Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
As the director and producer respectively, Hidemaro Fujibayashi and Eiji Aonuma are two of the most important people working on the Zelda series currently and they recently finished up Tears of the Kingdom as director and producer respectively. Both have been involved with the franchise for decades at this point. Fujibayashi started out with Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages in 2001 while Aonuma has been around even longer – specifically in 1998 with Ocarina of Time.
Fujibayashi and Aonuma, speaking with RTL Nieuws, were recently asked if they’re afraid of getting “stuck” in the sense that they only continue to work on Zelda games. However, both don’t seem to view it that way.
Here’s what the two shared:

Zelda producer says Ganondorf could see more character development and personality changes
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has commented a bit about Ganondorf and what could be done with the character in the series in the future.
Ganondorf is back again in Tears of the Kingdom after taking a bit of a backseat to other villain stories in the more recent entries in the series. He was technically there in Breath of the Wild, but only as Calamity Ganon – which didn’t really have a true physical form or personality. Yet even with his appearance in the new game, the most amount of development Ganondorf gets still probably goes to The Wind Waker.

Some Zelda fans have called for the princess herself to take a starring role in Nintendo’s legendary franchise – especially as a playable character. However, we’ve yet to really see that even those the series has been around for decades. While Zelda has been more present on some of Link’s adventures, she often has more of a background role.
So what will it take for Zelda to get an adventure of her own? Vanity Fair recently posted that very question to series producer Eiji Aonuma.
