Zelda Turns 20

Postby Silverhaze on Tue Feb 21, 2006 5:41 pm

Twenty years ago this week — February 21, 1986 — thousands of Japanese gamers played The Legend of Zelda for the first time, and their perspective on gaming was forever changed. Here was a huge world, a massive quest, an open-ended odyssey that demanded exploration. When we Americans first placed that golden cartridge in our Nintendo Entertainment Systems a few months later, we learned what our friends overseas had already discovered: Zelda was addictive. It was adventurous. It was ambitious. It was amazing.


20 Years! I can’t believe it. Anybody remember playing thos gold coloured cartridges?

I think those may have been the first games ever had that you could save your game on the cartridge. Ah, the memories…

Actually I lied. Ive never ever even played a Zelda game for more than about 20 seconds. But wow, I was 9 years and 1 day old when Zelda first hit the shelves. :shock:

Zelda on the SNES was brilliant. I think I've played through it about 5 or six times.
God gave me everything I want!
