Fans Petition to Have Robin Williams Memorialized in Next Legend of Zelda Game

[Demon_Skeith]

Following Robin Williams' death earlier this week, a petition has been gaining supporters who want the actor to be memorialized in the next Legend of Zelda game.

The petition on change.org has accrued more than 83,000 supporters as of this writing, and impels Nintendo to include the iconic comedian as an NPC named "Robin" in the Legend of Zelda title on the Wii U.

"He won't get to play it, but he'll live on forever in a universe he always loved," the petition's page reads.

The actor was a fan of the series since 1987, and even named his daughter after the franchise's titular princess. The father and daughter duo were also recently hired to promote Nintendo's property in a series of ads for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

Nintendo responded:

"We appreciate the outpouring of support from the gaming community, and hear the request of fans to honor him in a future game. We will not be discussing what might be possible for future games during this difficult time, but we will hold our memories of Robin close."

 

[Sardonic Pickle]

That's a pretty good response.

I read in one of the comments that it should be up to his daughter or someone else if he should be put into a video game.

That sounds fair enough.

Yeah should be his daughters decision but nice to know Nintendo have taken note at least. Feel sorry for companies in things like this because they get pressured and its not necessarily something easy to incorporate.

it is easy to incorporate, but is hard to incorporate it in a way that would make the fans happy.
