![PEOPLE:
- Hiromasa Shikata. Field Designer responsible for Clock Town & Romani Ranch in Majora’s Mask.
QUOTE:
Shikata: Organizing all the various parts of [Clocktown in Majora’s Mask] while managing the size was difficult. We created a complicated area so players would feel uneasy and uncomfortable, like they are in a strange town in a foreign country, carrying the sense of uncertainty that comes with that sort of situation.
However, “I don't understand it at all” and “I played for a whole day, but I still don't know what to do” among others were many of the opinions that we kept hearing, so we continued to adjust.
Now I think getting lost is a positive part of the game.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreidhloucyjgrnsdhxzpkgm5ktnxvdbmvtrp2pazdt2zorffdy5ju2m@jpeg)

![PEOPLE:
- Yoshiaki Koizumi, age 39. Writer for A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 55. Producer of A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.
QUOTE:
Koizumi: Back then, the people who wrote the manuals often became the people who came up with most of the backstory for the entire game. The first real game work that I did was on Link's Awakening. … I came in to write the manual, as I did on [A Link to the Past]. But they had nothing in place. So I ended up making an entire story to go along with the game. The dream, the island, that was all mine.
And so that was my first experience doing the kind of work that we would now call "event design." But there were not too many people at the time with expertise in that area, so I really had free reign to do what I wanted, so long as I didn't make Miyamoto angry.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiem756yyt7h4v2qxlq24h4bnk3nfjvkdubdpr2aqfhrhxlu6npiky@jpeg)

QUOTE:
Aonuma: I’ll be looking for anything [in the A Link to the Past manga] that might serve as a hint for me in the Zelda game I’m developing right now [Twilight Princess]!
Nagano: I’m happy to hear that our manga can be helpful in providing ideas to the people at Nintendo. We have a strong desire to participate in the creation of The Legend of Zelda material.
Aonuma: You truly are helping us. When our staff members get tired of working, they read your manga! [laugh] The manga serve as a great reference when pulling the story together.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreibnlicetuvsesygt3xmeuswclru4oiwwizw66x4lgmmx64mytambm@jpeg)
