- Naoki Mori. Cinema Scene Director for Ocarina of Time.
QUOTE:
Aonuma: Some people are still playing it, so I can't be too specific, but in the last scene [of Ocarina of Time], [Mori] just couldn't settle on an expression for [Zelda’s] face.
Mori: Yes, that's right.
Aonuma: Did you eventually find something that satisfied you?
Mori: That was for the Nintendo 64 system, so there were hardware limitations to what we could express. I asked about adding one more expression for eyes, but they said it was impossible. I proceeded with what was available, but it just didn't look right to me. I ended up frustrated to the very end.
Aonuma: Ever since, Mori-san has wanted Zelda to have more vivid facial expressions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreih5g4bo4pekxfc3wc2u4k4skgymdu4xiktos7muzlndlr5fhn4aki@jpeg)

- Satoru Takizawa, age 46. Breath of the Wild Art Director.
QUOTE:
Q: When [Breath of the Wild’s] Princess Zelda was first revealed to the public, there was a lot of talk about her thick eyebrows.
Takizawa: That was really surprising. I didn't expect it to become such a hot topic. The eyebrows are thicker than usual because it makes it easier to give her facial expressions. Princess Zelda has a lot of emotional expression this time around, so I think the design suits her well.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreihrmcnvywgftsxrxmuyj5kvz2lcm3eyizm4hdgnse6uqnk6hs55sy@jpeg)
