I've covered a lot of Sega games on my channel but now it's finally time for a Nintendo game to get the spotlight: Zelda III. One of the reasons why I eventually bought a SNES :)

The Making of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past the 16bit smashhit for the Super Nintendo. In this episode we briefly explore the start of the franchise and R&D4 the famed division let by Miyamoto. It was during this period that industry legends like Takashi Tezuka (director and game design) and Koji Kondo (music) Kensuke Tanabe (Scenario Writer) joined Nintendo. We further dive into the 3 year long development cycle of this legendary Zelda game.
