 Everyone the boss man is back, and I want to talk to you guys about the 30th anniversary of Zelda Because four days after this video is posted Basically this Sunday upcoming Sunday, or if you're watching this later. It's already past Zelda's 30th anniversary is gonna arrive and this is especially notable for me because I turn 30 in July Which means I'm almost as old as the Legend of Zelda series So I turn 30 this year is all the turns 30 this year. So it's a bit of a special occasion, but I'm here to kind of tell you why I think Nintendo is kind of going wrong here. We're celebrating Zelda's anniversary too often It's actually doesn't feel as special to me as I thought it would and that's what I'm here to talk to you about today I don't want to discredit that the franchise a series. It's been 30 years. I'm Incredibly grateful for everything Zelda has done for me both what I get to do here at Zelda Informer What I get to do in these boss man videos all the news editorials everything get the rights all thanks to Zelda and You know praise me of Odo and AJ Ayanoha for all they have done to help me realize some of my dreams However I'm a little concerned with how they've been handling the anniversaries now the last anniversary celebrated was 25 That was five years ago. So just five years ago back in 2011 Nintendo celebrated the 25th anniversary we got you know two games released in Ocarina of Time 3d and Skyward Sword and then we also got the Symphony tour and that was kind of the summation of what they did for the 25th anniversary in general in terms of the big stuff and They might be doing more this year. We still have the symphony. We still have Hyrule Warriors legends coming out try the Princess HD and Zelda you supposedly hopefully thank you Nintendo do not take that game away from us this year So technically we have like three Zelda related releases with two with a remake and a full console game And then you know a kind of a repeat of a side game. We got a couple years ago but my concern in all of this is that We've had two straight console releases in a row where we're celebrating The series it's really weird to me that we're celebrating the 25th anniversary and the 30th anniversary I don't really get what they're doing here now There's multiple ways that I feel you can go along with celebrating anniversaries in the series I don't think it's appropriate to do it every single year because Frankly, we don't get to sell the games every single year. So It doesn't really make sense to me to necessarily celebrate every year However, I don't like what they're doing the 25th and the 30th now to me There are certain ways you can celebrate a series you can go every 10 years So every decade you celebrate another 10 years to the series. That's really common. A lot of people do that You know outside of the fact that here in the United States, you know We kind of make the 18th birthday and the 21st birthday a big deal Once you're past that the big deal has become your 30th your 40th your 50th your 60th, etc. So In terms of birthdays, we put a lot of emphasis on decades So it would make a lot of sense if the series was to celebrate decades And that's kind of what a 30th anniversary would be you'd celebrate the 10th anniversary the 20th and the 30th However, Nintendo chose to celebrate the 25th anniversary, which that's the quarter century anniversary That to me suggests if you're not really celebrating the series birthday until the 25th anniversary Then you really probably should celebrate it again until the 50th anniversary now that Obviously is a pain in what to me. I'd be 50 I'd probably make it to hopefully to the 75th anniversary and I would love to say I'd be alive for the 100th But um, you know, that's me being a hundred years old and You know, who knows what's gonna happen. Who knows if I can make the 75th. I hope I can So to me, that's kind of how I thought Nintendo was going to be handling it since we celebrated the 25th But then five years later we have the 30th and I don't think we're gonna be selling celebrating the 35th I'm pretty confident that Nintendo is not gonna be like hey look We have another console game coming out five years from now and let's do a big celebration again for the 35th anniversary because What what significance does the 35th anniversary have outside of the fact that yeah It's 35 years, but it's not really a notable day if that makes sense But then again, we don't know because when Nintendo the 25th anniversary I definitely did not see a 30th anniversary celebration coming even after they already did it from Mario last year So part of my problem with this is that we are celebrating anniversaries too close together right now. It's been five years That's that's just too too close now. I'm not going to complain about too much Zelda We've had a bunch of remakes this generation We've had a link between worlds and triforce heroes whether you love it or not hate it whatever I really enjoyed triforce heroes. So I still count it and Nintendo certainly counts it. So that's we've gotten two brand new Zelda games this generation. We're about to get a third In that timeframe, we've had one two three We're gonna get four remakes in that same timeframe that we're getting three brand new games so it's a lot of a a lot of me is really excited for what's happening with Zelda and We're walking it's a merchandise. There's playing cards. We're gonna have the continuing of the symphony of the goddesses with even more locations There's just a lot of stuff to really enjoy one side But as I stand before you today, I keep wondering what Is the best way to celebrate? Zelda's anniversary. In fact, how often should we celebrate? Should it be every five years when? ever since Really since Twilight Princess our last two Zelda releases are the last of the release and the upcoming one have five years between them as is I wouldn't mean we're celebrating almost every time a home console game comes out now I understand that you like me would like home console games to probably come up more often every three years I'd say would be the ideal mark and hopefully Nintendo recognizes that I know a G and Omo has stated that he wants him to come out every three years But we haven't had that reality occur So my question to you is how often do you really want these games to be celebrated? Do you want it to be every year? Do you want it to be every five every ten every 25? You tell me how often do you think it should be because personally I think After just celebrating the 25th and now we're celebrating the 30th. I think they're happening too frequently personally I Honestly since you know, we don't live forever. I would hate to say that By the time I turn 100 we've only celebrated four times or five since we include the 30th Personally, I like the every ten-year mark. So after this 30th anniversary I don't really really want to see Nintendo do this big shindig where we celebrate the series Until the 40th and then do it again on the 50th and the 60th assuming that Zelda's even around at that time, which I'm sure I'm sure Nintendo is gonna be around in some way. So I'm sure Zelda will be around too So that's my take. Thank you for joining me here on the boss man, and I will catch you guys later. Oh Real talk. So this week has been kind of a crazy crazy month Fellows who don't know a zeldin former has a new owner and Masi's I can't even pronounce his last name. So I'm gonna try. He's the owner webmaster founder of Zelda dungeon Dot net if you guys haven't heard of zelda dungeon They're kind of the leading zelda fansite for walkthroughs in particular plus they have a pretty decent forum community and you know, I Would say probably arguably the second best zelda wiki in the world right now One that we're happily supporting so they Yeah, so so we have this new owner so I had a new contract that started on February 1st and Since then I've been incredibly busy Ironically enough the new contract was actually Put in place to kind of take something off my plate because we promoted a staff member internally to a management position So I was supposed to be doing a little bit less at the site So I could do things like the boss man and more editorial series and to be fair I have written two editorials this month But that hasn't exactly been What's occurred? I'm sure if you've been this other former calm You've seen me posting a ton of news Unfortunately, we've had a lot of news people on hiatus this week. So I've had to be kind of that filling guy But I am proud to say that I do have some new lighting So the fact that hopefully this green screen behind me turned out beautifully in the video Because the new lighting I'm still kind of working on it I have one more light to set up so next week it might even get better Haven't really figured that out yet. Obviously the green screen is back. It's been a while since we've used one I'm not, you know, I'm silly in full Zelda attire I gotta kind of sort through my Zelda attire because the problem with a green screen is that you can't really wear green and That doesn't work So actually contemplating I'm getting a blue screen so I could wear more green but see I have blue eyes So I'm kind of in a conundrum here last time I used a blue screen. It looks like part of my eyes were hollowed out I don't want that to happen again So, yeah, so that's kind of what's been going on. I'm obviously I've have three beautiful children Including a four-month-old. So that's put a lot of pressure on me But I'm looking to get what boss man going here every single week So if you guys have any feedback any suggestions ways I can improve I am not using my external microphone this week Specifically just because I didn't want to move my laptop. I just got some new 4k monitors for it and in setting it all up my laptops in a position now Or it would take me probably a good 20 minutes to get it set back up to do the editing for this So I'm just kind of using the audio on my camera So I apologize if the audio quality is not what you're accustomed to but that's gonna be getting better as well however What I can tell you is because of my 4k monitors after this week Next week, I'm hoping to make this a 4k quality video Let me know if you're even interested in me doing that because right now I've recorded in 1080p 60 FPS Except these kind of videos don't really need 60 FPS So I was thinking that if I could just up it to 4k at 30 FPS That would be a pretty acceptable quality for you guys I mean it would kind of future-proof the series So if people want to watch it on their 4k TVs the 4k monitors even on your phones a lot of phones that they have 4k screens I Figure that that would be beneficial to you guys So let me know what you think if you have any ideas for future episodes you can leave them below in the comments You can follow me on Twitter at Nate Jantz. You can follow Zeldin former on Twitter at Zeldin former That's all I really got for you guys today. Thank you and Maybe you shouldn't eat pizza for breakfast All right, I will catch you guys later Zeldas 30th pretty cool and Yeah, I'll see you next week
