It s Dangerous to Go Alone
Via: cryhavok.org He wanted kids to talk and share their experiences and secrets, creating a camaraderie when playing it. Before Googling was even a thing, Miyamoto had kids talking about the game and helping each other. When I was first playing Ocarina of Time, we had that one kid who lived in our neighborhood that could beat the Water Temple, and only him. Before the internet, you actually had to talk to people for help! Imagine. Now I just use a walk through for the Water Temple.

Say What
via youtube.com Link is notoriously silent, never saying a word during any of his many, many games. You’d think that maybe our little Hyrulian Hero was mute, but that’s not actually the case! As you can see in Wand of Gamelon and the ill-fated animated series, Link does indeed speak. You can even see other NPCs responding to him as if he was speaking. Why the silent treatment then? Miyamoto has said that he wanted to keep Link silent so that players could insert themselves and make it feel like they were the one’s in the adventure. You're The Hero of Time and no one was putting words into your mouth. When you do see him speak in anything it kind of ruins it, so I’m pretty glad they went with that choice.

Where Are Your Parents
via living-myth.blogspot.ca While there are many things that differ in each iteration of The Legend of Zelda series, the one thing that always stands true is that Link will be there and he doesn’t have parents. We have yet to meet 'The Parents of Time' in the past twenty-five years. His mother was mentioned in Ocarina of Time, having spirited him away to the Kokiri village to be raised by child elves. Instead of parents, Link is left with his Uncle in a few games, his grandmother and sister in Wind Waker and the Great Deku Tree (I guess??) in Ocarina of Time. I guess it makes sense, because there’s no way his mom would let him take up a sword and run into the woods. Although I guess they let the eleven-year-olds do it in Pokemon, so why not Link?
