- Eiji Aonuma, age 54. Producer of Breath of the Wild.
QUOTE:
Aonuma: I heard that Minecraft allows the player to create things freely. So I asked my son whether it was true, and his answer was, ‘I only get to make a house or something like that.’ [laughs]
The biggest plus of Minecraft is that it is open to everybody. When you start, you would say ‘Wow, this is really simple.’ Then it gets complicated as you play along. As you go on, you want to try new things as well and you get absorbed. My son was very happy when he obtained the ‘Red Stone’ and he tries different things as he realizes there are things that he can do on his own.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreidz7vzcdi74kk5abgc3idp7qhbtathp7v7aee45vua5x7lyvghtcm)
