The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Trivia

---

• Creator Backlash: Zelda Director Eiji Aonuma feels he did not make Twilight Princess as epic and grand a game as he intended. He said that he regrets making Hyrule a realistic, grand size, saying that with that size, they were unable to fully take advantage of the space that they created. He has said he plans to use that grand scale as a starting point in the development of Skyward Sword.
  • Shigeru Miyamoto has also voiced his regrets for Twilight Princess, as he says it was "missing something."
• Fan Nickname: So, this Link is the "Hero of Twilight/the Gods/Light," right? He must be, because three of the numerous other Links throughout the series had similar titles ^[1].
• What Could Have Been: Koji Kondo planned on there being more music done with a live orchestra, presumably the same amount that Super Mario Galaxy ended up having. He had to put such plans aside because he ran into problems with Variable Mix among other things.
  • Mahito Yokota also composed one other orchestral piece aside from that used in the trailer. This one never made it into the final game.
  • Sheik's design in Brawl was based off of conceptual plans for Twilight Princess.
  • The Twilight Realm was originally going to be a Deliberately Monochrome world.

1. ↑ He's referred to as the "Blue-Eyed Beast" in-game, but that hasn't really caught on because it's specific to his wolf form
