'''Upending the Tea Table''' is a phrase used to describe when someone, usually [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], steps in toward the end of a game's development to suddenly and radically change its direction. This often involves starting from scratch, rendering a large amount of work worthless. The phrase originates from a scene in a famous Japanese manga called "Star of the Giants", in which an angered father upends the tea table at which the family is eating, spilling dinner on the floor. | '''Upending the Tea Table''' is a phrase used to describe when someone, usually [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], steps in toward the end of a game's development to suddenly and radically change its direction.

Although it is destructive, Miyamoto always helps to clean it up and make improvements, and the team usually welcomes his wisdom.{{Ref|name=GDC}}{{Ref|[[Interview:IndustryGamers July 14th 2011|IndustryGamers, July 14th 2011]]}} | ||

Originally, [[Yosuke Hayashi]], one of the developers for ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', planned for it to be closer to a ''Zelda'' game than a ''[[Wikipedia:Dynasty Warriors|Dynasty Warriors]]'' game, adding elements of ''Dynasty Warriors'' onto the ''Zelda'' franchise. This included having [[boss]] battles in [[dungeon]]s and having certain characters in the game. However, Miyamoto upended the tea table and said that his proposal would not be the case, as what they are doing here is grafting ''Zelda'' onto the ''Dynasty Warriors'' experience. This was a reversal to what Hayashi proposed, and ''Hyrule Warriors'' ended up being based on Miyamoto's decision.{{Ref|[[Interview:Nintendo Life September 5th 2014|Nintendo Life, September 5th 2014]]||Eiji Aonuma}} | |||
