Koizumi thought of Zelda: Majora’s Mask moon story while daydreaming

We all get inspiration from different places. Some of us get our ideas while driving or while taking a shower. As for Yoshiaki Koizumi… he came up with the moon element for Zelda: Majora’s Mask through a simple daydream! The Nintendo developer recently told the Official Nintendo Magazine:

“Occasionally I also take images from dreams. Perhaps I am a little bit different from Mr Miyamoto in that sense. So if I could just give an example of one of those idle daydreams that turns into an idea for a game, I would look up at the moon and think about what would happen if the moon started to fall towards Earth. From that idea we moved onto the world in Majora’s Mask which is threatened by being destroyed by the moon.”
