Miyamoto Gives Final Approval on Everything About A Link Between Worlds Development

·

While relatively hands-off, Miyamoto did more than say "yay" or "nay" to things, as he gave the team very specific feedback that influenced the direction of the project. According to Tominaga, Miyamoto was the one who suggested making the game a sequel in the first place. " [Miyamoto] didn't just criticise, he also gave us a hint," Tominaga recalled. "He suggested basing it on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."
