【Interview】Reflecting on 15 Years of Zelda Development with Nintendo
Dec. 16th, 2025 04:33 pmSo, Monolith Soft Twitter account has just published an interview on their website about their relationship with Nintendo and their involvement in Zelda game development. At first, I only wanted to write my impressions, but then I realized this could become lost media in the future. So I decided to archive it, just in case they omit or delete this interview—similar to how the Takahashi interview with Iwata was removed from Nintendo’s website.
I have copy-pasted the original Japanese text in case anyone wants to read it. I have also included a translation with the help of DeepL and other translation tools. Because of this, the translation is not fully accurate, and I strongly encourage people to consult someone who understands Japanese for a more accurate translation. This is only a tentative translation for those who want a general idea of what was discussed, as well as for my own curiosity and self-indulgence, lol. Please do not take the translation at face value, and I would prefer that it not be cited. Feel free to comment if there's any mistake!
I am also archiving the website via the Wayback Machine (screenshots and web archive included).
