It is commonly asserted that Shigeru Miyamoto's hobby of gardening served as the inspiration for creating the original game.

The series focuses on exploring unknown worlds and using the titular creatures to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles and enemies. A common theme in the series is scale, using the game world to convey that the player characters are tiny in size compared to the rest of the world.
