PEOPLE:

Shun Moriya. Ocarina of Time 3D Programmer.

Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo.

QUOTE: Moriya: Take the scene in which you set a spiderweb on fire [in Ocarina of Time’s Deku Tree]. Lots of people, including me, have Link roll forward or swing his torch to light it, but some people use how the tip of the torch lowers when he is holding the shield. So when I heard that the fire wouldn't light [in the 3DS remake], I thought, “Uh-oh…this isn't gonna be easy.” [laughs]

Iwata: The ways to solve that are stuck in the players' memories, so you have to recreate those, too.

Moriya: When I looked into why the tip of the torch wouldn't light the fire, I realized that Link's arms and legs were longer and his waist higher, since we had designed him a little more to today's styles.
