Forums - Gaming - The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy, new book due out November

On gametrailers they have a retrospect of the time line but that was before Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass that I thought was a good one but I wish they updated it with twilight princess and Phantom

I will try to link the video but I am at work most sites are blocked

But I thought the MGS4 fans were saying that only Kojima can explore philosophy, and you can't include deep messages without a 45 minute cut scene ...



I hope they got licensing rights from Nintendo or this book might disappear.
I already have my own philosophy set based off of LOZ, but I'd be interested to read another viewpoint. Game philosophy, yeah, gaming has definitely become mainstream =)



This sounds really cool i might buy it.



Zelda and... Philosophy? I didn't just read that.

I personally believe that it is nearly impossible to make an interesting story without touching on some (moderately) deep topics in philosophy; sometimes this is fully intended, but I expect that most of the time the statement really being made is simpler and people see a deeper exploration than the artist intended.

True, but "Zelda and Mythology" makes a whole lot more sense than "Zelda and Philosophy".

Philosophy is one of the most used and abused words in the English language. People should just do us all a favor and stop using it for awhile.
