Today marks the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. Originally released for the Famicom Disk System in 1986, Nintendo’s ambitious adventure kicked off the most beloved high fantasy video game of them all. Through decades, the hero of time has slain stalfos, objected octoroks and harassed cuccos. But behind all the sword and sorcery lies another campaign in waiting. An adventure Link has never braved but come very close to journeying: some outer space shit.
