Aonuma longs for Miyamoto's ultimate approval with each Legend of Zelda game
Coming from an ONM interview...
"I think that Miyamoto is the most important 'user for the Zelda games before their release. How he sees the games is a guide for us in terms of whether what we are making is any good, including whether it is right for Zelda, because users will be sure to judge them even more harshly after the release.
A long time ago I came up with the phrase 'upending the tea table' for him, but recently there haven't been any big upendings, so maybe that's proof that I've come closer to his vision. My dream is to have Miyamoto say to me, 'This is amazing. I couldn't make a game like this,' but there's still a long way to go. I will keep trying my best."
