I was asked during an interview if I could make a game using a Nintendo character, what would I like to make. I really love The Legend of Zelda so I answered that if I could make The Adventure of Link I would be really happy. That story kind of blew up, but it wasn\u2019t really something I was thinking about from a business perspective that I would like to make it, but simply that if I could make a game using Nintendo characters that it would be The Adventures of Link. And I still think that! But our company and I don\u2019t really think it is realistic that we could make a game using Nintendo characters. But if after a long time such a miracle could happen, that would be really great! But we think it is unlikely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked if Zelda was the only series that Aizu would like to work on, he added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Well, it is The Legend of Zelda that I really love, right from when it first came out on the Famicom Disk System. I don\u2019t think there are any Nintendo characters I\u2019d like to work on other than that. Of course, Nintendo has loads of appealing characters, and plenty that you could make games with, that\u2019s really great. I sort of let it be known that I love The Adventures of Link; there are plenty of other great games, but that is my favourite.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be running the full interview \u2013 which was conducted at Inti Creates&#8217; offices in Ichikawa City \u2013 later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short time ago, Inti Creates boss Takuya Aizu was asked in an interview if he would like to make a game featuring a Nintendo character.
