The Legend of Zelda

It's been forty years since The Legend of Zelda arrived on the Famicom Disk System, and with the Ocarina of Time remake landing on Switch 2 in November, we're going back to where it started. Miyamoto's childhood caves, the dungeon crawler that grew an overworld, Koji Kondo rewriting the title theme overnight because of a copyright problem, and the phone line Nintendo had to staff because nobody could work out where to go. Plus a small, polite disagreement with the Guinness Book of World Records. Join us, Player One — it's dangerous to go alone.
