Home > Eiji Aonuma on The Wind Waker HD Message in a Bottle Concept
During Tuesdays media event I was able to speak with Eiji Aonuma briefly. The topic of choice was The Wind Waker HD and he was nice enough to provide a good answer. Check out what was said after the break.
For those unaware of what the "Message in a Bottle" is that is being talked about - it is a new feature in The Wind Waker HD where players get to interact with one another by sending them a message in a bottle using Miiverse. When you post the message on Miiverse - a bottle will wash up on shore in the other players game, where they will be able to pick it up and read it. The event was really noisy so it may be hard to hear the audio in the video. A transcript has been included below for those that can not hear or understand what was said.
Austin: Where did the message in a bottle concept come from? What gave you that idea?
Aonuma: I think people are aware of the message in a bottle concept but that concept really worked well when the environment is the sea. So, it was something that I thought was natural and it really made sense as a communication device.
