In a recent Iwata Asks feature, Shigeru Miyamoto went into detail about his initial expectations for The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Admittedly, he never imagined that the genre would attract such a massive and loyal fan base. “When I was making The Legend of Zelda, it was very plain,” stated Miyamoto.
