Eiji Aonuma: Since you play as Zelda in this game, it would feel weird if the character's expression didn’t match her situation at the beginning of the story. She must have been confused as she wondered what she should do. When she saw the wanted posters with her face, she probably thought, "But I'm a princess…"

Famitsu: That's a good point.

Aonuma: We put a lot of effort into adjusting the details of Zelda's eyes and other small aspects of her design. As the story progresses, you'll notice that Zelda's expression changes. At first she doesn't smile, no matter what happens. In the second half of the game, however, she smiles whenever she helps the people of various regions. Zelda has embraced her destiny when the king gives her the Royal Traveling Attire, and her face has an expression of "Okay, let's do it!" after that scene. We were always discussing how to convey these types of subtle changes as we worked on Zelda's design.

SEGA President is considering remakes of older Sonic titles in new Famitsu interview

In a new interview for Japanese Gaming Magazine Famitsu, Sega President and Chief Operations Officer Yukio Sugino adressed the strenght of the Sonic brand, and an interest in expanding it further with "reboots and remakes".

When questioned about the trend of making reboots and remakes of beloved titles, Sugino expressed interest in pursuing this path for some SEGA titles, specially its' mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog. He expressed that while making new titles and adventures for the franchise will keep being pursued, the idea of remaking previous titles could help to expand the brand.

"Of course, we have to do new things, but as with all IPs, we can have new works or reboots", explained Sugino. "Sonic' is also SEGA's signature IP, and in parallel with new games [for the series], we are considering reboots and remakes."

Sugino also expressed to be extremely satisfied with how the Sonic brand perfomed in the year of 2022, and hopes to keep the momentum going. The 2022 live-action movie was mentioned, and he also commented that Sonic Frontiers sold above expectations for the title, and that a lot of North American fans have shared messages about their approval of the newest main game.
