Aonuma: Don’t necessarily hire developers that are good at playing games

It seems The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma shares the same ideas as Shigeru Miyamoto when it comes to hiring developers.

In an IGN interview, he said he would rather work with someone that has a different skill, like climbing mountains or scuba diving:

Good gamer is not a requirement

I’m thinking probably very similar to Mr. Miyamoto and not necessarily do I want to work with someone that’s good at playing games. I would rather be with people maybe have an interest in climbing mountains or love scuba diving in the ocean. Just someone with a very different skill. And so maybe by having those skills we can incorporate them into our games.

What is a requirement then?

Regardless of whoever he chooses to work with, they should be able to speak Japanese:

I think that’s definitely something we think about. And I would love to work with a lot of variety of people with different backgrounds, just because, as I mentioned earlier, I would love to have all their different experiences. But one thing: If they can speak Japanese that would be good, because I can communicate with them.
