Home > Link's Awakening Made Zelda 'fun' to Develop!
"I thought it was a tradition for working on a Zelda title for it to turn into a kind of exercise in suffering." - Satoru Iwata
"I remember it was fun working on it (Link's Awakening), and when it was over, I remember us talking to each other about how fun it was." - Takashi Tezuka
"I'm certain it was a breakthrough element in the series. If we had proceeded from A Link to the Past straight to Ocarina of Time without Link's Awakening in between, Ocarina would have been different." - Eiji Aonuma
