NARRATION: He had never designed a video game. Hired to make toys, he would save an industry.
Shigeru Miyamoto grew up outside Kyoto, a daydreamer who loved drawing more than school.
As a boy, he crawled into a dark cave with a lantern, into chambers that haunted him.
He studied industrial design at Kanazawa, unsure what a boy who sketched monsters would become.
In 1977, he joined Nintendo as an artist, not an engineer.
Then they handed the artist a failing arcade project to fix.
He invented a carpenter, an ape, a captured girl: the 1981 hit Donkey Kong birthed Mario.
Games had crashed in 1983, called a dead fad. Super Mario Bros revived them in 1985.
A year later came The Legend of Zelda, that childhood cave reborn as a world.
The boy who wandered the hills turned wonder into worlds millions call home.
