Sometimes I'll say stuff like "Melora (@historyofhyrule.com) has been the heart of the Zelda community for 20+ years" and people kinda nod along. Something a friend of Melora would say!
But I MEAN IT! Here's the oldest example I know of of a Zelda creator referencing the English fan community.
SO HONORED TO BE IN THE GAME!! With a little Oliver plushie omg <3 Thank you I'm so excited to play it and I hope everyone else is tooooo!!
I want to post more but I am boring
One time I rented Animal Crossing from Blockbuster, returned the disc, & then just never powered off my Gamecube. It's so small you can play it without the Disc. I kept my system running 24/7 for two months until an electrical storm knocked out my power. Best $7 I ever spent.
In 1992, Australian program A Current Affair reported on Miyamoto's modest compensation despite his central role in Nintendo's success. To illustrate, they filmed him humbly biking to work.
After determining where they filmed, I walked The Miyamoto Path myself! ...Has much changed in 33 years?
Currently scanning the never-online-before first chapter of the 1988 Super #Mario Bros 3 Manga by Yukio Sawada. Wanpakku, the publisher, closed after the next issue so this never completed & can't be found anywhere else. #Nintendo
Do you think the Japanese dub of Doug was well received when it aired in Japan? I think about that sometimes.
I've never had to cancel Spotify because I'd never found a reason to subscribe to it. Do people just not buy and rip CDs any more? (Please do not answer this, my back aches enough as it is)
There is a silent battle going on between people who think hoarding lost media so nobody else can see it is really funny, & those that think sharing lost media on the internet for free to piss those people off is even funnier. You will not learn of this in your history books.
The early moblin art for #zelda 1 is really fun. So grumpy!
I'm still slowly chipping away at updating all the art in the gallery for the first game from the new 2400dpi scans I made of everything. www.flickr.com/photos/histo...
From 1985-89 Wanpakku Comics was a major producer of #Nintendo manga & game guides. While much of the manga was later released in volumes, they closed & the last issues can only be found in the original monthlies
It was requested I scan the #Mario chapters. May 1988: archive.org/details/zine...
yuck
I'm going to watch this now because of this post
You can tell the exact moment we stopped being optimistic about the future.
Love it! This image from the Game & Watch site is what I used as the background texture in my render of the Zelda 1 keshi figures from 1986!

Steer clear of Buyee though for the time being. They are making you "pre-pay" the tariffs based on the total price of the package, regardless of what is in it. I already had stuff (all books) at their warehouse when this was implemented so I had no choice.
I'm going to start drafting my positive youtube comment
I thought this had been scanned but maybe it hasn't? So here it is! It's one of the few #Zelda 1 Japanese guides that actually has maps of all 9 labyrinths in it! It also features #DragonQuest & #FinalFantasy

Itβs so weird to think of Mitsuru Adachi as overlooked, but he really is when it comes to English-language releases.
Weβve only gotten one complete series and a few books of short stories; most of these are out of print. And no anime adaptations released on physical media.

As an aside, amidst all of this on September 11th, 2009, Yoshito Usui suddenly died in a hiking accident. This image of Shin crying (which I hate personally) was all over the internet at the time due to Ballad and I mistakenly thought it was fan art made in relation to Usui's death.
This issue had a manga adaptation (not written or drawn by Yoshito Usui so not super interesting to me) of anime episodes 676-C and 677-C and hence my original post in this thread.
Which brings us to the September 15th, 2009 (released about 2 weeks before the cover date.) issue of Weekly Manga Action (where Shin-chan was serialized from 1990 - 2000.)
As part of the cross-promotion, the TV anime had a string of episodes throughout September 2009 that tied into Ballad, in which Shin and company would time travel and meet child versions of Ren and Ijiri. Not the versions of them from "Warring States, but from "Ballad".
Ballad was being heavily cross-promoted in Shin-chan space at the time. Here are the September and October 2009 issues of Monthly Manga Town, where Crayon Shin-chan had been serialized since December of 2000.
The main series Crayon Shin-chan characters were swapped out with live action counterparts (the arrows in this photo will explain), but Ballad is otherwise an ππ₯π‘ππππππ¦ faithful adaptation of "Warring States." The other characters even retain their names.
The film was so acclaimed in Japan that it was actually adapted into a live action film, Ballad, in 2009.
