The Triforce has finally been obtained.

Who knew it was in a Duel Monsters card! ... And a robot at that!

... Ah. So it's a western game.

Nah, it was made by a Japanese dude.

Same one who made Mario.

The series is actually based on the guy going and wandering around a forest when he was a kid.

Nope. All of this is developed in Japan.

Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. Do those sound Western to you.

But it doesn't fit... why would they write a story based in Western Myth.

Because they liked it and find it interesting to write about with their own take?

Made by a Japanese guy, developed by a Japanese company, and usually comes out in Japan first.

I do not see the confusion here!

But they're doing it in the style of a Western Hero, a Western Princess, and a Western Wizard/Devil. It's a western Fairy Tale.

Done by Japanese people.

... Seriously, this isn't odd when you consider that the same guy made an Italian plumber that eats mushrooms and steps on turtles.

Yes it is.
