The Legend of Zelda Turns 25

[wraggster]

The Legend of Zelda originated 25 years ago today, when Nintendo released the original game for its Famicom console in Japan on February 21st, 1986. Benj Edwards is celebrating with a look at some of the franchise's odder sidelights (http://technologizer.com/2011/02/21/legend-of-zelda/), from a version broadcast by satellite to the unexpected true story of where the game got its name."If you're in the mood for more nostalgia, 1Up has a collection of articles (http://www.1up.com/news/legend-of-zelda-turns-25) delving into the past two and a half decades of Zelda. And since it's cool, here's a link (sorry) to a guy who hacked an oscilloscope to display Gameboy games (http://flashingleds.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/nintendoscope/), using 1993's Link's Awakening as a demonstration.
