Aonuma: At first, when Hayashi-san approached me [about Hyrule Warriors], he wanted to make this title closer to a Zelda game than a Dynasty Warriors game—that extended to having boss battles in the dungeons and certain characters in the game.
However, Mr. Miyamoto came along and up-ended the tea table, saying, “No, that should not be the case. What we’re doing here is grafting Zelda onto the Dynasty Warriors experience.” It was a reversal of the original proposal from Hayashi-san, which was adding elements of Dynasty Warriors onto the Zelda franchise. It ended up being the other way around based on Miyamoto’s direction.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreibu757wd67pvksiraofrirnvdudcokfchjfehjj54yjyv4tezuriq)

Q: You happened to be playing a Musou game when Koei Tecmo approached you [about making Hyrule Warriors]. Did that affect how you approached the game you were playing at the time?
Aonuma: At the time I was playing a Musou collaboration game called One Piece: Pirate Warrior. In this game, you are fighting a battle where there are many bases on the battlefield, and you have to figure out what order you take the bases in—and also the timing in which certain things occur. This is not something that had been in previous Zelda games, and so it was a very exciting idea for me to connect with.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreib5agj4d2kaxofbix2fv3cv5eokbtaue55tvnrhdpwuixney7gtqm)

"Q: Where does Hyrule Warriors fit within the Zelda timeline?
Hayashi: People speak about the Zelda Timeline and this is definitely separate from that.
Aonuma: [Laughs]
Hayashi: Even more than a spin-off, we consider Hyrule Warriors a celebration title to celebrate the Zelda franchise. We as developers are not only developing the game, we’re also fans of the series and think of this as the official Zelda fan game.
