Aonuma might consider giving Princess Zelda her own game
Posted on June 17 2013 by Djinn
Recently nintendolife was able to sit down with Eiji Aonuma for an interview at this past E3 where they got to talk about a wide range of topics regarding the Zelda series. However when asked about the possibility of Zelda getting her own game sometime in the future he makes a very interesting response. Also later on within the article he makes a few comments about the possibility of adding DLC or extra content to future titles, Majora’s Mask, and revisiting A Link to the Past.

NL: The Zelda series tells the story of a male hero rescuing a female princess. Would you ever consider giving Zelda her own game?
Aonuma: This is the second time I’ve received this question during this E3! I guess if people have strong feelings about it then it’s something to consider. I’ll keep that in mind! [laughs]
NL: Fans have often said that they’d like to see a 3D remake of Majora’s Mask, just as there was one of Ocarina of Time. There were rumours that it was a possibility – is that still the case, or are you focusing on new games from now on?
Aonuma: You’ve heard rumours? [laughs] Hmm, I wonder! [laughs again]
NL:I would be very excited myself, it’s one of my favourites of the series.
Aonuma: Majora’s Mask is a very special game – it’s the real hardcore who like that one. If we were to make a remake of that one then we wouldn’t want to let them down. We’d have to put our heart and soul into it. So, you say you’ve heard rumours, but I have to say it would be quite a commitment to do that.

As I have said in the past, I love these types of creator discussions where they reveal plans and things they considered when making games etc. So learning a little bit more from Aonuma about the series is always interesting to me. I recall hearing about the missing dungeons from Wind Waker many years ago and I think it is a shame that we will not be getting them in the new HD version. I was a little interested in that bit at the end where they talked about the possibility of Link and Zelda within a modern setting. I do like that they are considering extra content in later games as well. That always does a lot to extend the replay value of any game and of course I always want to see a little more in every Zelda title.
