Friendly reminder not to engage with anyone implying Shigesato Ito had any involvement in the development of a Zelda game. This ham-fisted false narrative is being pushed by an individual who wants to create “lore” where there is none. This is absurd for the following reasons:

1. In this interview https://www.glitterberri.com/developer-interviews/miyamoto-horii-discussion Shigeru Miyamoto mentions that he’s worked with Shigesato Itoi on the story of “games”. Note that Japanese has no plural and he’s likely just referring to Mother, as this interview took place in 1989. He goes on to state that “The stories of Mario and Zelda titles have always been supplemental to the actual gameplay.” Does this also imply that Itoi worked on the story of a Mario game? Of course not. Miyamoto is essentially name-dropping his friendship with a prolific writer and pop culture figure to another industry friend. It is not explicitly stated what the two collaborared on. (But it’s obviously Mother)

2. Shigesato Itoi was an incredibly successful writer of several best selling books. The notion that he would not only write the very minimal story and dialog of a Zelda game, but that it would be scrapped and no credit or acknowledgement of his involvement would be made, is an utterly moronic idea. Someone of Itoi’s notability would clearly be used in the marketing of the game, and his ideas used in every aspect of the game design, as in the case of Mother. He would certainly be credited for his work, whether used or unsused as well.

3. Zelda A Link to the Past already has a script credit: Kensuke Tanabe. At the time, a member of R&D4 who had worked on several Mario games, he would be the likely choice to produce the script for a Zelda game, not a best selling author and copywriter.

Thank you for your time and I hope this puts that nonsense to bed. Please don’t spread gay cancer any further.
