Igarashi talks more about the Zelda influence on Castlevania, proud of the Metroidvania moniker
Coming from Koji Igarashi...
"We really wanted to extend the life of the game and the one game that popped up in our heads was Legend of Zelda, an exploration-filled action game. Pretty much our entire team, including myself, were huge fans of the game, and we wanted to make something very similar. So now you know the origin of inspiration actually wasn't Metroid.
I like the (Metroidvania) name and I respect it and I like the meaning behind it. It fits very well, so I'm actually kind of honored that Metroid, the name, is attached to Castlevania, and that it morphed into this one word, so I like it very much."
Thanks to Dan for the heads up!
