PEOPLE: - Kensuke Tanabe, age 55. Producer of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers. Writer for A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening. - Jun Tsuda. Director of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers, Freshly-PIcked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland, and Ripened Tingle’s Balloon Trip of Love. QUOTE: "Tanabe: We had some discussion and came up with the setting and the main character [of Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers] through the association of Rolling → Armadillo → Texas → Western, and Vanpool also liked that idea. And so a new IP, ‘Dillon’, was born. Tsuda: We don’t have armadillos in Japan, so the staff and I did some research about their habitat and were a little disappointed when we found out that they just dig holes and eat grubs and worms. Still, the thought of making an animal like that seem cool sounded fun, and that motivated us to put some polish on Dillon’s claws and shell."
