Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma still finds it exciting to collaborate with Shigeru Miyamoto
Eiji Aonuma has had a very long career at Nintendo, and specially working on Zelda. Aonuma first got involved with the series on Ocarina of Time and has been one of the key members of the development team since then.
At E3 2019 this week, Game Informer decided to ask Aonuma about his career. The developer said that as opposed to before, “I have a great team with great people with different skills to help me create things together.”
In the same interview, Game Informer asked about his collaboration with other Nintendo producers such as Shigeru Miyamoto or Takashi Tezuka. To that, he said:
“It’s very interesting that you bring up Mr. Miyamoto. I’ve never thought of it as collaborating with him! Now that you’ve phrased it that way, I think, ‘Oh, working with Mr. Miyamoto is a collaboration.’ That’s kind of exciting!”
