Legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto told Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that he didn’t expect the immensely popular Legend of Zelda series to become a successful mainstream gaming franchise.
“When I was making The Legend of Zelda, it was very plain. I didn’t think that genre would be seen as something so mainstream.
“I really didn’t expect the response I got when I first made The Legend of Zelda. A world of swords and magic really wasn’t considered mainstream at the time.”

First
LOVE THE NAME & COMMENT
But now Zelda is very popular. Glad the series continue.
One of the best series of all time. Hope Skyward Sword continue expanding the franchise to other levels.
I really want that figurine in the picture. Also I’m infinitely glad Zelda has continued, can’t freakin’ wait for Skyward Sword.
