A lot of the interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto coming out of E3 this year were very game specific – in particular focusing on Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That makes sense given how big of a title it is for the company, but Kotaku went in a bit of a different direction with its discussion.

While speaking with Miyamoto, the site wanted to find out how Nintendo makes games – what goes into making them special, what makes them unique, what their core is. Miyamoto also went in-depth with Bill Trinen on controls, and also talked about topics like sound effects and advice for younger developers. Of course, some talk about Zelda: Breath of the Wild was sprinkled in as well.

Head past the break for some interview excerpts. You can find the full talk here.
