In July, producer Eiji Aonuma told Nintendo Power that Ganon wouldn’t be in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. His explanation was terse, only noting that the decision was made due to the fact that “the Triforce sort of takes on a different meaning and plays a different role in the story.”

In a new interview with IGN, Aonuma provided a more in-depth response.

He told the site:

“From early on we were thinking that this was going to be the earliest story in the Zelda series, and it didn’t really make sense for us to have Ganon appear in this game. Obviously he makes his first appearance later and that would kind of confuse things, and so in terms of determining, ‘well then what are we going to do with who the antagonist in this game is,’ the answer that we came up with is this kind of strange character, Ghirahim, somebody who you can’t really tell is a man or a woman.

“So he’s sort of this character throughout the game that you’re fighting against who plays the antagonist role but his ultimate goal is trying to revive a greater more evil being than himself. So, you know, that’s perhaps something that might later have connections to Ganon and things like that, but from early on in this game, we knew that that wasn’t going to be the focus with this story.”

The Mushroom Kingdom Goes 3D in Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS

First Mario Game for Nintendo 3DS Hand-Held System Launches Nov. 13; Nintendo to Host Interactive Launch Event in Times Square on Nov. 12

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The timeless platforming fun of the Super Mario™ video game franchise expands into a new dimension this holiday season with the Nov. 13 launch of the Super Mario 3D Land™ game. Created exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, this new game places Mario™ and his friends in immersive environments that players can enjoy in true 3D without the need for special glasses. Also introducing power-ups, enemies and the return of Tanooki Mario, Super Mario 3D Land promises to satisfy series fans, newcomers and holiday gift seekers at a suggested retail price of $39.99 in the United States.

The game’s remarkable 3D visuals make it easy for players to judge depth and distance as they run through levels, collecting coins and bumping question blocks in search of interesting power-ups. Abilities such as rolling somersaults and high-speed dash moves add to players’ strategic options. Players also can play as Tanooki Mario, using his tail to hover or perform floating jumps and attacks. The game’s level design makes use of the Nintendo 3DS system’s 3D capabilities; some levels require players to progress from top to bottom, while others challenge them to move forward into the spatial depths of an environment. This is truly the next evolution in Mario game play.
