Aonuma talks the scale of Zelda Wii U, thinks of Kyoto as his base
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 21 Comments
As part of an interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, MMGN asked how big of an open world we can expect in the new Wii U game. Aonuma responded by saying that he uses Kyoto as his base.
Check out the conversation between the two below:
MMGN: This is the first truly open world in a Zelda game — you showed how Zelda has progressed since the NES in terms of map layout and movement — so in the biggest world yet, how “big” can we expect?
Mr. Aonuma: In terms of the scale of the new Zelda world on Wii U, I always think of Kyoto as my base.
Do you know Kyoto?
Ummm…a little [laughs]
MMGN also asked how the team plans to reward players for exploring the world of Zelda Wii U. Aonuma’s response was interesting, with him noting that it comes down to gaining “acquired experience” that helps you progress further and better reach your goals.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has previously spoken about unifying its console and handheld development. The company hasn’t said if we’ll ever see a system that embodies both types of hardware, but Nintendo wants its systems to take advantage of the same type of “architecture”.
Shigeru Miyamoto recently commented about what this may mean for the future while speaking with Kotaku. The site went a bit further and even asked if there could ever be a day in which games could be made across Nintendo devices/teams making projects that could be played on the TV/on the go.
Here’s what was shared:
