For this paper I chose the character Link from The Legend of Zelda series. I am going to be mostly be going off the title The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, therefore my examples and explanations will also be from that title.

What I had assumed at the moment to be pus dripped down my hand and I sighed with relief. Except…huh? There was something on my hand and it wasn’t moving. I brought my hand in front of my body to see what it was, and- You always hear those urban legends or real life stories about various critters living under our skin.

Be it nostalgia or an inclination to entertainment, the series of The Legend of Zelda and its entirety have a firm grasp on the consumer. Spanning from the 90’s to present time, The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s best game in the gaming industry, second to the famed Mario series that popularized and even saved the gaming industry.
