Blast From the Past – Link’s Awakening Developer Secrets
Posted on May 21 2011 by Nathanial Rumphol-Janc
Blast From the Past, a weekly feature exploring exclusive never-before-seen content from all your favorite games!
This weekend we dive into the churning waters of Link’s Awakening with two freshly-translated developer interviews, one conducted after the release of the original game and one from after the release of the DX version. Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, Totakeke, and other LA staff members discuss the surprising relationship between Tarin and Marin, the secret meaning of “Bucket Mouse”, hidden developer cameos, the television show that inspired them, and more!
Do you think Tarin and Marin are father and daughter? It never says that in the game. Most importantly, Marin calls Tarin by name. Could she actually be a little gold digger…?
