Interesting. Must be where the dude in the toilet from Majora's Mask is inspired from.

Last question: In a couple of different Zelda games, theres a mysterious hand that appears thats never really explained. In Skyward Sword, the hand appears in a toilet. Can you explain to me what that hand is?
In the original Legend of Zelda game, a gigantic hand appears and grabs you at the entrance to a dungeon. Actually, that has nothing to do with Skyward Sword. [Laughs] Its actually something from a Japanese ghost story. Not a specific ghost story. There are some ghost stories in Japan where when you are sitting in the bathroom in the traditional style of the Japanese toilet a hand is actually starting to grab you from beneath. Its a very scary story.
