As the release date of Nintendo's masterpiece The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom approaches, the game series has become very popular in the player community! The Legend of Zelda series has been around for 37 years and has accumulated more than two dozen titles, and although these products follow some worldviews and structures, the timelines and plots are very different, and except for some senior experts, I am afraid that no one can grasp all the details.
In addition, there are now many new players who have entered the pit from "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", so they are even less aware of some "black history" and "cold knowledge" that existed before the "The Legend of Zelda" series. The doctor has recently briefly summarized some of the trivia in the series and talked to you. Since personal knowledge is also limited, you are welcome to leave a message to correct and share what others do not know.
We all know: In The Legend of Zelda, Link is male and Zelda is female. In fact, there is a female version of Link in the series, that is, a character in "Zelda Matchless: Hailar All-Star", her name is "Linkle", which is both a female version of Link and a setting such as "Link's sister". Producer Eiji Aonuma once revealed that "Linkle" has a chance to appear in the canonical sequel in the future.
How was Link's image designed? Miyamoto Shigeru once mentioned that his elf ears and signature green clothes design concept actually comes from Peter Pan, the protagonist of the classic masterpiece "Peter Pan"; Its English name "Link" means connection, and Miyamoto hopes to connect the past and future of the game through the name; In the original "The Legend of Zelda", the developers originally gave Link a weapon directly, but Miyamoto Shigeru believes that players should not be allowed to easily obtain the first weapon, and he believes that increasing the difficulty of the game allows players to communicate and discuss with others, and thus form a game community. The concept is quite ahead of its time!
In terms of other characters, although Zelda will basically appear in the title of the game, the character of Zelda will not necessarily appear! "Ganon" and "Gaynendorf" refer to different meanings, the latter is the name of the human type, and because the triangular divine power or seal is not completely resurrected, the wild boar form that appears is the former title; Link used to have a dad and sister in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! These two characters appear in the official setting "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" Master's Book, which documents this unused concept design.
In terms of works, the black history work "The Legend of Zelda 2: Link's Adventure" in the minds of some fans is a side-scrolling gameplay, which is not "pure" enough, but its sales and evaluation are very good; The Wii version of "The Legend of Zelda: Dusk Princess" is "mirrored" with the WiiU version and GameCube version, mainly because the design is in line with the Wii's somatosensory operation; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the first 3D series in which many characters reference the faces of real people, such as Gainendorf, the image of the famous actor Christopher Lambert.
In other aspects, the doctor has introduced: the famous late actor Robin McLaurin Williams (Robin McLaurin Williams) is a big fan of "The Legend of Zelda", and at the suggestion of his eldest son, he directly named his daughter Zelda Rae Williams. Interestingly: Later, the father and daughter also endorsed "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D", which became a good story in the game circle. Do you know all of the above knowledge of the "The Legend of Zelda" series?
