Aonuma excited about Ocarina of Time 3D, says 3DS is perfect for Zelda
“I am excited. With the Nintendo 3DS, all of the new elements and the 3D technology is perfect for The Legend Of Zelda series. It’s everything from the depth that you get from riding through vistas or a more accurate sense of distance between you and the enemy you are fighting. I think it is perfect for this series. Of course we are very excited to see what it can do. Of course I look at what the development environment is like and one of the things that I want to take up further going forward is how playing in 3D effects things. Does it make you tired? Do you want to create a game where players are sitting in front of their systems for a long period of time? Obviously there are things that can be 3D but we don’t have to shoehorn it in. If it’s beneficial, of course, we’ll want to use it. So what I would like to do is to take a look at what other people are doing out there, see what the reaction is, then go back and figure out exactly what I want out of 3D.” – Eiji Aonuma
Even though I’m looking forward to projects like Kid Icarus: Uprising and Metal Gear Solid 3DS, I think Ocarina of Time 3D is my most anticipated title for the 3DS. After all, the N64 game is one of my favorite titles of all time! I can’t wait to see what it looks like in 3D.
