- Link doesn't have much
of a character in this
game - they wanted players to relate to Link and play as themselves - Link
's face doesn't have much expression in this
game, and that
was done on purpose - for Zelda
games, the devs always try to make the player feel like Link - that
was pushed even moreso for this entry - everytime a Zelda releases, Aonuma watches fan feedback and considers that for the future - the items Link uses to solve
are always going to
be important - regardless
of the tech that Nintendo provides, exploration in the series
is important - Link
's growth through who he meets
is also an important element
of the franchise - Aonuma thought about Zelda freedom when considering Breath
of the Wild, and
was brought back to the days
of the original Zelda - this
was a big point
of inspiration for Breath
of the Wild - with Ocarina
of Time 3D, Nintendo wanted to really utilize the 3D and had a desire to let players enjoy Ocarina
of Time outside - the goal with A Link to the Past
was creating more depth - Aonuma used to think that getting lost in a 3D world wasn't okay - this lead Aonuma to putting in tons
of hints and guiding players - he has since changed that idea and convinced himself that it
's okay to get lost - the first two years
of development the devs created a
game where just running around
was fun - climbing
is very important, because players can climb high and see destinations they want to visit - you can place your own markers to decide where you want to go - when the devs create a Zelda title, they consider not using the
name Link - since they don't have anything else to go with, they choose Link - the
name Link doesn't hold much value, since the player
is the one creating the journey - when Nintendo first created Link, they wanted a character that
is literally the link between people - that
is why his
name is Link - to think that the Zelda series has
been around so long that there
are all sorts
of urban legends and myths makes Miyamoto really happy
«Affordability will
be the
name of the
game over the course
of 2017, as the past few years
of relatively impressive price
growth have pushed home prices closer to the peak levels
of 2006, with several markets reaching above and beyond to all - time highs,» Villacorta says.
