Opinion was suddenly split; some saw fit to completely disregard the first interview and allow {{FS|-}} to occur elsewhere in the timeline, while others stuck by Aonuma's original words and kept {{FS|-}} pre-{{OoT|-}}. | ||
Further discussion was initiated by a much ignored interview<ref>[http://www.landofthelegend.net/Hyrule/?grab=int-z14-np-eahf]Hidemaro Fujibayashi of Capcom interview</ref>, by Nintendo Power with Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi of Capcom, who colaberated with the former in the creation of | Further discussion was initiated by a much ignored interview<ref>[http://www.landofthelegend.net/Hyrule/?grab=int-z14-np-eahf]Hidemaro Fujibayashi of Capcom interview</ref>, by Nintendo Power with Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi of Capcom, who colaberated with the former in the creation of {{FS|-}} and {{TMC}}. | ||

When Capcom took over the | When Capcom took over the {{FS|-}} series, this interview suggests that they "created a new Hyrule legend that said that a long time ago, evil Vaati brought crisis to Hyrule and people sealed that evil" and that they were taking off with the idea of the four sword saga. | ||
