In a nutshell, it goes like this: Because not having a head in Skyrim makes the game think you’re dead, the Headless Horseman has to endure having his head blown off repeatedly every time he encounters him.

When he spawns, his head is destroyed, which happens out of the player’s line of sight, so you never see the Horseman lose his head. Still, it’s an interesting and rather disturbing detail to know that the ghost that wanders the paths of Skyrim becomes headless only moments before you meet him.

Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the most influential figures in gaming history. Without him, we’d be unlikely to have Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, and Pikmin. Despite his years of service, Miyamoto was still eager to work.

But, one day, he will hang up his red hat forever. To some, it may seem like a day for Nintendo to shake things up at its core, but to Miyamoto himself, things probably won’t change much for the company.

“I really don’t think it’s going to change,”Miyamoto pairNPRexplain. “Probably the same. You know, the people on the executive team, the creators inside the company and the people who made Mario, they all had this sense of what it meant to be Nintendo.“There’s always the fact that it’s a new idea,But the truth is, is this a new idea that really has the essence of Nintendo? “
