PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 38. Producer of The Legend of Zelda (1986), Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, & F-Zero. - Kazunobu Shimizu, age 27. Designer (Artist) of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Director of F-Zero. QUOTE: "Q: [Why wasn’t F-Zero] a traditional F1 racing game? Miyamoto: Well, that was really down to the director’s tastes. [laughs] There’s also the fact that not having to draw and animate tires made it so much easier to create. The cornering in F-Zero is a little different from cars in the real world. Also, if we had drawn tires on the cars, when you drift, we’d have wanted to show all four wheels, which wasn’t very feasible. … Up to now, I think most racing games have been somewhat restricted by the tires. In F-Zero, the way we were able to easily show the distinction between the direction the car is moving and the direction the car is facing, is all thanks to the cars not having tires."
