{{Interview/A|EA|My favorite is [[Eagus]], the Knight Commander at the [[Sparring Hall]]. I actually wrote all of his dialogue myself. My grandfather used to teach kendo (a Japanese sword art) at the police academy, so I studied kendo when I was a small child. The Knight Commander acts a little self-important, but in a way, I feel like it's me who's speaking through him. (I also wrote the dialogue for the [[Hero's Shade]] who teaches Link the [[Hidden Skills|hidden skills]] in Twilight Princess.) If anyone out there is having trouble with their sword technique, please go to the Sparring Hall and pay him a visit!}} | {{Interview/A|EA|My favorite is [[Eagus]], the Knight Commander at the [[Sparring Hall]].

{{Interview/A|EA|That's a difficult question to answer. We started development of Skyward Sword determined to confront all of the conventions of the Zelda series that we take for granted, and I think that led to a lot of them being transformed into something more challenging, in the sense that they won't be what longtime Zelda fans are expecting. Now, we didn't make such decisions lightly; they came from a painstaking process of distilling years of feedback from fans and the opinions of experienced Zelda-team members who felt that certain aspects of the series needed to be reformed. Considering all that, I think it's really meaningful that we were able to complete this game when we did, on the [[25th Anniversary|25th anniversary]] of the Zelda series.}} | {{Interview/A|EA|That's a difficult question to answer.
