The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds grants Link the ability to turn himself into a flat painting and therefore stick to walls. This skill is used to good effect in the forthcoming 3DS epic, allowing the player to solve puzzles and reach new areas.
During the recent New York Comic Con, Zelda series head Eiji Aonuma decided to use this new talent to escape the clutches of Nintendo of America representatives, who presumably felt he was bunking off work.
The video below was posted on the eShop and uploaded by Nintendo Everything, and — as you might have gathered by now — is pretty light-hearted in tone. It's nice to see that so many of Nintendo's key staff have a sense of humour.

Still doesn't beat Hideo Kojima's guest appearance in Mega64.
haha what a guy
Shame we won't get a promotional Between Worlds swapnote from him
This and the Luigi free running viral should be used as TV Adverts.
Lol awesome
Really pretty cool one of the top executites in nintendo has a sense of humour. I mean could you imagine Jack Tretton pretending to be a Helghast? I think not
Haha that was pretty entertaining
Awesome, and that overworld theme is amazing too!
anyone else notice how at the end, it is the same spot where they confirmed the limited edition Zelda 3DS XL
That was so awesome!
Now thats the side of Nintendo I like to see, not even the upper brass are afraid to goof around and act silly.
Looks like this was fun for them to make! On a side note, I would hate running around in a suit like that!
Reminds me of that Starfox 64 VHS Nintendo Power did.

@Marshi
I could picture Tretton as Droopy Dog. So emotionless and boring.
But yes, only Nintendo execs do this kind of things. The nice thing of being a "kiddie" company
@SMW haha! Was just about to link exactly the same thing! The goons are so similar!
that was amazing. everyone at nintendo should have a power, and someone should make a game where you can play as nintendo staff trying to escape Comic-Con goons.
So much what.
Aonuma's recent video appearances have revealed that is secretly one hilarious little man.
Hahahaha....!! That is so hiliarious! I wish I could see some more vids like this.
Cool video Also there was a promo swapnote a few weeks ago before the whole thing got shut down sadly. Hopefully it'll return soon. Loved the video and fun of it all!
That made me smile.
HAHAHA good stuff
Ha ha! I love how Nintendo can sometimes be so playful and silly whereas most companies try to be stuffy and professional!
I wish they would have had Reggie chasing him though. That would have been hilarious!
Hahaha!!! That is sooo funny! Nice work Mr. Aonuma!😃
THAT... THAT is freakin' SWEET. Reminds me of the whacky old-school Nintendo commercials from back in the day. They did an amazing job with this.
Silly but sweet, those are quite possibly the least intimadating antagonists of all time though.
Only at Nintendo XD
Hahaha this is co cool! It's awesome that one of the most talented developers such as Aonuma-san has a great sense of humor.
that was awesome!!
D: HE FLIMED THE LATER HALF RIGHT BY WHERE I LIVE IM HAPPY BUT UPSET THAT I MISSED HIM ;-;
I think it is serious that he tries to escape his obligations at Comic Con by using these Zelda tricks. Any reprimands?
I've needed the wall-merging ability so many times in the past, to evade bosses... And to sneak up on slackers as a boss myself!
Lol!
Well if that ain't awesome! Love it!
I felt like I was watching a Mega64 video
That was fun. Exactly how videos should be made.
