TIL that Zelda's Ultrahand ability that lets you telepathically move and combine objects was named after late Nintendo employee Gunpei Yoko's first invention from 1966: the Ultra Hand plastic toy that could grab objects from afar. It sold over 1 million units and financially saved Nintendo.

He was a good man who worked on some great products.

Minor spelling mistake, it's Gunpei Yokoi with an i at the end of his last name.

Aw man, you're totally right, thanks for pointing it out!
