GDC 2007: lectures from Nintendo's Aonuma and Kondo

As the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2007 is drawing ever so near now, the organizers have confirmed the appearance of two new speakers for the event. Both of them hail from the Nintendo empire and have been mainstays in the industry.

Eiji Aonuma will be giving a lecture on the Zelda franchise. He's been able to work on the series ever since Ocarina of Time, and after directing Twilight Princess, the mastermind will now be giving a talk entitled "Reflections of Zelda". He'll be discussing how the development team was able to propel Link through the epic journeys he's been through, across the different Nintendo platforms.

From director to composer, we now go to Koji Kondo. He's the brains (and sounds) behind Mario and Zelda music. His lecture is called "Painting an Interactive Musical Landscape" and will be talking about his method of composing interactive music. Given how viral the music of Zelda and Mario have become, it's going to be an interesting to know where he finds the inspiration for all that.
