PEOPLE: - Hidemaro Fujibayashi, age 45. Director of Breath of the Wild. - Yu Shimamura, age 32. Japanese voice actor for Zelda in Breath of the Wild. QUOTE: Fujibayashi: The voice actor for Princess Zelda said she could feel the weight of one hundred years when she played. She was playing as Link from Breath of the Wild's present but had already performed as Zelda from one hundred years prior to that. She was experiencing the game differently from the average player, who would find out about the past from the perspective of the present. She was playing in the game's present from the perspective of someone who was informed about the past. We had paid particular attention to the flow of time, so it was fascinating to be able to ask the only person in the world who played the game from that particular perspective what it was like.

PEOPLE: - Takayuki Shimamura. Director of Wii Sports Resort. - Satoru Iwata, age 49. President of Nintendo. - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 56. Creator of Zelda, General Producer of Wii Sports Resort. QUOTE: "Iwata: By the way, why did you decide to include golf in Wii Sports Resort? Shimamura: Well, after Miyamoto-san got back from E3 in 2008... Miyamoto: Really? Is that right? All: [laughter] Shimamura: Right after getting back to Japan, he suddenly said: ‘You know we're including golf now.’ Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form! [laughs] Iwata: It's a trick he often uses! [laughs] Miyamoto: That's right. I block off the escape route."
