The Legend of Zelda was principally inspired by
Shigeru Miyamoto's explorations as a young boy in
the hillsides surrounding his childhood home in
Sonobe, Japan where he ventured into forests with
secluded lakes, caves, and rural villages. According
to Miyamoto, one of his most memorable experiences
was the discovery of a cave entrance in the middle
of the woods. After some hesitation, he apprehensively
entered the cave, and explored its depths with the
aid of a lantern. Miyamoto has referred to the creation
of the Zelda games as an attempt to bring to life
a "miniature garden" for players to play
with in each game of the series.

to name the princess after her, and titled his creation
