{{Interview/A|Aonuma|It's interesting -- because we're doing this with Nintendo 3DS as well -- when we look at new hardware platforms and consult with software teams, we ask "what are you guys looking for, what do you want?" And everyone who comes and talks to me says, "Hey, if we're going to put Zelda on this platform, what would you like to do?" I always have to be thinking about, OK, Zelda. Zelda. And then more Zelda. It's all I'm able to think about, because I know all those questions will be coming to me and I have to prepare some answers. So if I ever wanted to do anything away from Zelda or outside of the Zelda universe, I think really what I'd have to do is take something like a year-long sabbatical, leave the company and go somewhere else. Otherwise I'm just trapped in the Zelda cage.}}

{{Interview/A|Aonuma|Well, I can't really say that, because I do. I sit and think about stuff that has nothing to do with Link or Zelda, and I'll start writing down the ideas I have and start doing some character designs, and then before I know it I'll look at those character designs that I've set off to the side and they somehow make their way into Zelda.}}
