Introduction

Whether you want to accept it or not, Nintendo is the greatest video game company ever. They completely revolutionized the video game world and invented some of the things we nowadays take for granted. Nintendo were the first to step away from the traditional joystick and begin using their invention, the control pad. Nintendo also introduced the D-Pad, the Analogue Stick, the rumble function (no it wasn’t Sony), the RF controller, and the light gun, although it isn’t much used by Nintendo and is used a lot more by arcade machines. So you see, the original and extremely innovative Nintendo invented almost everything about video games today. Nintendo started to work in the business they’re in now from scrap, and they ended up as the biggest multi-billion dollar video game company. They virtually started the video game industry so you can be sure they will be around for a long, long time. It’s no wonder that countless people use the word “Nintendo” to refer to video games, like we use “Kleenex” for tissue and “Xerox” for copy or paper.

The Legend of Zelda


The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda is a high fantasy action-adventure video game series created by Japanese game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. It is developed and published by Nintendo, with some portable installments outsourced to Flagship/Capcom, Vanpool, and Grezzo. Considered one of Nintendo's most important franchises, its gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, and puzzle solving. The series centers primarily on Link, the playable character and the protagonist. Link is often given the task of rescuing Princess Zelda in the most common setting of the series, Hyrule, from Ganon (also known as Ganondorf), a Gerudo chief who is the primary antagonist of the series. However, other settings and antagonists have appeared throughout the games, with Vaati being a strong secondary antagonist during the lifespan of the Game Boy Advance. The story commonly involves a relic known as the Triforce, which is a set of three omnipotent golden triangles. The protagonist in each game is usually not the same incarnation of Link, but a few exceptions do exist.
