Twitter user Oscar Lemaire has put together a chart comparing sales of Zelda games since Majora’s Mask originally launched for the N64, based on data provided by Famitsu/Enterbrain. Check it out above.
What’s shown in blue represents first week sales. Red is for the other weeks. Combining them provides total sales.
While speaking with Kotaku, The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma discussed the character’s origins. View his comments below.
“I guess the heart of the character there is a little bit of a gag kind of feeling to it. The way the design of the character started is that we needed to think about how the character—the player—would get access to maps in this game. Of course, you could go with a situation where, as soon as he sees an area, you just open up your map and it fills in for you, but we wanted to do something a little bit different.
“So, we thought, what if you had to buy maps? Then suddenly we needed a character that you would be buying maps from. We ultimately ended up with a character here that had a little bit of humor to him that [came from] thinking of…’What sort of person would sell a map?’ And, well, we decided it would be the kind of person who makes a map. And the way that he makes a map is by floating through the air so that he can see the contours of the land and draw them.
