PEOPLE: - Mahito Yokota, age 37. Composer for Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time 3D, and Skyward Sword. - Koji Kondo, age 49. Original Zelda composer, composer of numerous Zelda titles. - Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: Iwata: Compared to Kondo-san, you may not have worked on development of The Legend of Zelda that long, but you've been playing it forever, right? Yokota: You can say that again! Talking about it could take forever! [laughs] I love The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time beyond all reason! I have, of course, played all the Zelda games since the first one, and played them all the way through, but Ocarina of Time was an eye-opening experience to how great video game music can be. I played song after song on the piano.

PEOPLE: - Koji Kondo, age 29. Composer for Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. QUOTE: Kondo: I first wait for the game concept and image to be decided on, and for some actual in-game screenshots to be finished. I then start thinking about the music based on that. Normally, I try to write the main theme of the game first. With Super Mario Bros., though, I had a really hard time finding that theme, and the first thing I finished was actually the water level theme. I felt a waltz would be the right sound for an underwater level. That idea came to me in a flash of inspiration, but that’s an exception for me.

PEOPLE: - Koji Kondo, age 53. Composer for The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, & more.. QUOTE: Q: Is there any particular type of game you prefer creating music for? Kondo: Maybe for The Legend of Zelda. Because of the variety of the worlds and the landscapes that you encounter within the game, it allows me to imagine musical types that I’ve never heard before. I get to work with a lot of different genres to meet the variety of the worlds and landscapes I’m seeing within the game. So I really enjoy working on that franchise a lot.

PEOPLE: - Koji Kondo, age 53. Composer for Majora’s Mask. QUOTE: Kondo: When I saw the very first mask you see in Majora … it really brought to mind for me, for whatever reason, a type of Chinese opera. The kind where the performers wear masks and the music is all percussive, and there’s a lot of cymbals and bells and what not. Those two linked up when I first saw Majora’s artwork, and I thought a Chinese-influenced theme would be the way to go. Something else I remember is in the scene where the mayor is sitting and you have the two sides having a discussion. … You have the people on the left talking about something, and then the people on the right, and there’s this discussion back and forth. I had a lot of fun making the music feel like that argument so that you’d have music pouring in from the left speaker and then music coming in from the right speaker.
