Issue #20: 30 Years of The Legend of Zelda – March/April 2016

It’s NF Magazine’s milestone 20th issue! It should come as no surprise that the Nintendo Force team members are major Legend of Zelda fans, and in this issue we celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary in a big way: We put together a huge central feature for you all walking through each of the 30 years of Zelda history, chronicling how the franchise evolved one calendar flip at a time! We also spotlighted the unreleased (in America) “BS Zelda” games and Japan’s Satellaview SNES peripheral that made them possible, interviewed Clyde “Tomato” Mandelin (author of the new Legends of Localization book series, the first installment of which focuses on Zelda 1), and reviewed both the just-released Twilight Princess HD and the upcoming Hyrule Warriors Legends. (Which, of course, also appears as the cover game.) We hope you enjoy it from cover to cover!

Included with print copies of this issue is a double-sided poster! On one side, Hyrule Warriors Legends. On the reverse, Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Conquest!
