Paris – He has been behind some of Nintendo’s biggest hits, but producer Eiji Aonuma still feels “nervous” as he awaits players’ reactions to the new “Zelda” video game, “Ocarina of Time.“
“I’m all nervous about releasing the remake of ’Ocarina’ because I don’t know how it’s going to turn out, I can’t stop thinking about it,” says the 63-year-old Japanese creator, one of the most respected figures in video games today.
For more than 25 years, Aonuma has steered the series, which many people consider includes some of the best video games ever made.
