Takizawa: Volvagia [in Ocarina] is a dragon, so it wriggles and undulates. I only gave Morita-san the dragon model parts, but he set it in motion immediately. It was mysterious how he could do that. I couldn't help but ask how he did it. He said it was the same as the programming for Star Fox 64. There's this scene when another fighter aircraft is tailing Arwing and…
Iwata: … Oh, that? That's right! It's the same! … The way the fighter moves as it flies and Volvagia's movements are exactly the same.
Morita: I could do it easily by switching in the dragon for the fighter.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreigfuqp7u6tp2gp6nffvmbs5c76ihfm7zux23lve3tiiene5shkhva@jpeg)

Haruhana: It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that playing this title [A Link to the Past] was what got me into the world of gaming and set the course of my life.
Takizawa: It’s the same for me, in that A Link to the Past was what inspired me to try my hand at Nintendo’s employment examination. It was truly sensational.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreigyxv3ylba6laxakxkmcou6tsk4tl2c5nikhloclkwwv5da5pybmu@jpeg)
