Zelda to be First Franchise to enter the Video Game Hall of Fame

An article over at Spike.com says The Legend of Zelda series will be the first franchise to enter the Video Game Hall of Fame. This is an extreme honor and it gives Zelda the praise it deserves as it is a video game series that has touched the hearts of many gamers as well as having been a game series that has been around for 25 years! Here’s an excerpt from the article talking about the series’ induction into the Video Game Hall of Fame.

“It is only natural to start with Zelda,” said Geoff Keighley, executive in charge, publisher relations, Spike. “‘The Legend of Zelda’ is a franchise that inspired many of us to see the potential of games when it debuted 25 years ago, and one that has successfully transitioned from one game console generation to the next and continually shown the narrative and artistic potential of the medium.”

Nintendo also had a say in the matter and as they should be, they were honored to have Zelda receive this amazing reward.

“All of us at Nintendo are truly honored to have ‘The Legend of Zelda’ as the first inductee into Spike’s Video Game Hall of Fame,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales & marketing. “As we mark the 25th anniversary of the ‘Zelda’ series, we look forward to the December 10th VGA event as a very special way to celebrate with fans and SPIKE viewers around the globe.”
