And congratulations as well to all the other nominated games.” Fujibayashi: “I’m really happy that I ended up making games. You know, there was a lot of challenges. You know, it was a big adventure making this game. But I think all of those challenges and that adventure are what really helped the staff, and it came out in the game you saw. On behalf of all the staff who worked on the game, let me once again say, ‘Thank you so much.'” Aonuma: “I want to take all of the joy and warmth I’m feeling right now receiving this award and put that back into continuing to make Zelda games and continuing to try to surprise all of you. So please look forward to that. Thank you!”
