I was playing the original NES version of the Legend of Zelda. Does anyone else notice that the third dungeon is shaped like a swastika? What was Nintendo thinking? Anyone have an opinion on this?

I always thought all the dungeons kinda looked like swastikas...that or an eagle or something. My guess is that it's pure coincidental.

The majority of dungeons in The Legend Of Zelda were shaped like animals. In fact, [SPOILER ALERT PROBABLY] the animal's "eye" on your map is often the location of some hidden thing.

So the swastika could be that they were just looking for a simpler dungeon design, or... a failed starfish design?
PLEASE DON'T LET NINTENDO BE NAZI SYMPATHIZERS!!! IT'S THE ONE THING ABOUT NINTENDO THAT HASN'T BEEN RUINED!!!
You encounter a STRANGE FOX-MAN sitting some distance away. He appears to be writing. Looking up from his task, he addresses you, saying:

DARKANINE : That is true.
In fact many eastern religions still use this and it's not a taboo in Eastern culture. So even if Nintendo put the swastika in the legend of zelda game it's not meant to be a nazi thing but something to represent peace or good fortune. One of my favorite manga characters uses this symbol

His name, Manji, even means 卐

Crawldragon : so nintendo wouldn't be Nazi sympathizers, if the swastika was what they were going for. Wish granted.

I remember this when I was younger but I can't recall which way it was facing...the best I know, the one facing to the left is a symbol of Native American origin(?) and the one to the right was Hitler's corruption of it. I always wondered about that map too...

spectergaj :

It is actually not a swastika. It's called a Manji. Check this Zeldapedia page for details.

http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda#Controversy

The swastika also goes a different direction than what appeared in the game. Compare the image in Zeldapedia to images of a swastika. They are different.

Swastikas go the other way. What you are seing is like a Maji or something. I'm not a religious person so I couldn't tell you for sure.

legacyme3 : Actually, the non-Nazi swastikas can go either direction though I forget what each side means. The game was just using the non-Nazified swastika (aka manji) for the dungeon design. And Zamiel was correct. It's rooted in Eastern religions.

I actually never noticed that until you brought that up, come to think of it the Forest Medallion in Ocarina of Time kind of looks like a swastika too.
