{{Interview/A|Aonuma|Since I began working on The Legend of Zelda, what has moved me the most came from a certain fan letter. This letter was from the mother of an elementary school girl, who was hospitalized due to an illness, and she gave her daughter ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' so she could play it while rehabilitating.<br><br>At first, she felt "this is impossible for me," but over time, she began getting the hang of it. Then one day, she told her mother, "if [[Link]] is trying this hard, then I will, too!" as she put more effort into her rehabilitation. And before they knew it, she was back to her healthy self.<br><br>After reading the letter, I thought about how Link is someone who is being controlled by the player, but there's also a little something he was able to give back over time [in this case, courage to the little girl].<br><br>To think that one could put in more effort after watching Link to do the same, and that such a positive way of thinking arose from the game, is something that makes me very happy.<br><br>It's not that we purposely intend that while making games, but the key lies within what the players get to experience in the world.<br><br>However, I believe that The Legend of Zelda is a game that can possibly bring out such feelings, and if you could start expecting that from now on, it"d bring me great pleasure!}}
