Aonuma clarifies Skyrim comments
In an interview with USGamer, Zelda Series Director Eiji Aonuma puts context to previous statements he made about his appreciation for Skyrim. An excerpt from the interview:
I just wanted to say, I’ve been a bit surprised by the focus on my comments about Skyrim…but there was no inspiration taken from Skyrim. It didn’t impact what I was thinking about for future Zelda titles. I’m always thinking about, “Okay, next time, what are we going to do with the next one?” As a producer, whenever I can find more time to play games, I’m taking that free time to go out and play other games just to play them and see what’s out there.
I don’t know about you but I’m rather relieved. Skyrim is fantastic: but simply taking ideas from other series doesn’t equal innovation. I have no doubt Mr. Aonuma can bring us a fresh Zelda experience with his own ideas. He hasn’t let me down yet. [❤]
