Nintendo Life interviewed the Hyrule Warriors development team, getting some enticing new information on the upcoming addition to the Zelda family! Make the jump to hear what they said!

When talking about the development cycle for Hyrule Warriors, we’ve known for a while that there were puzzles and dungeon like settings in the initial concept design. What we didn’t know was that it was none other than Shigeru Miyamoto who vetoed the entire concept.

I think, however, it is completely fair to extrapolate this to the entire fanbase. After all, for all the change we seem to demand time to time, the reality is that we seem most satisfied when a game delivers on what we feel a Zelda game is supposed to be. In many ways this is a good thing, but the hard part when dealing with this internally in trying to enact true change within the series itself…
