The legendary Zelda producer, Eiji Aonuma, has had fairly the 12 months — when you think about the launch of Tears of the Kingdom and all — however 2023 simply retains getting larger for the top of the collection, as he has now been named a ‘Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters’ by the French Minister of Tradition.
In response to French web site Le Figaro, no date has been set for the presentation simply but, however quickly sufficient, Aonuma can be becoming a member of his Nintendo teammate Shigeru Miyamoto as a recipient of the title. Does this imply that the blokes behind Zelda are technically real-life knights? Sure, it does. Does that imply that they will carry swords? Uhhh, no.
That is, in fact, a unbelievable achievement and a well-deserved one at that. Eiji Aonuma labored as a director on the likes of Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Masks, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, and has served because the collection producer for over 10 years now. When you think about the recognition of Zelda, particularly for the time being, that is fairly the CV.
And so, we would wish to want Mr Aonuma an enormous congratulations! Having a few knights on the prime of Nintendo, now that is a reasonably cool declare…
