'Zelda' director wants to better 'OOT'

Eiji Aonuma has said he will continue directing The Legend Of Zelda series until Ocarina Of Time has been bettered.

Aonuma, who was handpicked by creator Shigeru Miyamoto as director for the series, said later sequels have yet to surpass the Nintendo 64 game.

"Ocarina Of Time was the first title I worked on, and I was continuously tackling challenges every day during its development, so I think this is the title I feel I impacted the most," he told Nintendo Everything.

"I'm happy that a title I worked on some time ago remains highly praised to this day, but that also shows how none of the subsequent games in the series have surpassed it."

He added: "As someone who is still working on the series, I have mixed feelings about that. Because I haven't yet surpassed it, I can't quit. Surprisingly, that simple motivation may be the reason I continue to work on the Zelda series."

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time has been ranked the best game of all time on both aggregate sites Metacritic and Gamerankings.
