Tonight the new broke that legendary comedic actor Robin Williams was found dead in his apartment of what's being speculated as an apparent suicide from asphyxiation. Rumors have circulated about Robin Williams struggles with sobriety as recent as within the last month including a return to a rehabilitation center. The world truly lost a great and talented artist and comedian. Having had roles in both film and TV dating back to the late 70's with Mork and Mindy, 1987's Good Morning Vietnam, 1989's Dead Poets Society, as well as Hook, Jumanji, Good Will Hunting, Alladin and Mrs. Doubtfire through the 90's, he also appeared in the smash hit franchise Night as the Museum and even alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar in the short lived sitcom, The Crazy Ones and these are just to name a small selection of his work. In short, the world of comedy has certainly lost a light and, to keep in theme with the blog, I also think it's important to acknowledge that Mr. Williams was a fan of a very famous and well known video game franchise, so much so in fact that he named his daughter, Zelda Williams, after it's princess. Take a look at this father and daughter duo promoting the Legend of Zelda: the Skyward Sword and the admittedly tougher to watch, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
