Revista elege 200 melhores da história dos videogames



A revista americana Game Informer (GI) chegou à sua edição de número 200 e, comemorando a marca, compilou os 200 melhores videogames de toda a história. Sabe qual título ficou no topo? The Legend of Zelda (1986), jogo de fantasia para o sistema de videogame NES (Famicom, no Japão), da Nintendo.



The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda é uma série de videogames criada em 1986 pelo designer japonês Shigeru Miyamoto, também criador de Pikmin, Mario e Donkey Kong.

As aventuras Zelda são passadas em um ambiente de fantasia, o reino de Hyrule, habitado por seres lendários, quebra-cabeças, enigmas, além de muita magia. Montanhas, florestas, desertos, cidades, cavernas, castelos e calabouços, além de locações além-mar estão no imaginário geográfico de Hyrule e seus arredores.

O protagonista é Link, um guerreiro protetor da Princesa Zelda, herdeira do trono (de Hyrule) e do Triforce, um objeto sagrado que é formado por três triângulos, cada um deles com uma dádiva: sabedoria, poder e coragem. Segundo a lenda, quando unido, esse objeto provê ao seu detentor o dom para controlar o tempo e, em mãos erradas, poderia ser capaz de destruir civilizações inteiras.

Para criar a temática de Zelda, Miyamoto inspirou-se em sua infância na cidade de Kyoto, Japão, quando explorava cavernas e florestas, além de mitologia nórdica e japonesa.


De acordo com Miyamoto, o nome Zelda vem da esposa do famoso romancista Francis Scott Fitzgerald, escritor de O Curioso Caso de Benjamim Button (1920). Seu nome completo era Zelda Sayre.
