Resident Evil Requiem director says Zelda II inspired Revelations' shield enemy

Resident Evil Requiem is coming to Switch 2, and director Koshi Nakanishi used the moment to underline his Nintendo roots. Speaking in a Creator's Voice video on the Nintendo YouTube channel, Nakanishi said: "Of course, I played the original Legend of Zelda game, but I really loved the Zelda II: The Adventure of Link game.

It's more challenging, but I loved it." He explained that while making Resident Evil Revelations there was an enemy called a Scarmiglione who carried a shield and moved it up and down when aimed at, and "the truth is, this enemy was inspired by the armored soldier from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link." Zelda II is often seen as a black sheep for trading the series' top-down adventuring for side-scrolling dungeons and tougher combat, and Nakanishi admitted he played it obsessively: "This is the first time I've said that.
