TCW Podcast Episode 253 - Masanobu Endō Masanobu Endō is one of Japan's most important game designers, yet remains relatively unknown in the West. Starting from an uncertain role at Namco, he first made his mark by turning Dig Dug play notes into an official strategy booklet, then shifted into programming work where he learned from Namco's maze games, including Pac-Man. Assigned as a programmer on Xevious, he stepped into the lead role when the original planner left, pushing for a coherent world where every enemy and structure had a purpose in a larger mythology. The secrets, patterns, and hidden elements he built into Xevious encouraged dedicated players to map routes, chase glitches, and hunt for new techniques in a way that feels very similar to how modern communities approach speedrunning and score optimization today. Endō then expanded these ideas in The Tower of Druaga, fusing Dungeons and Dragons style dungeon crawling with Babylonian and Sumerian myth, cryptic treasure requirements, and a real ending instead of an endless loop. The result helped shape how Japanese designers approached action adventure, including early thinking around what would become "The Legend of Zelda."

Codex History of Video Games with Mike Coletta and Tyler Ostby - Podaholics
Mike and Tyler take a moment to talk about the influence the Legend of Zelda series has had on video games as a whole. The theme music is by RoccoW. The logo was created by Dani Dodge.
Description This week we celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the most legendary video games of all time, The Legend of Zelda, and explore how it changed gaming forever. Grab your wooden sword and let's head north. From dungeon bosses to Dodongo smoke signals, we break down the history, music, trivia, and lasting impact of Nintendo's groundbreaking adventure. News A new trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu has dropped, teasing familiar characters and confirming a theatrical release on May 22, 2026. DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom is being reimagined into Tropical Americas, including an Indiana Jones retheme of the Dinosaur ride and an interactive Encanto attraction. A new Star Wars Galactic Racer game is coming in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, joining the expanding Star Wars gaming universe. We say farewell to legendary actor Robert Duvall, whose career spanned classics like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay has been diving into Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance on iPad, a tower defense game bursting with cartoon charm and clever pop culture easter eggs. Its lighthearted tone and strategic depth make it easy to pick up but tough to master. Shua has been moved by Sentimental Value, an Academy Award–nominated drama starring Renate Reinsve, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgard, and Elle Fanning. This emotional story of estranged family members reconnecting delivers powerful performances and a heartfelt punch. Sci-Fi Saturdays - This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay shines a spotlight on Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, directed by Luc Besson. Though considered a box office disappointment, Jay found plenty to love in its ambitious world-building, visual spectacle, and pulpy sci-fi adventure energy. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Video Games! This week we journey back to 1986 and celebrate the revolutionary release of The Legend of Zelda, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. Inspired by childhood exploration, fantasy literature, and a desire to let players discover secrets on their own, Zelda dropped players into Hyrule with no hand-holding and no instructions beyond a wooden sword and courage. We relive dungeon bosses, secret bombable walls, cryptic old men, and the unforgettable music composed by Koji Kondo. From Aquamentus to Ganon, from Second Quest surprises to Silver Arrow victories, we explore why this game still resonates four decades later, and why sometimes the best adventures are the ones where nobody tells you what to do. Have you played through all of The Legend of Zelda? Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "You have acquired a sword!" will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

For the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, Game Club is celebrating by playing what might just be the lowest point in the franchise: Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon.Released on the Philips CD-i and famous for all the wrong reasons, Wand of Gamelon has long been a punchline among fans. Stiff controls, baffling design choices, and cutscenes that feel beamed in from another dimension have earned it a reputation as—very possibly—the worst game to carry the Zelda name.But is it truly that bad? Or is there something worth understanding beneath the chaos?In this anniversary special, we revisit the game's legacy, its place in Zelda history, and why even a series as legendary as this one has its missteps.

Then, they each share their origin stories as ‘Zelda' players, and the ‘Zelda' games they have personal soft spots for. After that, they draft their favorite Links, world maps, items, bosses, dungeons, songs, and companion characters from across the series. Email us at ringerversegaming@gmail.com!

Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families
The Legend of Zelda was created in the 1980s by Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. He was inspired by his childhood adventures exploring forests, caves, and fields near his home. He wanted players to feel curious and brave as they explored a magical world full of puzzles and secrets. The story follows a hero named Link, who goes on quests to save Princess Zelda and protect the land of Hyrule.
Super Mario Bros. The Legend of Zelda. Pokémon. Animal Crossing. Video games from the Japanese company Nintendo have been surprising, delighting and challenging players since the 1980s. The Guardian's video games editor Keza MacDonald has been playing Nintendo games for three decades and has recently introduced her own children to their colorful worlds. And in her new book “Super Nintendo,” MacDonald says that Nintendo's game design — which rewards curiosity and emphasizes fun — not only changed the video game industry but how we play with each other. MacDonald joins us and we hear from you: What was the first Nintendo game you ever played? Guests: Keza MacDonald, senior video games editor, The Guardian; author, "Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play" Joshua Bote, associate editor, Gazzetteer SF; Pokémon fan and collector Nathan Kruse, former Super Smash Brothers Super Smash Bros.

Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door KPN Glasvezel. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. KPN Glasvezel heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Het voelt behoorlijk frisjes buiten en in het noorden worstelen ze nog met een lekker pakkie sneeuw. Niettemin zijn de heren van Gamekings gewoon in de studio aanwezig om jullie van een vers uurtje vrolijk gebabbel te voorzien. JJ, Koos en Skate zijn de amateur psychologen van dienst en staan klaar om de meest persoonlijke en dringende vragen van een passend antwoord te voorzien. In deze editie van Brievenmaandag zijn er onder meer vragen over de vroege campagne van The Legend of Zelda, Forza Horizon 6 en de lol van split screen gaming. Deze onderwerpen en meer krijg je in de Brievenmaandag van maandag 16 februari 2026.‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is de meest chille game ooit'Andere vragen die voorbij dwarrelen in deze talkshow zijn vragen over de Steam Deck, het hardcore gehalte van Neerlands trots A2 Racer en mensen die niet meer weten welke games ze moeten gaan spelen. Laten wij daar nu een aantal fijne oplossingen voor hebben.Stap nu over op KPN Glasvezel en krijg een Switch 2 of PS5Vanaf vandaag heeft KPN een actie lopen die je als weldenkend gamer bijna niet links kan laten liggen. Als je namelijk overstapt naar KPN Glasvezel en een tweejarig abonnement afneemt, kun je als welkomstcadeau kiezen uit een Switch 2 of een PS5. En we weten dat veel mensen nog een Switch 2 willen halen en de mensen die in november GTA 6 willen spelen en nog geen PS5 hebben, zijn ook erg gebaat bij deze actie.
