At its core, The Legend of Zelda is a testament to the power of exploration, a theme deeply rooted in Shigeru Miyamoto’s childhood adventures. Inspired by his own experiences of discovering hidden caves and the thrill of the unknown, Miyamoto crafted a game that invites players to embark on their own journeys through the expansive land of Hyrule. This sense of adventure not only defined the original game but has also influenced countless titles in the gaming industry over the past four decades.
