"Miyamoto says:

"At first when we were developing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I even proposed using a first-person perspective."

*The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, part of the Legend of Zelda Series, was the first 3D game for Nintendo 64, and was released in December 1998. *

…

I thought that the FPS system would be the best way of enabling players to take in the vast terrain of the Hyrule Field. Besides, by not having the player’s character on the screen, we can spend..."

"10. Conker's Bad Fur Day (Rare)
He's lewd, it's crude and in some respects, disgusting as he pees on running flames and wars with teddy bears. Nevertheless, the star of Rare's Conker's Bad Fur Day introduced the ultimate anti-hero with the most bizarre platforming adventure ever. How bizarre? At one point, you meet a big singing pile of feces named the Great Mighty Poo and run around to fetch him sweet corn. We're serious."

"If we’re not jumping through hoops trying to save a kingdom, we’re fetching some rare Crystal Sword of Infinite Necromancy all out of the kindness of our hearts. What do we get in return? “Ah, gee thanks for risking life and limb to do a big ol’ fancypants favor for me and restoring our world to what it once was from the Dark Ruler of Naught. Here’s a medal, young adventurer. Never mind our bustling cleavage. Now get the hell out, street rat. Sorry ‘bout the hard-on.”

Whaaaaaa? Faster than..."

"On a personal note this was the hardest list I've ever attempted to write. All of these girls are villains in some way, with exception of the Horde. It was a ridiculous quest to find a female in a video games who wasn't attractive. And not just attractive, drop dead, unrealistically gorgeous. I hate to ruin a simple list like this, but why? Why are there no normal to ugly looking females, let alone fat ones. I mean I hate to break it to you people, fats real. People are bitching about how the..."

"10. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages (Game Boy Color, 2001)
Nintendo's Game Boy Color Zelda releases, the Oracle of Seasons and the Oracle of Ages, are refreshing entries in the series. Both games interact via two separate GBC systems and a link cable, the first Zelda releases to do so. They're difficult to find, but worth tracking down if you're up for some old school adventuring."

"Console and handheld modder Michael Page mailed in to let us know about his latest creation: a custom Blue & White Zelda DS Lite. Inspired by Morpheon Mods’ Gold Zelda DS Lite, this one-of-a-kind mod features a finely detailed design of Link’s shield embellished in a metallic hue with two small green LEDs hidden beneath, as well as a sleek glossy sky blue paint job."

"The biggest problem with great games is how everybody is always jabbering on about how damn wonderful they are. Which got us thinking: surely even the very finest videogames must have the odd blemish on their flawless complexions, the occasional fly in an otherwise unspoiled tub of ointment?

Click below to see what really got GamerSquad’s goat in the likes of Goldeneye, Half-Life, Halo, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time."

"Nintendo will show off the capabilities of its new Wii Zapper peripheral with a new game called Zelda Crossbow Training, according to reports.

Apparently shown to GameStop managers in a presentation in Las Vegas today, Zelda Crossbow Training is a simple, third-person target shooting game believed to be using the Twilight Princess engine.

It is yet to be confirmed if this is the pack-in game Nintendo promised would show off the abilities of the new peripheral as Wii Play did the Wii Rem..."

"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has topped a poll of readers of Edge magazine and industry experts to find the top 100 games of all time.

The 10-year-old videogame for the Nintendo 64 games console helped usher in a new era of 3D gaming."

"Change the setting
While such a ridiculously awesome different redesign is obviously out of the cards, am I the only one who’s getting tired of the medieval castles and grassy plains look? The Final Fantasy franchise manages to reinterpret their universe for every installment, and this philosophy actually makes more sense for the Zelda series. Think about it: the story behind every game is that Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are continuously reincarnated/brought back to life every X amount of ye..."

"According to an official Nintendo press release, 1985’s Super Mario Bros. has proven the most popular title release to date, followed by Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario World, and The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina Of Time.
