Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has a few references to Majora’s Mask. One of these, as many fans are aware, is the inclusion of the mask in Link’s house.
Game director Hiromasa Shikata told Game Informer this month that the reference “was a special request from Aonuma’s production team.” He also teased, “Now why would they ask us to do that?”

60 FPS not necessarily a standard for all future Zelda games
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
For The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Nintendo managed to implement silky smooth 60 frames per second. This begs the question: could future Zelda titles incorporate the same rate as well?
Well… no. Zelda: A Link Between Worlds director Hiromasa Shikata says 60 FPS isn’t necessarily a standard for additional entries in the series. In the case of the 3DS game, the team wanted to ensure a “smooth” look for the 3D visuals, “allow the players to clearly see enemy movements, and keep everything moving crisply as with previous games.” Having said that, “This doesn’t mean that all future Zelda titles will run at 60 frames per second.”
Shikata told Game Informer:
It’s really the concept of the game that changes whether you want to keep the volume of information in the game low and running at 60 frames per second. We kept it at 60 to make the 3D look smooth, allow the players to clearly see enemy movements, and keep everything moving crisply as with previous games. This doesn’t mean that all future Zelda titles will run at 60 frames per second.
Bravely Second will offer improved visuals compared to its predecessor
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Bravely Second is still a long ways off, but producer Tomoya Asano and designer Akihiko Yoshida have been regularly talking with Japanese outlets about the upcoming 3DS game.
In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida said that the game will include enhanced graphics compared to Bravely Default. He said:
Basically the [battle] system does not change but the graphics are better than in the previous game. It’s possible to fill a dense background with thicker lines and strike a balance between the two. In the previous game, we felt the resolution was too low when zooming in. But this time, the denser background and camera zoom in does not affect quality, and unlike the previous game I don’t feel that [Bravely Second] falls apart when the camera is closer.
