The following is a interview with Shigeru Miyamoto interviewed by San Jose Mercury News,#

Miyamoto on how appealing to the hardcore and casual gamer played into the design of Zelda: Skyward Sword…

“To appeal to both is an idealistic thing. We are always trying to achieve that goal, but the fact of the matter is the ‘Legend of Zelda’ franchise is known for its rather sophisticated game controls.

“With ‘Skyward Sword’ we tried to make it simpler. You can control the movement of Link much more intuitively. I don’t know if I can say this is the perfect game for casual players, but I think we have come up with something attractive enough even for those players who have never played these sophisticated action games to understand their real attraction.”
