Speaking to Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Aonuma said the game is now “even more amazing.”
“Everyone has been imitating this (snaps fingers) (laughs). I was told by many people that it was “beautiful,” Aonuma said. “I thought about various ways to make the graphical style fit the vast new Zelda world; imitating the real world attached an important feeling of realism, and making it look different to the past [Zelda titles], this was done by drawing inspiration from Japanese animations. Now, compared to what we showed you at E3, it has become something even more amazing.
Aonuma also elaborated upon the enemy that was seen chasing Link in the E3 trailer, saying: “It’s an enemy which emits a laser while running, an enemy that moves with amazing speed; like this it can capture you while trying to escape on horseback, something not seen until now.
“In the Wii U version, we are trying to make people think “if an enemy like this comes out, how can I defeat it?” and we showed a glimpse of this at E3. After all, I am changing various elements, following the theme of “changing the Zelda conventions.”
Aonuma also revealed that the game would make an appearance at E3 2015, saying that more of its gameplay will be revealed during next year’s convention. A release date for the Wii U game has yet to be announced, though it is expected at some point in 2015.
