About this listen
It's dangerous to go alone! Take this (book).
For more than 30 years, The Legend of Zelda - which immerses players in a courageous struggle against the shadowy forces of evil in a world of high fantasy - has spanned more than 30 different installments, selling over 75 million copies. Today, it is one of the most beloved video game franchises around the globe.
Video game sales as a whole have continued to grow, now raking in twice as much money per year as the entire film industry, and countless psychologists have turned their attention to the effects gaming has on us: our confidence, our identity, and our personal growth. The Psychology of Zelda applies the latest psychological findings, plus insights from classic psychology theory, to Link, Zelda, Hyrule, and the players who choose to wield the Master Sword.
Think you've completed the quest? The Psychology of Zelda gives you new, thrilling dungeons to explore and even more puzzles to solve.

Who knew TLoZ was so nuanced?
Great audio going into the themes of the Zelda video game series. A little bit much emphasis on "Ocarina of Time" and some topics are repeated in the first few chapters. But overall very insightful would definitely recommend 🙏

Psychology According to Jung
The psychology of Carl Jung dominates the analyses of this book, which moreover are so shallow that they could be transferred to any other game.

A Very Mixed Bag
A fascinating idea for a book that falls flat in the execution. It is comprised of a collection of papers which often overlap in content and sometimes contradict one another in their interpretation and application of psychological theories to the games. A few of them are really reaching to glean meaning from the game content and feel rather contrived. With that said, there are a few gems in there (Majora's Mask as the 5 stages of grief 👌) that keep things interesting enough to stick with it to the end.

Started out good
Started out good, until it started talking about sexism, some things were a real stretch.
