Nintendo Hosting Q&A’s With Tears of the Kingdom Developers
Posted on June 13 2023 by Rod Lloyd
Nintendo of America’s official Twitter account recently launched a series of short Q&A videos featuring Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and Tears of the Kingdom director Hidemaro Fujibayashi to promote the latest Zelda game.
The series’ debut Q&A video, dropped last week, saw Aonuma and Fujibayashi discussing the motivations behind Tears of the Kingdom‘s Fuse and Ultrahand abilities. The game director explained that the developers “wanted players to try their hand at being able to freely create whatever comes to mind by combining versatile items in a vast field.”
