Noma: I think that even the low-level strategy elements of the genre, the unit tweaking and the battling, are quite a lot of fun, but to me, the true joy of “strategy RPG” as a genre comes from sprinkling in those broader RPG elements. As you recruit an army full of colorful characters and empathize with their individual stories and personalities, that experience in turn enriches the tweaking-and-battling side of [Unicorn Overlord]. The two genres complement each other particularly well.
That's also part of the reason we allowed players to select just about any character as a partner to take with them to the final battle. We wanted each player to feel like they were getting a special story written just for them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreihuq5f2vnz3wx7keay4h2x6jqky4z6m5tzhsexdsmqlduwnueyl7i)

Wornell: It was November of ‘98 when I transitioned from being an AP over to design. … I was doing the layout work, the manual packaging work for Ocarina. …
Q: The game was released in North America on Nov. 23rd. Were you working on the manual just weeks before?
Wornell: [Thinks] It must have been, because I remember working on the Illustrator layouts for the Ocarina of Time manual. Now the package may have been done, but I do remember working on the layout for the manual. …
We had the production facility in North Bend [WA], if I remember. And I want to say a lot of the— unless I'm thinking of GameCube, but, I mean, God. I definitely remember working on manual design for Zelda in November of ‘98.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreihdbu57pzkyebcaau3s53dusedzmzvjmeiui4yocpdw5iopn5yd5e)
