GameStop’s promotion of Zelda release is amazing
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This might be the neatest GameStop yet and it might even blow your mind considering we don’t often see something like this at the retailer. One store in particular has gone above and beyond any expectations a fan would have to promote the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Zelda posters, items, trinkets, and tons of other paraphernalia have been packed into the store. If only all GameStops cared about the game this much!
Zelda: Ocarina of Time game delays were met with joy from staff

This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…
Iwata: The release date got pushed back several times.
Aonuma: Yeah.
Iwata: In general, when a release date gets pushed back and the due date for development is extended, hard days lie ahead, so the atmosphere gets heavy.
Takizawa: But that didn’t happen at all with this project.
Aonuma: Why was that?
Takizawa: Instead, we were like, “All right!”
Iwata: Huh? All right? (laughs)
Ocarina of Time’s fishing pond resulted from casual experiments in the Water Temple
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…
Morita: The Water Temple is in Lake Hylia. Aonuma-san designed that dungeon. The boss that appears there is Morpha. Just when I was making that, there was a landform like a pool.
Iwata: Morpha rises up out of the pool and fights Link.
Morita: Right. When I was making that boss, I casually…
Iwata: “Casually”? (laughs) I doubt you had that kind of time!
Morita: But for some reason I did. (laughs)
Everyone: (laughs)
Volvagia’s movements are the same as a fighter aircraft in Star Fox 64
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This is pretty nuts. As revealed in the latest Iwata Asks, the fire temple boss Volvagia has the same movements as a fighter aircraft in Star Fox 64. Kazuaki Morita programmed bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and also worked on Star Fox 64 3D.
Iwata: Yes, some things aren’t easy to explain.
Takizawa: An example from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the boss Volvagia, which looks like a dragon.
Iwata: Yes. The boss in the Fire Temple.
Takizawa: Volvagia is a dragon, so it wriggles and undulates. I only gave Morita-san the dragon model parts, but he set it in motion immediately. It was mysterious how he could do that.
Iwata: You were impressed—like, “I don’t get it, but wow!”
