It all starts with a video of the Legend of Zelda series through the ages and a live orchestra. Link’s adventures on-screen are accompanied by a beautiful melody that perfectly compliments the video and would have any Zelda fan squirming in their seats in excitement. Once the video ends, Shigeru Miyamoto is the first man on-stage, and begins talking about how the Zelda series has changed throughout the years.
