It’s unbelievable that I am even writing this, but “The Legend of Zelda” is officially 25 years old. After 25 years of entertainment, multiple books, and iterations on Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and the Wii, we can now say that this is one of the best video game franchises of all time. Years ago, I recall people purchasing Game Cube – not for the system itself – but because of the fact that they wanted to play Zelda again.
During the past twenty five years there have been fifteen versions of The Legend of Zelda that have been released on all of Nintendo’s consoles. The game was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, who is also behind the Mario Brothers series. Throughout it’s history, The Legend of Zelda has sold more than 59 million copies worldwide across multiple consoles. In the past we have noted that The Legend of Zelda was the fourth best selling Nintendo game of all time, behind the first three Super Mario Brothers titles.
Feeling nostalgic and want to relive those past experiences? We’ll luckily you can still pick up a copy:
- NES: The Legend of Zelda
- Nintendo 64: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Nintendo Wii: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
