The Legend of Zelda

Takashi Tezuka originally started out as an artist for the NES game The Legend of Zelda, but as it always seems to work out on small teams he went on to do a few other things in the game. Tezuka has a deep knowledge of the Zelda series, especially from the early days, since he has been around practically from day one. In the video above he talks about the ideas that went into the game and how they developed it, along with this concept of the Triforce and “three” being this sort of perfect number that you will continually find throughout the entire series.

Oh, remember earlier when we posted a tweet that said the timeline didn’t exist early on? You won’t find that in this video, since he pretty much just reconfirms that they always had some sort of timeline document laying around.
