He is a senior officer within their Nintendo EPD division and serves as the producer of The Legend of Zelda franchise.
Aonuma was born as Eiji Onozuka (小野塚 英二) on March 16, 1963, in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
He asked his girlfriend about video games, and she introduced him to two Yuji Horii games, Dragon Quest (1986) on the Famicom and The Portopia Serial Murder Case (1983) on the PC-8801, which were the first video games he ever played.
He graduated from the Tokyo University of the Arts in 1988 with a master's degree in composition design, working on animated puppets called karakuri.
After graduating, he was interviewed at Nintendo.
Aonuma met Shigeru Miyamoto during the interview, and showed Miyamoto samples of his college work.
He landed a job at Nintendo without ever having played a video game before.
His first projects involved graphic design, creating sprites for Nintendo Entertainment System games such as 1991's NES Open Tournament Golf.

He was a lead designer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and its sequel The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Following work on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, he considered moving on to other projects but was convinced by Miyamoto to continue with the series.
Aonuma has since led the production of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Link's Crossbow Training, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom.
