I play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. You probably play, too. Your friends play, and likely their friends. You know who else enjoys some Smash in their free time? The creator of the game itself: Masahiro Sakurai. In a recent interview for Famitsu, Sakurai states that the latest entry in the fighting game franchise still keeps…
When Joe Hernandez, the voice of Gorons Daruk and Yunobo, auditioned for Breath of the Wild, he had no clue what he was auditioning for. In an interview with Cat With Monocle, Hernandez revealed, “I remember the specs calling for a British/Mid-Atlantic voice, which was in my wheelhouse. I remember nothing in any of the audition…
When playing through a massively open, exploration-based title like Breath of the Wild, it’s easy to forget how much work goes into creating such a spectacle. While it broke the tried and true formula of past Zelda games, it created a unique spin with roots in the origins of the franchise. Approaching the development of…
Ever wonder what goes into being a full time YouTuber or Twitch streamer? I’ll give you a hint, it’s way more than just playing video games and talking about gaming for a few hours a couple of times a week. I moderated a panel this past weekend at MomoCon where I interviewed Mr. Creepy Pasta, Raqib,…

Miyamoto begins by stating that even though he has…
YouTuber ZackScottGames had the chance to interview Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in New York recently.

As part of their mammoth month of Breath of the Wild coverage, Game Informer have released a quick fire video interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma. The four minute interview manages to cram in 51 questions, on a whole variety of topics, including whether or not Link wears his classic green in the game, whether…
Breath of the Wild is big (thank you Captain Obvious), and we already know that there’s a ton of stuff for Link to get done in this latest version of Hyrule. Whilst it is possible to go straight from the Shrine of Resurrection to the final showdown with Calamity Ganon, without even so much as…
It’s been 25 years since A Link To The Past arrived on the SNES, but thanks to some sleuthing and translating from Shmuplations, we’ve got a fresh insight into the development of the game. The interview is with Shigeru Miyamoto from around the game’s original release, and but for the game titles, one could be forgiven…
Artist Satoru Takizawa has revealed that Twilight Princess was originally being developed as a sequel to Wind Waker. The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts art book is scheduled to release in February 2017 in the west, but is already out in Japan, featuring interviews including this one. Series producer Eiji Aonuma announced “Wind Waker 2”…
In this month’s issue of EDGE magazine, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma spoke of the challenges he and his team have come across in implementing a day/night cycle in Breath of the Wild. Such temporal changes aren’t a new element in Zelda games, but it can be said that the last few home console installments have left something to be desired. From the waiting game for…
