Zelda Developer Was Stumped By New Zelda Game's Puzzles

Kotaku writes: The next Zelda won't be too easy for veteran players, the longtime head of the series' development at Nintendo, Eiji Aonuma, recently told Kotaku. Plus, the new DS adventure will cater to Nintendo fan's research-proven taste for independent women.

In a brief e-mail interview with Kotaku in advance of the release of next month's The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Aonuma explained that Link's latest adventure takes an unusual route to satisfying and challenging veteran gamers:

"One of our lead planners for the game is a programmer, so he has a different, more scientific or mathematical approach, so to say, to creating puzzles," he wrote to Kotaku. Aonuma is the producer on Spirit Tracks.

"Development team members, including [senior Nintendo developer] Mr. [Takashi] Tezuka and myself, actually got stuck in several places. So the dungeons and puzzles pose a different type of challenge than what we have utilized in previous games, and will certainly require longtime Zelda fans to approach each challenge differently.

great news. i like games that challenges the mind

ABizzel15257d ago

Good. I loved Twilight Princess, but it was too easy. A little challenge every now and then is welcomed.

CDbiggen5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

Sounds promising, looking forward to this game. TBH though, at times i found phantom hourglass's puzzles to be pretty hard XD

EvilTwin5257d ago

There were a couple spots in PH that got me stuck, but not to the point where I needed to go find a guide. Sounds like that might change for the new one...but I don't mind.

Quadrix5257d ago

Certain block puzzles and the Master Sword puzzle forced me to use a guide for Twilight Princess, much to my humiliation.

DigitalAnalog5257d ago

I'll rectify myself with this game.

Jamescagney5257d ago

I must admit I had to look for help on a few of the Zelda games. Mostly Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past. The only time I needed a guide with Twilight was fighting against Ganon.

Shnazzyone5257d ago

As long as the challenges are nothing like the "challenge" of that stupid central temple in phantom hourglass... then i'm happy.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS5h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins3h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia2h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
