The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Producer Eiji Aonuma Has Beaten The Game 20 Times
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom producer Eiji Aonuma has beaten the new game 20 times, and claimed that he is still discovering new stuff.
In a new interview published by Nintendo (via IGN), Aonuma advised that the game is more fun when you take frequent detours. Aonuma wanted to dissuade players from rushing to the ending, instead taking the time to explore side-paths. He said, “When testing the game, I sometimes needed to rush ahead to clear the story, but later on, as I started to go off on side paths, I realized…it’s a whole different game!”
He emphasized that the fusion abilities are key to this sense of discovery. Aonuma stated, “Even when sticking things together, there are so many different combinations that even I don’t know all of them. I even discovered something new the other day while shooting the gameplay demonstration video.”
