Eiji Aonuma may be in charge of the Zelda series for the most part, but Shigeru Miyamoto is still around as a significant member of the team. In fact, Aonuma feels that Miyamoto is still “the most important user for the Zelda games before their release.”

Aonuma recently spoke about Miyamoto’s importance to the development of Zelda titles with ONM:

“I think that Miyamoto is the most important user for the Zelda games before their release. How he sees the games is a guide for us in terms of whether what we are making is any good, including whether it is right for Zelda, because users will be sure to judge them even more harshly after the release.”

Aonuma also discussed a dream of his – to hear Miyamoto say, “I couldn’t make a game like this.”

“A long time ago I came up with the phrase ‘upending the tea table’ for him, but recently there haven’t been any big upendings, so maybe that’s proof that I’ve come closer to his vision. My dream is to have Miyamoto say to me, ‘This is amazing. I couldn’t make a game like this,’ but there’s still a long way to go. I will keep trying my best.”
