You can find an excerpt from our interview with Shikata below. His very first video game job was on Ocarina of Time, he directed A Link Between Worlds, and was assistant directer on Twilight Princess. Shikata has been involved with the Zelda series for a long time. We asked about Princess Zelda's involvement and tried to find out where the game lands in the Zelda timeline.
