The Legend of Santa was created by
Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka in
1986 the idea for the game was inspired
by me emotes adventures as a child as a
young boy he spent most of his days
exploring the countryside surrounding
his home and one day he found a large
cave in the middle of the woods he went
back to his house acquired a lantern
enough the building of the courage to do
so he ventured into the cave Miyamoto
said the sense of excitement and Wonder
he felt that day was something he wanted
to recreate in a video game and thus The
Legend of Zelda was born why Selda why
isn't the franchise called simply The
Adventures of link like the subtitle of
the second installment I mean there's a
reason why so many people confuse this
guy for being celled after all this
screen dude is the most iconic thing
about the games well when the first game
was released in Japan in 1986 it was
actually titled the Hyrule fantasy with
Legend of Zelda being a subtitle it
seems like a much more fitting title
doesn't it the games are a lot more
about exploring the world of Hyrule than
about Zelda but for the North American
release the game was for unknown reasons
renamed to simply The Legend of Zelda in
ever since it's been in the title of
every selva game it's dangerous to go
alone is at least one of the most
memorable quotes in gaming history which
makes it even more surprising that this
scene almost didn't make it into the
game early in development of the first
cell die game players would actually
begin with a sword in hand
however when intend to test the game
before release most players complained
that the game was too confusing and that
they kept getting lost rather than
fixing the game and Miyamoto insisted on
making the game even more complex and
confusing including starting the player
off without enemies to defend themselves
his logic was that making
Selvam more confusing with force kids to
share information with their friends and
foster a sense of community around the
game and seeing as we're still talking
about it I'd say it worked movies based
on video games usually aren't that well
received
still we continue to wish and hope that
someone will make a good movie about our
favorite franchise and Silva is no
exception
while there have been unconfirmed rumors
about the live-action seldom movie for
decades now a leaked video from 2007
reveals that ammaji Studios pitched idea
of an animated movie to Nintendo however
seeing as the movie never got made we
can only assume that Nintendo was afraid
of this happening again
early in development Miyamoto plan for
the first game to also take place in the
future and when I say the future I mean
a very futuristic high-tech sci-fi type
future this is also why link is named
Link he was supposed to serve as a link
between the past and the future Miyamoto
has also stated that his green clothes
and overall design were inspired by
Disney's version of Peter Pan and the
similarities are awfully similar except
for the hair color they look almost
exactly the same
neither of them age or have any parents
and both of them have a flying a magical
companion with wings the noises that you
choose make in the Wind Waker is
actually a sped up clip of two men
arguing in Japanese while working on
ocarina of time it may amount to had
idea of making the game in a
first-person perspective the camera
would only go into a third-person mode
when confronting an enemy however
directors Yoshiaki Koizumi who also
designed the 3d model for link disliked
the ID and wanted link to be visible at
all times
he along with others managed to convince
me
most of this and thus the third person
was chosen instead but if you're still
curious what the game would look like in
first person as well as on the oculus
rift the modding community got you
covered in fact you can even play the
original The Legend of Zelda yes the
top-down 2d game in 3d first-person in
the Legend of Zelda the first five
dungeons of the second quest spell out
the name Zelda on a similar note the
third dungeon in the first quest looks
like this but it's not what you think in
Japanese this is a symbol of good
fortune called mangie it's also facing
the other direction compared to the Nazi
symbol the most iconic Zelda theme of
them all this one
almost never happened in the beginning
Nintendo plan on using a famous
orchestral piece titled bolero however
at the last minute they realized that
the song was still copyrighted and thus
composer koji kondo had to write a new
theme song for the game and he did it in
one single day for many years in fact
many decades fans have wondered and
theorized about the timeline of events
in the games was every release just a
sequel a continuation of a larger story
or maybe some installments where
prequels or maybe even completely
separate games with little or no
connection to the rest the events in the
game certainly spoke for the latter it
couldn't be one continuous story just
didn't make any sense that way
in the meantime Nintendo repeatedly
stated that there was indeed an
encompassing timeline explaining the
connection between all the games but
they never revealed it that is until
2011 when intend to release the book
Hyrule historia for the first time the
story or stories behind the Legend of
Zelda was explained the recent fans had
been unable to crack the code so to
speak it was because there wasn't one
simple timeline instead after the events
in ocarina of time the timeline is split
into three it would take too long to go
through all of it but let's run down
some of the major events the story of
The Legend of Zelda begins with Skyward
Sword in the game Lincoln Cell
established the kingdom of Hyrule which
laid the foundation for the rest of the
franchise later on the events of the
Minish Cap and Four Swords took place
now we reach the game that complicated
everything Ocarina of Time near the end
of the game there's a final battle
between link and Ganon if you play the
game you know that Ganon is defeated we
are the hero who saved the princess
zelda and the kingdom of hyrule now
according to Nintendo and Hyrule
historia there's also a timeline in
which link is actually defeated during
the fight
battle with Ganon Ganon goes on to
acquired a Triforce and a war soon
breaks out this creates the first time
line called the decline of Hyrule it's
basically the dark or evil version of
the story the other two timelines were
created at the very end of the game when
cell descends link back in time so
there's one timeline for the link it was
sent back in time and one for the link
to stay behind there simply referred to
as the child and adult linked timeline
not confusing at all
