Throughout the interview, the trio go on to discuss designing Zelda's outfit — which is actually a holdover from when the game was developed with Link in mind (and he's wearing a hood in that first trailer, don't forget) — as well as consideration for the story.

Nintendo at one point toyed with the idea of letting players design their own dungeons in the new Zelda game.

You probably haven't heard of Tomomi Sano before, but the Nintendo employee just broke a big barrier for The Legend of Zelda series. She is now the first female director for the franchise after helping to helm The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which comes out in mere days.

The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom arrives this week! And the team broke down what it was like coming up with the game's premise!

According to Nintendo and Grezzo, there was once a version of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom that let you make your own dungeons.

New tricks and a classic style give Nintendo's latest Zelda a more casual, puzzly feel. And finally, Zelda's the star.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom didn't start out its development as one might expect, with a very different direction initially planned for the title.

It might not have a level editor of its own, but The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom started with an idea that was a lot like Mario Maker. On Monday, Nintendo published part one of its “Ask the Developer” series with long-time Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and game directors Tomomi Sano and Satoshi Terada.
