24 years ago I was given a gem under the Christmas tree: The Legend of Zelda, (TLOZ) for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) which is without a doubt my favorite video game of all time. The game was innovative. It had a persistent memory module and non-linear map exploration, which were both very rare for console games in 1987. The game itself had a number of cool computer science techniques buried in the assembly, but that is not what I want to focus on here. I want to talk about how playing the game can inform Software Engineering.
