{{Interview/A|Iwata|I would guess that for all of you here today, this is the first project of this magnitude that you have worked on.

What we do have are the unbroken traditions from the very first "[[The Legend of Zelda | {{Interview/A|Oyama|Let's see...we are always discussing in the development team what it means for a game to be called a Zelda game, and I really think that there's no clear definition that is shared by everyone.
