On the 25th
A nniversary of
The Legend of Zelda
Shigeru Miyamoto, senior executive director
of Nintendo Corporation and general producer
of the
Legend of Zelda
series
I started working on the irst
Legend of Zelda
project
with a small staf in a corner of Nintendo’s development
oice in Kyoto. It was the mideighties, and the Famicom
[Editor’s note: Famicom is the Japanese name for the Nintendo
Entertainment System or NES]
console had been out for
about two years. At that time I was working on a
Super
Mario Bros.
compilation for the Famicom, but the Disk
System
[Editor’s note: he Disk System was a peripheral for
the Famicom that was not released in the United States]
was
about to come out, and we needed to develop a launch
title for it.
I thought that we should take advantage of the Disk
System’s ability to rewrite data by making a game that
allowed two players to create dungeons and then explore
each other’s creations. We designed that game, and the
overall response was that playing through the dungeons
was the best part. We made a one-player game with
dungeons under mountains that surrounded Death
Mountain, but we couldn’t shake that “I want to play
aboveground, too!” feeling, so we added forests and lakes,
and eventually Hyrule Field.
Of course, the title of the game wasn’t decided right at
the beginning. I knew I wanted it to be
he Legend
of
something, but I had a hard time iguring out what that
“something” was going to be. hat’s when the PR planner
said, “W hy don’t you make a storybook for this game?”
He suggested an illustrated story where Link rescues a
princess who is a timeless beauty with classic appeal, and
mentioned, “here’s a famous A merican author whose
wife’s name is Zelda. How about giving that name to the
eternal beauty?” I couldn’t really get behind the book idea,
but I really liked the name Zelda. I asked him if I could use
it, and he said that would be ine. And that’s where the title
he Legend of Zelda
was born.
We named the protagonist Link because he connects
people together. He was supposed to spread the scatered
energy of the world through the ages. he old female
storyteller who feeds information to Zelda is named Impa;
