If you're the type who likes to go into a bookstore now and then, you might have seen various kinds of books that have taken cues from pop-culture and explored them in new and fascinating ways, such as Philosophy Behind The Matrix, The Science of Star Wars, and The Wisdom of Harry Potter.

Now, it seems that video games are getting into the act, as late November will see The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy come to Amazon:

With both young and adult gamers as loyal fans, The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game series ever created. The contributors to this volume consider the following questions and more: What is the nature of the gamer's connection to Link? Does Link have a will, or do gamers project their wills onto him? How does the gamer experience the game? Do the rules of logic apply in the game world? How is space created and distributed in Hyrule (the fictional land in which the game takes place)? How does time function? Is Zelda art? Can Hyrule be seen as an ideal society? Can the game be enjoyable without winning? The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy not only appeals to Zelda fans and philosophers but also puts video games on the philosophical map as a serious area of study. -- Amazon description

While I've been curious about the others, I may just have to add this one to my wishlist.
