Miiverse occasionally plays host to 'Miitings', essentially brief developer interviews that cover a recent release. It's been awhile since the last Miiting, so Nintendo decided to break the silence with one that covers the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Eiji Aonuma was the one being interviewed, and he gave plenty of interesting insights into the development of both the remake and the original release.
Among some of the more interesting details was the subject of amiibo. Aonuma said that they already had Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda amiibo from Smash Bros. and that they wanted to have a character that best represented Twilight Princess. Wolf Link was the obvious choice, though Aonuma did say that he personally liked the idea of doing a Telma amiibo. Another interesting thing covered was that scene at the end of the game with Zant's neck, and what it really meant. Amusingly enough, Aonuma said that the guy who made that cutscene was something of a loner, and that nobody else actually knows what it means either.
For the full Miiting, check it out here, there's lots of interesting trivia.

I can't even imagine beating a Darknut in TP without using lock on...
@Wendigo Let alone beating 3 at the same time in the cave of ordeals...
A Zant amiibo would have been cool, too. Oh so many amiibo ideas ... I shouldn't even get started on a topic like this one or I'll sit here writing nonsense for ten minutes or so.
I honestly didn't expect for the Zant scene to have no official explanation, lol.
@NinjaAceTrainer Or 4, for that matter.
@Yoshi I haven't got past 3...
I love that it was a dream that he had that was the inspiration for Wolf Link. I love that we as fans think there is a bigger meaning behind stuff like "the neck scene" when in reality even Nintendo doesn't know.
Having gotten stuck at the final phase of the Ganondorf battle, I never even knew about the neck scene until just now. That is...a strange scene.
For me that interview is full of lies.
Can't wait till Aonuma has moved on from having to talk up Twilight Princess
A Telma amiibo? I can get behind that. Zant or Agitha would have been neat, too.
OH MY GOSH! THAT WAS MY QUESTION!!!
Gotta love how the wolf is like "whoa bro put that down".
Oh, Aonuma and his big voluptuous women. XD
@NinjaAceTrainer @Wendigo I'm not gonna lie, I had difficulty for a couple try's beating those sillybilly Darknuts. Without lock on it'd take me a ton of try's. I probably would rage before I could get it
Twlight princess HD was really awesome, and gave me a nicer feel for replaying the game. I enjoyed it and although I wasn't so hyped when it was annouced, once I picked it up it was great. I just wish they would stop putting so much time into remakes and put more time into the new game. But it is what it is
@Yorumi sarcasm. great.
Aonuma has a "type", looks like.
...Am I the only one who imagines that the top Nintendo brass have a button in their room that they can use to order a custom amiibo on a whim?
Telma? I LOVE Telma! Make one please!!
