Nintendo has not considered "Zelda Maker", has a hard time imagining Zelda in VR, but not totally opposed to it

GN Version 5.0

Coming from a GameReactor interview with Eiji Aonuma...

GR: Could there be a Zelda Maker, like Mario Maker, even if the universe is much bigger and would obviously be more difficult to produce?

EA: Would you like it?

GR: Not really, because I wouldn't leave the house for a long time.

EA: Well, I'll keep it in mind that there are people who could appreciate that then! But this is not something we considered. But be reassured, you will have the exclusivity if we ever decided to go through with it [laughs]...

GR: Can you imagine Link's adventures in VR? You/Nintendo don't seem too excited by the idea...

EA: Let me tell you something. When we did Twilight Princess, we did first-person trials. And I absolutely did not like it, it did not look like Zelda as I conceived it, nor as you must conceive it yourself as a fan of the saga. And from that point on, we thought we had to be able to see Link, whether it was during the fighting or the exploration. For us, this is the very essence of Zelda. For the moment I have a hard time imagining a Zelda in VR so as you can probably imagine, this is not a priority nor a short-term project. But I'm not closing the door on that for the future.
