Here's What You Didn't Know About Ganon's Shadowy Past
Did you know that The Legend of Zelda's iconic villain was referred to as "Bull Demon King" in the original game's design documents? Or that his name is of Irish origin? Or that his game over laugh from Zelda II was copied from the game Punch-Out? Maybe it's time for a study break.
You can check out other videos from the Did You Know Gaming channel covering Deus Ex, Shadow of the Colossus, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Super Mario Galaxy, Dark Souls, Metal Gear Solid 3, Super Mario RPG, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Wario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Batman: Arkham Asylum, the history of the Wii U, NES, PlayStation 2, Nintendo 64, the 3DS, DS, and two covering the Game Boy by hitting the links.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
