Season 12 Bonus 2

This week we’re going to be talking about how Zelda dungeons are made. This episode is to use a February 2015 article from Kotaku as a jumping off point. Steven Totilo asked Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma directly about how Zelda Dungeons were designed. He gave some general answers, and I will try to supplement his answers with some additional information from other interviews with the developers of the Zelda series.

Correction: It turns out the ZR button still functions as a secondary action button despite what all on screen prompting, and in-game text that refers only to the A button. 

We’ve completed the main quest of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and this week I’m going to go into more detail on the differences between the Original Release of Twilight Princess, and Twilight Princess HD. I’ve touched on some of the changes throughout the episodes, but I hope to give a more complete look at the changes made and provide my thoughts on the different versions as well.
