QUOTE:
Kondo: This request was for sound direction for The Legend of Zelda. It bears a seal with Tezuka-san's name, and the date is Sep. 27.
Tezuka: But if you read it, it's pretty rough. For cave music, it just says “short BGM.”
Q: “Life Fountains” must mean the Fairy Fountains.
Tezuka: Yes.
Q: It just says, “fanfare, sparkly.” [laughs] Kondo-san, when you received this request, I suppose you thought, “What kind of music am I supposed to make?!”
Kondo: Yeah. [laughs]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreigzw5wdpalgew7gqhm5a7mopyoqcnrn67lqytltvdbb537oiykrt4@jpeg)

![PEOPLE:
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 59. Producer & Co-Director of The Legend of Zelda (1986).
QUOTE:
Q: And where does Link’s name come from?
Miyamoto: It’s not a very well-known story, but back then, when we started designing The Legend of Zelda, we imagined the fragments of the Triforce as electronic chips! It was meant to be a video game that would take place both in the past and the future.
Because the hero was linking together both eras, we called him “Link”, after the English word. But in the end, Link never went to the future and it remained a heroic fantasy game. We can even say there’s absolutely nothing futuristic in the game!
