Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto has once again expressed interest in returning to A Link to the Past.
You may remember that, last year, Miyamoto discussed the possibility of bringing back the game in 3D. This time around he’s said that he would “be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past.”
Miyamoto told EDGE:
“I think the answer would be the same if we’re talking about just porting, but I think I’d be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past. I think it’s important to bring some really new software.”
Miyamoto was the producer when A Link to the Past was created back in 1991 and left a huge imprint on the title. That probably wouldn’t be the case again if Nintendo returned to the game. As such, Miyamoto would have to find the best director suited for the job:
“To be very honest and open, it really depends on the directors that have time at the moment as well. Some directors, I can give them the title and I know they will do something great with it.
“Other directors I’m not so 100 per cent confident [in], so they’re the ones I’d rather take a more remake approach to the title. It really depends on that as well.”
Miyamoto mentioned one director who he has great respect for: Koichi Kawamoto. Kawamoto has played a big role in the WarioWare series, made StreetPass Quest for the 3DS, and worked on The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
Regarding Kawamoto, Miyamoto said that he’s “a very strong figure [who] will play a very important role in the future.”
Last but not least, Miyamoto commented on the possibility of a new F-Zero game:
“I think at the time it was a really big surprise, a new thing, a product that made sense. I don’t see with current hardware how you could create a similar surprise.
“But maybe with future hardware, with Wii U coming up, maybe we could create something that does make sense, either as a smaller game, or a fully fledged title.”
