- Like?
- Link was named "Link" to convey the meaning of someone who connects. The idea was of a character that would cross time and link the energy spread around the world.
- Link is meant to represent the player.
- Impa's name came from the verb “to impart.”
- Impa, Link and Zelda were the original "three guardians of the Triforce.” The Triforce relationship nowadays is between Link, Zelda and Ganon, but that was established in Ocarina of Time; the first Ganon was a villain looking for the Triforce.
- Miyamoto fears that, with increasing production values, the most important parts of gaming will be neglected.
- He believes what matters in a videogame is the game system, the action, the sensations, the creativity, and the production values.
- He's been watching over the Zelda series like a guard to ensure the series goes in the right direction.
- As long as players are still interested in Zelda, new games will continue to be born.
