Quick quotes: Aonuma "never actually finished" original Legend of Zelda
"I’ve never actually finished [Legend of Zelda]. I almost feel like there’s still no game more difficult than it. Every time I try to play it I end up getting 'Game Over' a few too many times and giving up partway through. Certainly after playing the original Zelda for the first time, I didn’t ever think that I wanted to make a game like that." - Zelda boss Eiji Aonuma, speaking to Game Informer as part of its Zelda cover feature.
