Using a live orchestra for the music in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was never up for consideration. Composer Ryo Nagamatsu told ONM this month that doing so wouldn’t have provided suitable sound for the 3DS speakers.

For A Link Between Worlds, Nintendo hoped to appeal to those who play the game with and without headphones. As such, the team wanted “orchestra-quality sounds that had the appropriate reverberation and instrumental arrangement for the Nintendo 3DS speakers.”

Nagamatsu’s comments in full:

Mike Meeker, an editor on the game, told the site:

The slick design really stood out. We felt that it shared similar flashy looks and UI of the later entries in the Persona series, and the sort of techno-futuristic-yet-fantasy aesthetic of it all has an interesting appeal.

Elsewhere in the interview, Meeker and and translator Mai Namba commented on what changes Atlus had to make from the Japanese version:

Here’s a nice little gesture on Nintendo’s part. For BLOK DROP U’s launch last week, the company’s Dev Support Team sent out a congratulations card to developer RCMADIAX. Take a look below:
