Aonuma says it was “a big challenge” to make collecting rupees matter in A Link Between Worlds, where the rental system idea came from

In some of the more recent Zelda titles, there hasn’t been much of a point in buying rupees. That’s all changing with Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which is almost completely dependent on the currency. Players will buy and/or rent items this time around rather than acquiring them for free in dungeons.

Aonuma: Zelda film would have to “change what a movie is”, would be more interactive

A Zelda movie may not be out of the question. At the very least, series producer Eiji Aonuma says he’s “talked about” the subject with creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
If we were to see a Zelda film, it wouldn’t be your typical viewing event. Aonuma told Kotaku that Nintendo would to “make it more interactive, like you’re able to take your 3DS into the theater and that leads you into participating in it somehow.”
Aonuma added, “We wouldn’t want to make it the same as any other movie. We want to somehow change what a movie is.”
“This is something that me and Mr. Miyamoto talked about. If we were to make a Zelda title, if we had interest in doing that, I think really what would be most important to us is to be able to play with the format of a movie, make it more interactive, like you’re able to take your 3DS into the theater and that leads you into participating in it somehow. We wouldn’t want to make it the same as any other movie. We want to somehow change what a movie is.”
