Washington Post: On the scale of artistic achievement, perhaps the rarest feat a person or group can accomplish is to create a genre. Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto has done just that. He is a modern version of Homer, the mythical sire of long-form, dramatic verse. Though Miyamoto will always be tied to his creation of Mario the worlds most recognizable video game character his second most well-known creation, The Legend of Zelda (1986), has arguably exerted the largest influence across the industry. With its puzzles, secrets and labyrinths, Zelda gave birth to the action-adventure genre, one of the most malleable forms in all of gaming. Its DNA courses through titles as dissimilar as Tomb Raider and Fez.
