in this
game - they wanted players to relate to Link and play as themselves - Link's face doesn't have much expression
in this

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

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
