Introduction and Intent
As stated, this blog seeks to explore the trends, history, and manifestation of architecture within The Legend of Zelda series. As is planned, the articles will draw upon the motifs, orders, symbols, schools, and histories of various locations within the in-game world of The Legend of Zelda. Simultaneously, architectural and seminal influences from the real world will not be overlooked, but will augment articles, in order to give further meaning to aspects described therein.
The universe of The Legend of Zelda is replete with multifarious architectural oddities, beautiful and resonating structures, and ineffably-mysterious temples and dungeons hidden in the remote corners of the world; it is my hope to explore said places, shedding light upon some of their salient features, and fulfilling the goals laid out by this introduction, the main goal of which is heuristic in nature: my foremost desire is to help people understand and appreciate the unspoken, yet deeply-felt, allure of these locations and structures, and to encourage each person to explore and make meaning for themselves.
Fundamentally important to me is attempting perfection through attention to detail and contemplation of perception. Beauty is cardinal, and aesthetics are second to few things. That said, this blog will attempt to uphold a rigorous aesthetic standard so as to not contradict the appreciation of beauty within each post.
