A picture is worth a thousand words. My works try to prove it.

It's mostly #legendofzelda with some others sprinkled in.

The exception, sort of, is this serial. It updates each Saturday.

I hope to be published in a zine someday, but otherwise? It's about making readers and artists happy.

New* article!

A history of Ocarina of Time's development, with a specific focus on the new game design problems presented by 3D, and how they solved them.

*I wrote this a few years ago for a magazine. I figure it's been long enough, so on my blog now!

Aonuma on being thankful for fans that look for deeper meanings, 2013.

PEOPLE: - Eiji Aonuma, age 50. Franchise Producer of the Zelda series. QUOTE: Aonuma: From the perspective of others, we may be obsessed with details, but in reality we aren’t really like that. … That’s why the psychology of our fans can be funny at times. They look for deeper meanings in things. “How does it fit into the timeline?” and so on. But we want some flexibility outside of that setting. But since this is a series, we tied ourselves to certain things. I’m thankful for having fans that will go that far. I even want to make games for the people who say “This wasn’t the Zelda I was expecting.”

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Late 20s: Man it takes me a while to recover from drinking all night, guess I'm feeling my age.

Early 30s: Oh crap, slept wrong. Guess my neck is gonna hurt for the day.

Cleaning the text, folds, & damage off of this boardgame map is... going to be... a bit of work.

The giant horizontal crease across the whole thing, right on the map line, is special kind of art-patching nightmare.

It's a gorgeous #zelda map though so totally worth it: archive.org/details/merc...

Annette is just like me fr.
Comic Part 1/4 - a group of witches is huddled around a teacher showing them how to collect mandrake. The teacher pulls one out, explaining that mandrakes scream and cry when you pull them for their comfortable soil bed, causing a student called Annette to react by saying "it's just like me for real." The teacher then tells Annette to stop relating to potion ingredients. Comic Part 2/4 - a group of witches is huddled around a teacher showing them how to collect mandrake.

Before uncovering Zelda's last memory, Link encounters Tenne, an NPC at the South Akkala Stable. She sings about the Dream Home, which catches Link's attention. She then tells him about it, expressing hope that both him and her will get one and live with their partners in it. Then Link ponders the idea of buying the Dream Home for himself and Zelda, wondering if that will surprise her and make her happy once he'll manage to bring her back.

Kondo & Miyamoto on re-using short musical phrases in NES music, 2025.

PEOPLE: - Koji Kondo, age 64. Composer for The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros.. - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 72. Producer and Director for The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros.. QUOTE: Kondo: The Famicom has little memory, so I remember thinking about reducing the size as much as possible for the music. It was hard work. For example, I thought that if I created a single group of phrases as a block, I could use that over and over again. By repeating that process, I think I ended up with a melody that stuck in players’ memories. Miyamoto: In the end, the player will hear those repetitions over and over, even though there are individual differences. … Because I myself started out by developing arcade games, the idea of people walking down the street hearing the music and sound effects coming from the arcade and immediately recognizing it was important.

The thirst for lore is so incredibly strong. AoI is proof of this, and that's a fine thing.

And yet, Zelda is such an artistic, meaningful series (to me) because of everything left unsaid. We experience its beauty because we get to fill the picture.

do you wish to have a future zelda game all about goddess hylia taking place during her time or would you rather have her remain ambiguous? 🍁

Miyamoto on how exercise helps him calm his game design thoughts, 1998.

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 45. Creator of Zelda and Mario. Producer of Nintendo EAD’s Software Development Department. QUOTE: Interviewer: When you’re exercising, is that when your game ideas bubble up? Do you have an “Aha!” moment? Miyamoto: Hmm, I’d say it's actually the opposite. I exercise to empty my mind, and forget the thoughts that I’ve been stewing over. Once I start making a game however, that’s all I can think about. I start obsessing over the finest details, things like “I set that at 8 but maybe it’s better set at 7.5”. If I don’t get these ideas down right away, I feel sick and then the ideas get frozen and stuck in my head. In short, it's a balance between concentration and disseminating those ideas. In my case, swimming is effective in facilitating that.
