For the #Zelda35th, I have a little story to tell.
It was 1991, and A Link to the Past was still in development in Japan. I was 15 years old, having just moved to Redmond, WA. I was a massive Nintendo fan, having played their games since 1983 when Donkey Kong was in arcades. 1/

After arriving in Redmond in 1990, I started writing a bunch of fan-mail to Nintendo of America's HQ, asking for crazy stuff, like the stats of NES Mega Man & Final Fantasy characters, to translate them into D&D characters. I never got a response, but I got a letter later... 2/ 
The letter was from a small User Research team, who'd bring in a bunch of kids to try out NES and GameBoy titles before they arrived on store shelves.
In a room with 20-something other kids, I'd share my thoughts. I guess they liked my feedback, because they called me back. 3/

The release of the Zelda prequel ‘Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity’
held a lot of promise but came with some disappointment—at least that’s the opinion of our reviewer. What did you think? #zelda35th 2/

What’s fun about the Zelda franchise is how it has changed and expanded. Proof of that can be found in ‘Link's Awakening’ which abandons most of the elements of the series, yet it remains itself even as it reassembles into a new form. #zelda35th 3/ wired.com/story/links-aw…
