I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you so, SO very much for them. I've been playing your games since I was only two years old, and I am still amazed by the utter brilliance you have packed into all of them.

I hope the rest of your life is very long and healthy, and that your wonderful involvement with gaming remains. Sean Campbell Kingston, Tennessee A Link to the Past / Super Mario World / Mario 64 / Zelda 64 Happy Birthday, Miyamoto-san! Your key games are, as has been said ad infinitum, brilliant examples of the imagination put to good use. Mario is like an old friend to those who grew up playing his games in the 80s, and for the new gamers, I think that even the "old" games still ring true for them. As an English teacher in America, I know for a fact that the youth still embrace even the supposedly defunct 2-D games of old, which I treasure so. You have brought endless joy to so many; I thank you! Kevin Bell Whitby, Ontario Super Mario 64 or Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Happy Birthday! How do you properly thank the man that brought Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong... the Star Fox games, Mario Kart, Tennis, Golf.... Looking forward to Mario Sunshine! Thanks again and Happy 50th! Jeremy Martin Lakeland, Florida Super Mario Bros. Happy 50th birthday, O Worthy Master. May it go as well as you would like, and may you always remember the fact that 'an adult is just a child with more rules.' Thank you for a great childhood, which I hope never ends. Your loyal fan and student, Jeremy D. Martin. P.S. Don't retire before I can become your apprentice. Robert Fernandez Downey, California The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Happy Birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto! Thanks for all the great memories your magical games I grew up on gave me! I still will continue to love your games even when I become an adult! Just never stop using your great imagination, so my children can grow up on your games too... Pedro Buenrostro Happy birthday Shigeru! I just wanted to let you know how much of an impact you've had on my life, The most vivid memory I have of my childhood is that of my fourth birthday when I received my Nintendo Entertainment system and opened it up, only to play for hours on end and beg my dad when he got home from work to play Super Mario Brothers with me. I have enjoyed the games you have been involved in over the past years and hope that you give us (gamers) plenty more! Marshall Peterman Wrangell, Alaska Zelda: A link to the past Happy Birthday ive played almost all of your games and not one has been even remotly bad.

Thanks for bringing me into gaming, as well. Joshua L. Bradley Madison, Virginia The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Happy Birthday Miyamoto! I'm thankful for this opertunity to thank you in some small way for all the joy you've brought me over the years. I've been playing games for over thirteen years now; Mario Brothers was my first. Your games in particular have touched my soul, they've made me laugh, and cry, and smile, and think, and, most of all, they've inspired me. As I played as the young boy Link, I found I confidence in myself: I knew that no matter how daunting the evil may look, I can overcome it. Thank you for a million smiles and for inspiring one boy to dream big and never give up. You have truly made my life better. Thank you, and I pray that you have a wonderful 50th birthday! And remember, "Time flows on like a river." Tom Quitoni Las Vegas, Nevada Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Quite simply the greatest mind and most influential designer/creator the industry has ever known. I still look forward to his creations after 17 years of gaming. May you have another 50 years of unbridled creativity coupled with your trademark sense of fun! You are the reason I got into the game industry. Thank you for almost 2 decades of top notch entertainment! Dean Law Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Super Mario Sunshine Just happy birthday. Dave Adams Fort Wayne, Indiana The Legend of Zelda I love your work so much! I am an amateur artist and designer, and you are a source of so much inspiration to me. I love the way you set your games apart - how you keep things simple, yet are able to make people really think. I love it! You are my hero. Thank you for all your hard work. I have been playing your games since 1989, I have always liked them. I can't begin to tell you how Zelda made me feel as a boy. It made me want to go out and be like Link. I am not sure if you know that feeling, but thanks for giving it to me. Its been good Mr. Miyamoto. I look forward to whatever you make! You are my hero! Arnar Freyr Böðvarsson Reykjavik, ICELAND All Miyamoto games are great! I would like to say happy birthday but aswell THANK YOU for bringing us all these great games you´ve made. It´s been wonderful years for me and much of my joy-time has been spent playing your games. I sincerely hope you will go on for many years to come, because masterminds like you aren´t many. Let´s just say there is just one, and that is you. Please don´t leave this industry in the near future, you have so much left in you. I believe that. You are the reason why I trust and love Nintendo. You are the reason why I love games. You are the reason why games exist. What I admire is not only your focus on bringing us good quality games, but also how you follow your own instincts in making them. You don´t follow others, others follow you. It´s all about following the leader but no one can follow you. You are the greatest ever! I hope you have a pleasant birthday and I wish you well in the coming years. Jonathan Dery Townsend, MA Every Legend of Zelda ever made. My name is Jon Dery. I would like to wish you the happiest of birthdays. I, too was born on November 16 and I consider it a great honor to share a birthday with you. Your games are very special to me and I will play them for the rest of my life. Thank you for all of the magical fun. C. Filipe Medeiros San Jose, CA The Legend of Zelda Happy Birthday Mr. Miyamoto. You have been one of the most influential men in game design and we, fans of your work, thank you for it. I first played Mario Bros. when I was 5 - and since then, I knew what I wanted to do. You inspired me to begin my journey as a game developer so long ago, and I can only hope to strive to the same level of quality you continue to put forth year after year. I submitted a level design to CAPCOM - let's keep our fingers crossed! Basically put, Mr. Miyamoto, we are honored to have you making games, and I wish you many years of health, happiness, and fortune. I hope that our birthday messages will bring you even a fraction of the joy you've brought us over the years. Francisco Alvarez Weston, Florida The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Happy Birthday Mr. Miyamoto! I have loved all your games! My first game created by you was Ocarina of Time. I absolutely loved it. That game made me into a true-blue Nintendo fan, as well as a hardcore gamer. After playing Majora's Mask (and beating it), I went back and played all the old Zelda games. And besides Zelda GCN's cel-shaded graphics (which suprised me at first), I am still waiting for it more than any other game. I also love all the Mario titles, just not as much as I love the Zelda games. Well, I hope you have a happy birthday. Pier Paolo, Soriente Rome, Italy Super Mario World Hi Shigeru, I can't speak english very well, but I'd like to wish you a happy birthday.

I have been a big fan of all of your games, and hope that this has been your best birthday ever! Daniel Smukalla Waterford, Wisconsin Happy Birthday Shigeru Miyamoto! I hope you have a lot of fun on your birthday. Take a nice day off for your self. I know you are busy with Zelda and other projects, but you deserve a day off. You have been putting out great games you whole life. I have never played a game by you that is not considered a classic to me. I have so many great memories because of the games you made. I always played Mario with my brothers on Nintendo and Super Nintendo. I will never forget those days. Mario 64 was so weird the first time I played it. Full 3D! It was amazing. Majora's Mask is my second favorite game ever made, with Ocarina of Time in third. The greatest game that I have ever played though is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I still play it to this day. I can't even describe in words how I feel about that game. I love it! I can't wait for Zelda Game Cube. I love the new look and I believe that it could be one of the best Zelda games. Your games just keep getting better! Because of you, I am going to be a game maker. I hope one day I will meet you. Your fan. Jacco Kroese Maarssen, Utrecht (Holland) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Dear Mr. Miyamoto. I'm Jacco Kroese, and I'm a big fan of your games. Back in 1996, I got the Nintendo 64 for Christmas with Mario Kart 64. Since that time I completed the game, I was a big fan of your games. I hope you'll make more games just like the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 'cause I love the game! there's so much to explore, and I like the whole Zelda serie. Also Mario Sunshine is very funny to play, but sometime (for example: the playgrounds) I think I would never make it. But as always I will overwin the game, and get a Shine! Well, I hope you'll stay very at Nintendo, and make more fantastic games! Happy birthday Mr. Miyamoto!! Yours faithfully, Jacco Kroese. Kenneth Lopez Fort Lauderdale, Florida Zelda: Ocarina Of Time The big 5-0 wow! Miyamoto, Happy Birthday!

Many days pass and I play bad video games, unenjoyable and boring ones. I think to myself, why do I play games? Then it always occurs to me, I only play in hope that I can experience a truly mesmerising game. And when I think of these sorts of games, I think of you. You have an amazing ability to make games that are epic, enjoyable, inspiring, deep, creative, different and most of all fun. You are a miraculous person. It is inspiring that someone could do so many wondrous works in only fifty years, many of which were not spent making games. To many like me you are like a god or even a deity. You are the father of games and creativity. And you know you're special when you have a site like Miyamoto Shrine so dedicated to you. And so, everyone congratulates you on your fiftieth birthday. I hope you have a wonderful time and that you have many more joyous years. I look forward to writing something like this in another fifty years. Finally, thank you. Oliver Barich Burlington, Ontario Super Mario Bros. & Ocarina of Time I would just like to wish you a very hapy birthday and all the best wishes.
