The game draws directly from the fantasy world of Ridley Scott's Legend movie, released in 1985. Miyamoto also borrows from Namco's The Tower of Druaga, the first versions of Zelda being a chain of underground dungeons. The Legend of Zelda also borrows from various mythologies: Link is a character inspired by the elf and Peter Pan.
