QUOTE: Kondo: Aonuma-san was thinking about events for the twenty-fifth anniversary and suggested a concert for The Legend of Zelda. … Yokota: In fact, I've actually been saying I want to hold a Legend of Zelda concert ever since I joined the company. I kept getting turned down, but it finally becomes a reality on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary. Kondo-san, you've also been saying for some time that you want to do an orchestral concert, haven't you? Kondo: Yeah. Yokota: They said it wasn't our ‘main business’! [laughs]

PEOPLE: - Koji Kondo, age 49. Ocarina of Time Composer. - Mahito Yokota, age 37. Ocarina of Time 3D Orchestration Director. QUOTE: Kondo: As I was playing the Nintendo 3DS version [of Ocarina of Time], there were several [tracks] that struck me as well-done. Although, it's a little embarrassing to say so myself! [laughs] One plays when you go to Zelda's castle and hide in the garden so the guards can't find you. I forgot the title, though. Yokota: That's ’The Courtyard Game at Hyrule Castle.’ Kondo: It sounds like a game of hide-and-seek. It represents that feeling of final relief you get when you're able to hide from the guards by carefully making stealthy steps. I thought, ‘I did a pretty good job!’ [laughs]

PEOPLE: - Mahito Yokota, age 37. Composer for Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time 3D, and Skyward Sword. - Koji Kondo, age 49. Original Zelda composer, composer of numerous Zelda titles. - Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: "Iwata: Compared to Kondo-san, you may not have worked on development of The Legend of Zelda that long, but you've been playing it forever, right? Yokota: You can say that again! Talking about it could take forever! [laughs} I love The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time beyond all reason! I have, of course, played all the Zelda games since the first one, and played them all the way through, but Ocarina of Time was an eye-opening experience to how great video game music can be. I played song after song on the piano."
