An old interview has shed new light on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s origins for me, thanks to comments made by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto over three decades ago. Miyamoto has maintained a constant presence in the development of new Zelda games, including serving as a General Producer for BOTW. As a result, it is unsurprising that he has given many interviews regarding the franchise over the years, although it seems that some of the most interesting are also among the most obscure.
