When I'm making video games today, I want people to be entertained. I am always thinking, How are people going to enjoy playing the games we are making today? And as long as I can enjoy something other people can enjoy it, too.

I don't think as a creator that I could create an experience that truly feels interactive if you don't have something to hold in your hand, if you don't have something like force feedback that you can feel from the controller.

When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.

Originally, I wanted a machine that would cost $100. My idea was to spend nothing on the console technology so all the money could be spent on improving the interface and software. If we hadn't used NAND flash memory and other pricey parts, we might have succeeded.

A great idea solves multiple problems at the same time.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.

This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.

I don't let Mario appear in just any kind of game. Mario could not appear in Zelda games. They are two distinct game worlds.

Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.

I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.

I could make Halo. It’s not that I couldn’t design that game. It’s just that I choose not to. One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.

All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?

Necessity is the mother of invention. I love solving things like that. Because there wasn't enough memory, thinking of an economical way to make the movements look right was like solving a puzzle, and I had a lot of fun.

I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.

I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.

As a kid, I was a big comic fan and I liked foreign comics as well.

Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.

Throughout the Zelda series I've always tried to make players feel like they are in a kind of miniature garden. So, this time also, my challenge was how to make people feel comfortable and sometimes very scared at the same time. That is the big challenge.
