{{Interview/A|Iwata|Why did you subtitle it Daichi no Kiteki (Japanese meaning Train Whistle of the Wide World)"?}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Aonuma|That comes from Director Iwamoto's name. Abbreviate "Daichi no Kiteki", and you get "Daiki".}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Iwamoto|No, don't listen to him. That wasn't the reason. (laughs)}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Iwata|(laughs)}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Aonuma|We settled on the "Train Whistle" part very quickly. Of course it refers to the train's whistle, and then this game has one of The Legend of Zelda characteristic sound items in it, too.}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Iwamoto|Players can use a pan flute this time.}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Aonuma|Since that's the case, we considered using "Pan Flute of the (something)" as a subtitle, but it would have been a bit long. Besides, you can use the pan flute, but it isn't a main item. Then, if you say "train", "train whistle" follows automatically, and a pan flute is also a "whistle", so we thought it might work for both.}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Iwamoto|That's why we decided to use "Train Whistle", but we weren't sure what to do about the "something" in "Train Whistle of the (something)". That one gave us quite a headache.}} | |||
{{Interview/A|Aonuma|Then, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks was decided as the subtitle for the North American edition, before we'd found ours. "Spirit" means "soul", so we took that and tried "Train Whistle of the Soul". But that made it sound kind of creepy, possibly haunted (laughs). We were making a pleasant game about running a train across wide-open spaces, and we just didn't think it fit.}} | |||
<b>Iwamoto:</b> Finally, we asked for suggestions from the staff and wrote them all on a white board, and from those suggestions, we narrowed it down to "Train Whistle of the Wide World".<br><br> | <b>Iwamoto:</b> Finally, we asked for suggestions from the staff and wrote them all on a white board, and from those suggestions, we narrowed it down to "Train Whistle of the Wide World".<br><br> | ||

<b>Aonuma:</b> Well, you can't really call it a train any more, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't sound like a whistle. (laughs) Anyway, that's how much fun you can have with it, so we definitely want them to use tag mode. <br><br><br><br> | <b>Aonuma:</b> Well, you can't really call it a train any more, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't sound like a whistle.
