Former Capcom producer Yoshiki Okamoto threatened Shigeru Miyamoto with releasing an "identical game with different characters" if Nintendo did not allow his team to develop a remake of the original Legend of Zelda for Game Boy Color. This threat led to negotiations, ultimately resulting in the development of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages by Capcom's Flagship team.
