Nintendo is celebrating the Zelda series with three anniversary pages and a few surprises

After Super Mario in 2020, Nintendo is celebrating 35 years of The Legend of Zelda this year. While the manufacturer waits for a new episode worthy of the name, the manufacturer improvises with the means.

For everyone who doesn’t want to give in to the consumer appeal of Game & Watch The Legend of Zelda this summer, Nintendo Japan has just put not one, not two, but three portals online, each for The legend of Zelda

, Link’s adventure and the essentials Link’s Awakening. And happy birthday.

I am (not) a mistake

Nintendo has therefore decided to fully describe the first three adventures of the most famous of the Hyliens and to reveal a good number, as Nintendo does not use a compilation worthy of the name (hello The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition) of vintage works of art , Topspin for the occasion. The moment is ideal to rediscover the characters of the Zelda series, which at the time only consisted of a handful of pixels, in detail. The Gallery of Enemies, perfect in its own juice, should bring some fond memories straight back to the 1980s for the not-so young of you.

. If some people will undoubtedly scream blasphemy upon discovering the retouching of certain images, then how can one not burst at the full screen artwork of the great Game Boy episode that we talked about again recently in favor of a tribute book.

These historical illustrations would almost make us regret the old days when every game release was accompanied by an appropriate notice. It turns out that sometimes life is well done as the three original manuals are available for free download!

The more informed you scroll to the bottom of each page, the others click on each of these links, not without thanking us in passing:

Here’s a dash (if not three) of nostalgia, anything that is freer, and the video game historians hiding below you will judge this Nintendo offering by its fair value, a company that nonetheless redeem for used anything. Is that what 35 is?

And for those who prefer to look to the future, keep that in mind Breath of the Wild 2 is officially expected in 2022.
