This time with shorts created by @xJuanabout a curiosity about The Legend of Zelda for NES. ¿Did you know that The Legend of Zelda was the first console game to allow save game? In addition to being considered a spiritual forerunner of the role-playing genre, it was the first to allow a console player to save progress to continue the game in another game session.
Until then, the video game model was marked by trends in arcade machines, where the goal was to get a high score and start over to try to beat the previous mark. TLOZ paved the way for video games to incorporate more complex mechanics and stories. To make it possible, the cartridge itself incorporated an internal battery that fed a small RAM chip that was responsible for storing your progress.
The Legend of Zelda acabó selling six and a half million copies.
