Aonuma recalls how Zelda: Ocarina of Time helped one girl recover from her illness

Eiji Aonuma has shared the one Zelda-related memory that moved him the most.
Back in the day, Aonuma received a fan letter from the mother of an elementary school girl who was sadly hospitalized due to an illness. She gave her daughter Zelda: Ocarina of Time to play.
After initially thinking that it would be impossible to complete, the girl started to get the hang of things and ended up deciding, “if Link is trying this hard, then I will, too!” – referring to her rehabilitation. “And before they knew it, she was back to her healthy self,” Aonuma said.
Check out Aonuma’s full words below.
