    I sared working on he rs Legend o Zelda projecwih a smal l sa in a corner o Ninendos developmenoce in Kyoo. I was he mideighies, and he Famicom[Editors note: Famicom is the Japanese name for the Nintendo

    Entertainment System or NES] console had been ou orabou wo years. A ha ime I was working on a Super

    Mario Bros. compilaion or he Famicom, bu he DiskSysem [Ediors noe: Te Disk Sysem was a peripheral or

    he Famicom ha was no released in he Unied Saes]wasabou o come ou, and we needed o develop a launchile or i.I hough ha we should ake advanage o he DiskSysems abiliy o rewrie daa by making a game haallowed wo players o creae dungeons and hen exploreeach ohers creaions. We designed ha game, and he

    overall response was ha playing hrough he dungeonswas he bes par. We made a one-player game wi hdungeons under mounains ha surrounded DeahMounain, bu we couldn shake ha I wan o playaboveground, oo! eeling, so we added oress and lakes,and evenually Hyrule Field.

    O course, he ile o he game wasn decided righ a

    he beginning. I knew I waned i o be Te Legendosomehing, bu I had a hard ime guring ou wha hasomehing was going o be. Tas when he PR plannersaid, Why don you make a sorybook or his game?

    On the 25th

    Anniversary of

    The Legend of Zelda

    Shigeu Miamoo, senio execuive diecoo Ninendo Copoaion and geneal poduceo he Legen Zel seies

    He suggesed an illusraed sory where Link rescues aprincess who is a imeless beauy wih classic appeal, andmenioned, Teres a amous American auhor whosewies name is Zelda. How abou giving ha name o heeernal beauy? I couldn really ge behind he book idea,

    bu I really liked he name Zelda. I asked him i I could use

    i, and he said ha would be ne. And has where he ile

    Te Legend o Zelda was born.

    We named he proagonis Link because he connecspeople ogeher. He was supposed o spread he scateredenergy o he world hrough he ages. Te old emale

    soryeller who eeds inormaion o Zelda is named Impa;

    her name comes rom he word impart. Impa, Link, andZelda were he guardians o he riorce. oday, when you

    hink o characers who are conneced o he riorce,you hink o Link, Zelda, and Ganon, bu ha sared inOcarina o ime. Originally Ganon was only a villain inrelenless pursui o he riorce.

    So, weny-ve years have passed, and we have made a looZelda iles. In he beginning, Link was jus a bunch opixelaed dos, and now he is a hero who appears earless,capable o realisic and ree movemen. Ganon has urned

    ino a powerul archvillain, and Zelda, an incrediblybeauiul woman.

    Wih beter hardware come richer and more elaboraeproducion values. However, I eared ha he game playmigh come o rely on, and ride solely upon, he beneso improved echnology. Te mos imporan aspecso a game are he game sysem, he acion, he sensory

    experience, he creaiviy, he producion values, andhe perormances. Wih each generaion he producion

    values evolve, bu in cerai n respecs my involvemenhas been ha o a guardian, o ensure ha game playdoesn suer.

    And in respec o game play elemens, I eel ha SkywardSword, he mos recen game, which came ou a heurning poin o he weny-fh anniversary, is very wellbalanced. Over hese weny-ve years we have come upwih new iems, changed he way many iems are used,made Link s conrols more comorable or solving puzzles,

    and adaped o, and improved, new conrollers. We haveeven designed he conrollers hemselves wih he Zeldagames in mind, and I eel he Wii MoionPlus and heNunchuck are ideal or Skyward Sword.

    Te year 2011 was also he hirieh anniversary oDonkeyKong, where my lie in video game design all sar ed. Ivebeen involved in counless iles hese pas hiry years, bu

    Te Legend o Zelda is he only game series where a playercan inpu his or her own name. I said he name Link camerom his role as a connecor, bu Link is you, he player. Te

    series has been so successul because he player mus solve

    puzzles and deea ough enemies in order o ulimaely

    save he world. I am so hankul his has allowed us olink wih players all around he globe.

    Even hough Ganon is deeaed ime and ime agai n, heis evil incarnae and will come back ime and ime again,wih a vengeance. Each ime, when he world is blankeedin evil, a young boy and girl will be born. Links advenures

    will go on or as long as you coninue o love his world.Wih new hardware will come new games in his ser ies,

    and I emphaically ask you o please give hem a sho.
