The da Vinci code is fictional and has no historical basis, if you weren't aware.

In this context, that's like telling a 5-yrs old that Santa Claus doesn't exist

If they were smoking something (you know it's true), it obviously affected how they viewed motion, look at the horrible animation.

Russian Animation is rather alien to begin it with and the Zeldas were the first time the animators had to use computer. Animation Magic's later works are a smidge better.

The actual games looks pretty terrible (and not just because of the animation) but the music is actually pretty good and the hand-painted backgrounds are beautiful. For what it's worth, Hardcore Gaming 101 defend the series here.

Animation Magic later did Mutant Rampage:Body Slam  (also on the CD-I) and  I.M Meen (DOS). I.M Meen is a terrible Doom Clone with half-assed attempts at making it educational but Mutant Rampage actually looks kind of decent. They were also working on a Warcraft game (Lord of the Thrones or something) but that was cancelled.
