Q: Was the development team [of the CD-i Zelda titles] big fans of the prior two Zelda games?
DeSharone: People really liked the games. But, I think we had more of a lyrical storytelling desire or inclination. I think we were probably more focused on story, and that may have also had something to do with the CD-i platform itself.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreideqvawa6ozxgr7gyxf3hlls7eshetx4sri2khpdtxy2jx36rl4wu)

Belcher: I remember that Nintendo had final approval rights over the product, and they did see and approve all the [CD-i] Zelda games, but I don't think they were ultimately that interested. I think they thought of CD-i as some little niche product that they could safely ignore.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiegnxdqyd5q3lk2l62ajsd3ppj2ucggrypevf7u77upky3d3zsk5y)
