In fact, creativity, which I define as the process
of having
original ideas that have
value, more often than not comes about through the interaction
of different disciplinary ways
of seeing things.
- 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
It's new role as a good companion to PS4 will further extend its
value & still carries on the
original vision
of playing console class games via a portable device, and I like the image
of the woman using her Vita with PS now at the office, bringing to mind the
idea that I could literally have top notch games accessible to me in a variety
of places and don't have to worry about carrying around a ton
of extra stuff.
Valve's
original plan sparked a wave
of clashing conflicts rooted in dozens
of factors across the modding community, the Skyrim community, the developer community, and beyond, turning a previously well - known draw
of PC games into a battleground for new
ideas and established
values.
