IGN continued to post snippets from their Eiji Aonuma interview today. Earlier this week, the site posted a response from the Zelda producer about partnerships, while the latest article focuses on complexity, training, and story.

First up, here’s what Aonuma had to say about adding more complexity to the series:

“I’m not really opposed to adding more complexity to Zelda. However, I don’t think Zelda needs complicated elements that have to be mastered before a player can enjoy the core of the game’s appeal. I think Zelda should be a game that is simple but that also has enough depth and variety to enable players to continue to make new discoveries.”

Next, Aonuma discussed the tutorial process in Skyward Sword:

“The tutorial process in [Skyward Sword] wasn’t designed with the specific goal of educating new players. The process was designed to let the player become familiar with the world of Skyloft and to communicate with its residents. After the tutorial process, Zelda disappears and Link has to descend by himself to the unexplored surface world. The intent of the tutorial is to give players a strong connection to Skyloft, which is Link’s home, and to Zelda.”

Finally, Aonuma took a moment to comment about the story elements in Zelda:

“We’re always trying to incorporate story elements into Zelda games in a balanced manner. If you’re saying that the story stood out more than anything else, then I feel like we need to work harder to achieve the right balance in the next Zelda game.”

Hmm… I’m not sure if I like the sound of that last comment. I thought that the story was handled beautifully in Skyward Sword, personally…

U.S. District Court Judge Says No Need for Jury Trial

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– For the third consecutive time this year, Nintendo has prevailed in a patent litigation in the U.S. A Maryland U.S. District Court judge has summarily dismissed a patent infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by IA Labs CA, LLC. IA Labs had alleged that the Wii Balance Board accessory and Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus software infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No. 7,121,982).

“Nintendo has a passionate tradition of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent. We refuse to succumb to patent trolls,” said Rick Flamm, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of Legal & General Counsel.
