New Majora's Mask developer interview. Learn more about the making of your favorite Zelda game! Includes a hint to when we might see the next title released for the Wii U.

"When it comes to Zelda, we’re always trying to advance the series by making each installment a step up from the one before. That means a 2 year development period is the norm. That being said, we usually start out with a small number of staff who spend a year experimenting with new ideas, so it comes to about 3 years in total. Plus, if we’re developing for new hardware, we spend another year studying its capabilities." - Miyamoto
