The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy

Fans of The Legend of Zelda may like this. A philosophy coming out late this November on Amazon.com

 

 

With both young and adult gamers as loyal fans, The Legend of Zelda is
one of the most beloved video game series ever created. The
contributors to this volume consider the following questions and more:
What is the nature of the gamer’s connection to Link? Does Link have a
will, or do gamers project their wills onto him? How does the gamer
experience the game? Do the rules of logic apply in the game world? How
is space created and distributed in Hyrule (the fictional land in which
the game takes place)? How does time function? Is Zelda art? Can Hyrule
be seen as an ideal society? Can the game be enjoyable without winning?
The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy not only appeals to Zelda fans and
philosophers but also puts video games on the philosophical map as a
serious area of study.
