It’s nice to see this game in a language other than Japanese. I just wish Nintendo announced this game for North America!

This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…

Iwata: The release date got pushed back several times.

Aonuma: Yeah.

Iwata: In general, when a release date gets pushed back and the due date for development is extended, hard days lie ahead, so the atmosphere gets heavy.

Takizawa: But that didn’t happen at all with this project.

Aonuma: Why was that?

Takizawa: Instead, we were like, “All right!”

Iwata: Huh? All right? (laughs)

This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…

Morita: The Water Temple is in Lake Hylia. Aonuma-san designed that dungeon. The boss that appears there is Morpha. Just when I was making that, there was a landform like a pool.

Iwata: Morpha rises up out of the pool and fights Link.

Morita: Right. When I was making that boss, I casually…

Iwata: “Casually”? (laughs) I doubt you had that kind of time!

Morita: But for some reason I did. (laughs)

Everyone: (laughs)

This is pretty nuts. As revealed in the latest Iwata Asks, the fire temple boss Volvagia has the same movements as a fighter aircraft in Star Fox 64. Kazuaki Morita programmed bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and also worked on Star Fox 64 3D.

Iwata: Yes, some things aren’t easy to explain.

Takizawa: An example from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the boss Volvagia, which looks like a dragon.

Iwata: Yes. The boss in the Fire Temple.

Takizawa: Volvagia is a dragon, so it wriggles and undulates. I only gave Morita-san the dragon model parts, but he set it in motion immediately. It was mysterious how he could do that.

Iwata: You were impressed—like, “I don’t get it, but wow!”

To say the least, The Great Fairy in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time looks anything but subdued. She comes shooting out of the fountain, with a loud laugh, and with some… interesting attire.

The Great Fairy’s look was certainly intentional. According to Yoshiki Haruhana, a character designer on the original game, revealed in the latest Iwata Asks that he was trying to draw a unique fairy so that she wouldn’t be boring.

Aonuma: The Great Fairy is one character you never forget.

Iwata: The Great Fairy is extremely flamboyant!

Aonuma: The first time I saw her, rather than smile, I drew back! (laughs)

Everyone: (laughs)

Personally, I’m more interested in Wii Play: Motion, Nintendo’s other June release, over Mystery Case Files. It’s kind of strange to see Mystery Case Files returning, but I guess some of the more casual gamers might pick the title up.
