PEOPLE: - Kensuke Tanabe, age 55. Producer of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers. Writer for A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening. QUOTE: Tsuda: The post-apocalyptic world [of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers] is definitely harsh, but what I want players to see is not really how merciless the world can be, but instead how bright and full of life the characters are who inhabit it. I think the cute and fun animals provide a good counter-balance to the look of the world. … The Mad Max movies are my favorites set in this kind of world. My goal was to set up Dillon and Russ as a shining beacon of hope to everyone with their strength to keep on living in a ruined world.

PEOPLE: - Kensuke Tanabe, age 55. Producer of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers. Writer for A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening. - Jun Tsuda. Director of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers, Freshly-PIcked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland, and Ripened Tingle’s Balloon Trip of Love. QUOTE: "Tanabe: We had some discussion and came up with the setting and the main character [of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers] through the association of Rolling → Armadillo → Texas → Western, and Vanpool also liked that idea. And so a new IP, ‘Dillon’, was born. Tsuda: We don’t have armadillos in Japan, so the staff and I did some research about their habitat and were a little disappointed when we found out that they just dig holes and eat grubs and worms. Still, the thought of making an animal like that seem cool sounded fun, and that motivated us to put some polish on Dillon’s claws and shell."
