one of his most important tasks was creating Ganondorf and other enemies in the game ledgend of zelda: ocarina of time.
when designing one of the bosses for ocarina of time ; Twinrova, he said that it was the most dificult as the scenario the writer made the scenes with the characters funny, and he was afraid that he couldn't live up to that standard. but they liked the design and added it to the game. he also found that designing a cell shaded moblin was also hard to create
when he was asked to design the ganondorf for one of the ledgend of zelda games. his first idea was to make him like a twisted thief with a complex. but the design team didn't like this idea and wanted him to be a good guy at first. so Takizawa had to re design him. he had designed three forms for ganondorf.
