Zelda's 25th Anniversary

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Yesterday, the legend of Zelda celebrated its 25th anniversary.

The Legend of Zelda, the first game of the series, was first released in Japan on February 21, 1986, on the Famicom Disk System. A cartridge version, using battery-backed memory, was released in the United States on August 22, 1987, and Europe on November 27, 1987.

To celebrate, here is a mural painted by a Japanese artist (who's name we have yet to find out)
