Eiji?

How come there's no picture of Eiji Aonuma in this article? --168.212.252.30 16:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed?

I though the overall reception of The Wind Waker was very good. --Twicemost (talk) 21:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it was. I guess that part was based on the personal opinion of whoever wrote it. Edited it out. --Link Floyd (talk) 20:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roles

I was just curious about whether we have any sources for the roles in his gameography. Do you know, Dissident93? Thanks. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 03:02, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Smuckola: The sources for his roles in various games should simply come from the staff rolls of the games listed, unless I'm misunderstanding. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 03:07, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dissident93: Ok cool, but do we know if they actually do? I mean you're saying you're totally sure in your edits, so you've personally verified it? Or there's a web site for Zelda 2015? We can directly use {{cite video game}}. And then those citations could be reused in a lot of other articles. Just checking. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 03:12, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Smuckola: For the roles/games I have personally added, yes. For Zelda 2015, I'm pretty sure one of the Nintendo Direct/E3 videos credited him as "Producer". I'll try to find the video now. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 03:24, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marionettes

Aonuma made karakuri puppets, not marionettes, at the Tokyo University of the Arts. In the Japanese source, Aonuma clearly states in an interview that he made karakuri puppets. The fact that he made karakuri puppets is well known among Japanese video game fans. The reason the English source says marionettes is probably due to a discrepancy in the translation.--SLIMHANNYA (talk) 16:46, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
