Being able to dive from the sky to the surface and into a pond seamlessly in this title sure does feel exhilarating. It truly feels like an open-air game this time around. Thank you very much. Many may already be familiar, but, Aonuma-san, could you give us a brief introduction to the Legend of the Zelda series? Is it an homage? An Easter egg? Hmm. The book is *not* a fantasy. It’s a historical drama set in the real world,” wrote Schwartz, who said she was alerted to the anomaly by a Reddit user.
Since this is a sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the foundation, but I see there are also various considerations for new players as well. By the way, if you're using the same world, don't you need to put effort into creating differences in the graphics and sound? Hello, I’m Hidemaro Fujibayashi, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's director. Continuing from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (3) and the previous game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (4), I proposed the fundamental idea of the game and directed the entire production team. Hi, I’m Satoru Takizawa, the art director for this game. I first joined the series with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and since then, I’ve been handling artwork and design for titles such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (5) and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I've coordinated the visuals since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.That's true. It's not just a satisfying way to travel. (Laughs) So you're saying that being able to look over Hyrule from above and descend from the sky further expands the scope of the gameplay, right? The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Launched in May 2003 for Nintendo GameCube. The player controls the wind with a mysterious baton to sail across the ocean and explore the different islands. Hello, I’m Eiji Aonuma, the producer of The Legend of Zelda series. My first role in the series was designing dungeons for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1). I served as the director and producer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2), and I’ve been the series' producer ever since. Hello, I’m Hajime Wakai, the sound director. My first involvement in the series was when I composed music for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. I’ve been involved as the sound director for the series since The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Released for Nintendo Switch and Wii U in March 2017. Awakening from a 100-year slumber, the protagonist, Link, must explore and survive the vast and dangerous land of Hyrule to regain his memories. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is its direct sequel. The Legend of Zelda series seems to be one of those franchises where the visual style and game mechanics often change drastically for each entry. Was there ever a discussion about creating a new game with a completely new world rather than a sequel? Yes. In contrast, we made some fairly big changes to the gameplay. In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, if players wanted to travel from the sky to the ground, they had to select it from the map, but in this game, you can dive from the sky directly to the ground without any interruption. On top of that, players can also ride on flying vehicles and so on, offering even more freedom within the same setting as the previous game. If a location were completely unfamiliar to you, you'd probably be hesitant to dive down from the sky, but because it’s a world that you’ve already explored in the previous game, these transportation methods make sense. Yes, this title is set in Hyrule shortly after the end of the previous game. There are many reasons why we chose this setting. After finishing development on the previous title, we wondered if we could make it possible for players to continue exploring the world after they've reached the game's ending.Adding the ability to dive from the sky was also partly due to Aonuma-san and Fujibayashi-san's persistence, right? (Laughs) Of course. The Legend of Zelda series is set in the kingdom of Hyrule, where the sacred power of goddesses resides. It is a series featuring both action and puzzle solving, in which the protagonist Link, the player's avatar, battles against Ganondorf and others who are scheming to obtain that power. In many games, Link must also help Princess Zelda who is destined to be endowed with the sacred power of goddesses. This title, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which released in 2017. Once again, it takes place in the vast land of Hyrule after the conclusion of the previous game.
