I want to jump deep into the rabbit hole that's NES Legend Of Zelda. Give me prototypes, development interviews, glitches, deep game code dives and all the nerdy stuff you can possibly imagine. I want to know everything about this game.

There's what everyone around a place like this probably already knows, how the game was inspired by real life excursions Miyamoto made as a child to a cave that resided near his childhood home in rural Japan. It aroused his curiosity to the point he finally snuck a lantern out of his home and explored it.

The dungeon with the swastika for a map is not a nazi swastika, but a Japanese buddhist one. You can tell because the two face in opposite directions!

>> No.9216792

>>9216752
also, outside of early nazi party imagery, the nazi swastika was typically slanted.

Bonus trivia: Nazis didnt adopt the swastika from the buddhists. Swastikas have been used in several cultures, and the Swastika the nazis used was an old ancient germanic symbol used on many ancient germanic artefacts, and initially believed by historians in the early 20th century to be of religious and nationalistic significance. We now know that the germans used the swastika as decoration primarily because they thought it looked neat and is a simple pattern.

The dungeon that is shaped like a bird is meant to represent a bird, and this shape was chosen because in Japan, there are birds.

There is actually an entire ROM image of the game Ice Climber hidden inside the Zelda ROM. In order to reveal it, you only need to flip all the bits that differ between the two.

If you solder together two Legend of Zelda cartridges' internal circuit boards in a particular way, you'll actually produce a buggy prototype of Zelda II. (The main bug is that it doesn't run.)

The gold pigment that was used to create the first few runs of Zelda cartridges has a special origin: It came from a Japanese factory that makes additives for coloring plastics.

Everyone who played it and wasn't retarded beat it without a guide in the 80s. Even retarded kids could do it with hints from the playground. If you can't beat it without a guide you are either troll pretending to be retarded or you are retarded.
