had to make it more compact-sized,” adding, “even though I say compact, we were trying our best so that we could entertain people enough.”
Aonuma continues, “That was our intention and I thought that we could do that But if people are feeling that way, that was my fault for lack of effort, and of course when it comes to the new Legend Of Zelda, I really don’t want to have that kind of impression from the players,”
The wind waker was perfect for what it was. It’s still one of my go to games today
I don’t think it was a short game, but I wouldn’t get tired if it was bigger.
Miyamoto wasn’t a fan of the game’s art style and resented it.
and then, TP was released. Colorless, almost soulless. Miyamoto was wrong there.
You realized that people hated how wind waker looked and begged for a darker zelda game? So if you have a problem with the theming, blame fans back then.
Nonsense! TP was very colorful, that’s a delusional take I’ve never understood. How can you seriously believe that when we can all play it and see otherwise? I think TP has the best visuals of the whole series, nothing close, looks a lot better than Wind Waker or Breath of the Wild. I like cartoony, exaggerated stuff, but TP was a stunningly beautiful game.
Some people say WW will have the best-aging graphics in the series, but I really don’t think TP looks much worse. You can see the polygons a little more and texture quality is more obviously low-res, but I’d be just as happy with the visuals in another 50 years. Best game in the series, in my book, and the visuals were only part of the reason.
Wind Waker used to be a top Zelda for me but in recent years It’s moved down the list
We already knew they had to cut 2 dungeons. I remember because they asked why wasn’t those cut dungeons added to Wind Waker HD and they said they had already used those dungeons in subsequent Zelda games.
I loved how Twilight Princess Looked, if they had done a proper remaster instead of what they done on Wii U, it would have looked amazing on Modern Consoles as well. For Gamecube and Wii, it looked Amazing
I rather have Twilight Princess art style than “Generic Anime” Breath of the Wild art style. The tech demo they had to help show off the WiiU was beautiful.
The only piece of Dogshit I see is you, Thank god you are stupid, because if you were intelligent enough to realize how unsufferable and unlikable you were you’d probably end up doing (Statement Redacted). I mean that’d be a win for me, probably your family as well, along with everyone else around you if you did though. Like For real, if this is the way you usually are which I guaranteed it is, nobody will ever like you.
Bros having a meltdown defending his shitty trash Zelda game lmaoooo 🫵😂
Schizo is arguing with himself again on alt accounts
You mean like you do?
You guys realize that everyone is crapping on the graphics, not the game itself. It honestly might be my favorite traditional 3d Zelda game behind botw and oot. It’s a game with good gameplay, but poor graphics.
That’s great. Now tell us when the next Zelda game will arrive.
Jk jk I am actually the same person lmao.
You retards will fall for anything 😂
They can tell you aren’t due to the image by my name. You are a loser for spending your entire day harassing people on a Nintendo news site. Nobody likes you and I’m not just talking on this site. You are a stain on humanity. At least your genes will end with you.
Imagine the highlight of your life being a slight annoyance on a small Nintendo news site. Theres only a few people who even comment and read comments on this site. The guy is literally wasting his life and being again to ignorant to realize that the world would be better without them.
Bro is still seething and taking the bait lmaoooo 🫵😂
Dammit, guys I just shit myself on my Midna body pillow, any help?
Twilight Princess wasn’t terrible gameplay and story wise, but it definitely made me realize, before I became an insufferable realistic graphics dudebro asshole gamer, that realistic graphics will NEVER be the end all, be all of gaming. Realistic isn’t bad but it’s not untouchable, either. Wind Waker is STILL the best entry in the LoZelda franchise for me. (And one of the more darker entries, too, because the plot twist toward the middle of the game was hidden behind such cartoony visuals.)
I’m so glad I didn’t turn into that gamer type thanks to WW being better than TP.
