At tonight's Spike VGA awards, Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage to accept an award for the induction of The Legend of Zelda into the hall of fame. He took the stage like a champ, coming out of the floor and fog to accept the applause and eventually a standing ovation. His peers looked on in adoration.
Miyamoto gracefully accepted, giving a short speech in English. He said that he and everyone else at Nintendo are humbled at the love and support for the Zelda series.
This was the first Spike VGA Hall of Fame honor awarded.
You go, boy. Zelda forever.

AND HE FUCKING FROWNED, MAN. MIYAMOTO DOESN'T FROWN. D:
Still, great award!
He is far too good to bother with that show, but at least he gets a fancy doorstop now.
Skyward Sword is my GOTY and I love the Zelda franchise but this is a complete farce and anybody who takes it seriously should be ashamed.
NOBODY MAKES MAKES MIYAMOTO FROWN!!!!
*takes out Viking Axe and shield*
So did I.
I know I got into game creation due to this man. It would be my DREAM to meet him in my lifetime.
Their Hall of Fame was created THIS YEAR. Zelda's the first inductee.
You clearly haven't played Skyward Sword, and if you did, you clearly didn't get it.
As for the note, I think Spike VGA Hall of Fame should feel honored for Miyamoto accepting their award.
