After growing angry with both the messenger's disrespect and finding him making out with his wife, Leonidas kicks him into a pit. Despite Traitoro's advice that the messenger's guards are now needed to convey the actual message, Leonidas kicks them in as well, along with Britney Spears (Nicole Parker) and Kevin Federline, Sanjaya Malakar, Ryan Seacrest, and the American Idol judges.

my best friend was dead set on getting us to watch it
I don't know how he talked us into it, but he got three of us into the theater with him, and he spent the entire movie laughing uproariously at every single thing that happened, slapping his knees and repeating dialogue and explaining every joke
the only time he stopped was when one of the rest of us laughed, which only happened a few times, but every time, he'd grin at whoever laughed like "I can't believe you laughed at this piece of poo poo you fuckin idiot"

—From what I've seen, players have been really divided over Link's inability to jump.

Miyamoto: I thought if we added jumping, it would be one-too-many gameplay elements. And it would be frustrating if you were in the middle of a dungeon and had to make some pixel-perfect jump to progress. If we really tried to make that mechanic fun, it would have turned Ocarina into a completely different game.

We're sort of asking players to trust the developers when they make those jumps, and so we didn't include player control for the jumps.

—Is this also a "Zelda" characteristic?

Miyamoto: Hmm, no, there was a different intention there.

I hate to say things like "the history of games" because it sounds so pretentious, but when you look at those games that have done something truly and historically new, they are the games which gave the world a new "etiquette" of basic movement and action.

I'm very aware of the fact that I am the first person to create what we call "jump games". And as the creator of jump games, the one thing I can't let someone else change is the whole jump action! If someone is going to change the grammar of "jumping", it has to be me. In Ocarina of Time, you no longer have to press a jump button to cross ledges, for instance.

We wrote data for each terrain location, and that data determines what kind of jump Link will perform. Honestly, this is not only a new "grammar" for jumping, it also signals a whole new range of possibilities for 3D interactivity. It's kind of like having a bunch of miniature "movies" that you can interact with, to put it simply, but having all that encoded into the terrain data is the new part. For example, when Link approaches a cliff's edge, the camera swivels upwards and allows you to peer down into the chasm. Or when you cross a bridge on horseback, the camera switches to a cinematic side-view. In this way, we're not interrupting the gameplay with lengthy cutscene movies, but attaching the movies to the character's own movements. If we push forward with this "grammar" I think we'll be able to do weirder and more interesting things too.

—So normal actions, like simply walking around, can now be imbued with a cinematic flair...?

Miyamoto: Yes, and yet it doesn't interfere with the gameplay. That's the problem with movies, if you add too many, they can confuse the players sense of direction, and actually make the game harder to play. To avoid that, you've got to have the right know-how and sense, and building that intuition up is going to be key for us in the coming years. In doing so we're going to create a whole new grammar of interactivity. It's a range of possibilities that do not exist in movies, I believe.

There's people out there who think "games are inferior to movies", but the new frontier is interactivity, so rather than fighting over winners and losers in the here-and-now, I say let's enjoy working constructively towards that new future.

I still remember the story about him playing an early version of Metroid Prime, disliking the controls and just perfectly laying out exactly how the movement needs to be.
