Hyrule, lakes, mountains, plains and forests, are an invitation to travel, exploration, like a wild cry that the player to leave everything to lose in this mythical land invites. This was achieved the goal perfectly, the great Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the biggest company Nintendo. Child, our man was from his native Kyoto forest, often in search of lost treasure God knows what fascinated daring. It is the memory of the girl who inspired the idea of Zelda a revolutionary adventure game repeatedly copied, but never equaled, would lead to a prosperous line emotions. From the beginning, Miyamoto hire the services of his companion, the composer Koji Kondo, who is now inextricably created many memorable and themes of the series. It is this series that will talk in the next few months in this retrospective, especially, but a little more than Zelda to see.
The Legend of Zelda series has a complex mythology that is to be revealed by small touches throughout the episodes. The birth of Hyrule, for example, is the work of the three goddesses: Din (Goddess of Power), Farore (Courage) and Nayru (Wisdom), who placed his creation under the supreme authority of the sacred element called Triforce, current account, but also the object of desire for his immense power. (Traditionally associated with Zelda) Triforce of Wisdom, Courage (Link) and Force (Ganon): After the catastrophic events, the Triforce is split into three fragments. Legend has it that every time Hyrule is threatened, seems a hero of the same line in order to protect the royal family, the holder of the Triforce. Traditionally, it takes the name of the hero Link. Princesses of the royal family all call Zelda and with honor, your sister takes the name of Impa. With these keys in hand, we understand that it will be difficult to establish a historical continuity between the various episodes of the saga.
But we constantly experience the same legendary adventure, distorted by the stories that give successive generations? Some on the basis of the disturbing similarities between different components have long thought. However, the founding myths of Hyrule are constantly in use and Nintendo recently published a timeline of the saga in the wonderful book that is Hyrule Hystoria. Therefore know that Skyward Sword is the prologue of the entire series, and three lines tense in Ocarina Of Time. Though official this chronology is not please everyone and some people still do their own idea of the saga.
This heroic and pure search (Link saves Zelda sense of duty, not out of sentimental reasons) takes place in a world whose complexity increases with time. Eiji Aonuma Stimulated including closely associated with Ocarina Of Time and Miyamoto, who is the torch as director of the saga of Majora's Mask, released new races. We have learned that the Hylian, the original inhabitants of Hyrule, lives as diverse as Zora (fine aquatic life), the Kokiri (Wood Elves), the Goron (strong troglodytes), the Gerudo (a race of thieves what with humanoid races in the loss of Ganondorf) and many others. In Majora's Mask, as amended Aonuma Saga (more adult tone, atmosphere and springs apocalyptic dream) and the luxury of placing the player in the shoes of the great unknown, as other races of Hyrule significantly deepening "background" saga.
In Zelda 3 is introduced, the two worlds (light / dark), whose interest in terms of gameplay is well established, find echoes of history by the time paradoxes, changes in the size, condition or universe that is familiar. Zelda is a specialty under Fans referenced against the foot of Zelda 2. their side and to a shift in RPG system remains a unique example in the history of the series. During the transition to 3D, the creators of swimming against the current, to opt for an automatic jump to the canon of the genre. Stronger, while all are expecting a realistic Zelda for GameCube (with the Twilligth princess will happen), Aonuma design surprises with a kids, cartoon and expressive and raised an outcry and suspicion that once the game is less pay. Breeding with love for Nintendo, Zelda is definitely an unusual story, determined more than ever for a great future.
Thanks for reading, I say that in two weeks with The Legend of Zelda on NES.
Seidish.
