Traveling across a world map would lead to enemy encounters which took place on a side-scrolling field of play rather than the top down perspective for which the series became known.
A few years after the defeat of Ganon and the rescue of Princess Zelda , Link , now at the age of sixteen, [17] is disturbed by the appearance of a mark on the back of his hand. Upon seeing this mark, Impa , the nurse of Princess Zelda, tells him the story of how, ages ago, the King of Hyrule had hidden a third part of the Triforce , the Triforce of Courage, in the Great Palace to safeguard it from evil.
Upon the death of the king, his son had searched for the missing Triforce, but its location had been imparted only to the king's daughter, Princess Zelda. Angered upon learning this, the Prince tried to use the power of a Magician to force the truth from his sister. After she refused, the wizard cast a spell upon her to put her into a deep sleep, which caused the wizard to die soon after. Only by uniting the Triforce of Courage with its counterparts, Link would be able to awake the sleeping Princess Zelda.
Upon hearing this tale, Link receives from Impa six crystals that serve as keys to open the seal on the Great Palace. As Link learns all of this, the minions of Ganon begin to attack once again. Believing that they could revive their master by pouring the blood of Link over his ashes, they begin to spread across the land, seeking for him.
Eventually, Link is able to gain the Triforce of Courage. The Adventure of Link was the sequel to the highly acclaimed The Legend of Zelda , and the second Zelda game released.
Like its predecessor, The Adventure of Link features dungeons that must be located in the overworld. Inside them, Link can find a boss and an item that will prove useful. However, the game features many and very significant gameplay changes from the previous installment. Combat is restricted to the Sword and Shield. The main projectile weapon is the Sword Beam , which can only be used when Link has full health.
The game also lacks recovery Hearts , meaning that Link can only recover his health by leveling up, using the Life Magic, finding Fairies or Heart Containers , or by talking to some women in towns. The game features a more prominent use of a side-scrolling perspective, which is used when Link is exploring a town, cavern, secret open field, bridge, or dungeon. The top-view perspective is only used when moving through the overworld.
In addition, when an enemy group represented in the overworld map as black-colored creatures manages to make contact with Link, the perspective changes to a side-scrolling one, where Link must either defeat the enemies or flee.
When Link is on a side-scrolling perspective, he is able to use Magic. Each Magic can be used either for attack, defense, or solving puzzles. Each ability consumes a certain amount of Magic Points on Link's Magic Meter , and while their effects are of unlimited time, they automatically cancel after Link reaches a new room.
There are eight Magic Spells in total:. As Link defeats enemies, he gains Experience points. When a certain number of points is reached, Link can increase the level of his health, attack, or Magic up to level 8. D Pad: Moves Link around and selects his secondary item [1].
A: Sword Attack [2]. B: Secondary Item [3]. Start: Brings up the sub screen [4]. Select: Moves the cursor on the save select screen and pauses [5]. When the player registers a file name, they start a new game and create a name for the file.
In elimination mode, the player is able to erase one of the files so they are able to start a new game on that file. The numbers below the name of a file represent the number of game overs that occurred while playing on that particular file.
The hearts under "Life" represent the amount of remaining health in Link's quest. They had set out to make the games opposite of one another. Mario would follow a linear pathway, while The Legend of Zelda would have a more open world experience. Shigeru Miyamoto got the idea of the open world experience from his childhood, where he would go out exploring into the wilderness.
Instead, Miyamoto wanted gamers to relax and enjoy themselves as they made their way through the adventure. It was because of this that some basic gameplay elements, such as communicating with characters and shop owners were included.
The name for Princess Zelda was inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald. Miyamoto stated, "Zelda was the name of the wife of the famous novelist Francis Scott Fitzgerald. She was a famous and beautiful woman from all accounts, and I liked the sound of her name.
So I took the liberty of using her name for the very first Zelda title. On February 21, , The Legend of Zelda released as a launch title for the Famicom Disk System ; it was released alongside several other titles including a re-release of Super Mario Bros, along with a number of sports titles. The story of The Legend of Zelda is very simple and follows most fairy tale ideas; Princess gets captured by a giant monster, hero must save princess, hero travels all over the land to save princess, hero defeats monster and saves princess.
The only hint to a story and motivation of saving the princess was a short paragraph at the beginning of the game. Here it is, keep in mind that this is the original NES English localization:. A long, long time ago the World was in an age of Chaos. In the middle of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule , a legend was being handed down from generation to generation, the legend of the " Triforce "; golden triangles possessing mystical powers.
One day, an evil army attacked this peaceful little kingdom and stole the Triforce of Power. This army was led by Ganon , the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World into fear and darkness under his rule.
Fearing his wicked rule, Princess Zelda , the princess of this kingdom, split the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce from the clutches of the evil Ganon. At the same time, she commanded her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa , to secretly escape into the land and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Ganon. Upon hearing this, Ganon grew angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent out a party in search of Impa.
Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from her pursuers. As she reached the very limit of her energy she found herself surrounded by Ganon's evil henchmen.
What could she do? But wait! All was not lost. A young lad appeared. He skillfully drove off Ganon's henchmen, and saved Impa from a fate worse than death. His name was Link. During his travels he had come across Impa and Ganon's henchmen. Impa told Link the whole story of the princess Zelda and the evil Ganon.
Burning with a sense of justice, Link resolved to save Zelda, but Ganon was a powerful opponent. He held the Triforce of Power. And so, in order to fight off Ganon, Link had to bring the scattered eight fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom together to rebuild the mystical Triangle. If he couldn't do this, there would be no chance Link could fight his way into Death Mountain where Ganon lived.
Can Link really destroy Ganon and save the Princess Zelda? Only your skill can answer that question. Good luck. Use the Triforce wisely. In when A Link to the Past was released, it was a distant prequel to the first two Zelda titles.
Over the next 20 years, the series expanded rapidly with new games and the timeline became a bit more blurry. The Legend of Zelda had a direct timeline placement with The Adventure of Link and A Link to the Past , but very little in relation to the rest of the series. It was revealed that there were three outcomes branching from Ocarina of Time.
One of the outcomes involved Link failing to defeat Ganondorf and is often referred to as the "Downfall" or "Decline" branch of the timeline.
The Legend of Zelda was a huge commercial success, having become one of the highest selling titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game sold 6. The Legend of Zelda was given Hall of Fame status, being one of the all-time greatest titles and having been on the charts for a record 76 months.
The Legend of Zelda was paramount in establishing the Action-Adventure genre. Some games such as 3D Dot Game Heroes have been cited as being almost exact replicas of the Zelda series.
The original The Legend of Zelda started the Legend of Zelda, a series that has lasted over 25 years and featured over 20 games, including the various side stories and multiplayer games, while selling over 60 million games as of The Legend of Zelda was one of the most highly acclaimed games of all time and this warranted several re-releases. The game's first re-release was on the Nintendo Famicom as a cartridge title in , as the game had first been released for the Famicom Disk System years before.
Several other Legend of Zelda titles have since been released onto the Virtual Console. In gratitude for purchasing the system earlier at the higher price, early adopters became part of the Ambassador program, getting ten free NES games and ten free GBA games for download. It originally released in Japan on August 28th, , [17] and became available in North America on September 29th, With the release of the Nintendo Switch Online Service, a piece of software allows the user to play games originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Included with the first selection of games was The Legend of Zelda , which was simultaneously released on September 19th, September 18th in the Americas. In this version, two players are able to play together, where one player controls Link, and the other can view the gameplay. The two players can switch roles at any time.
As a follow up to the release of the original game, on October 10th, October 9th in the Americas a 'Special Edition' was added to the NES online app, on the Switch. This version of the game is aimed towards newer players, as Link starts the game with 6 hearts, Rupees, 9 Keys, 8 Bombs, as well as certain items, including the White Sword, the Magical Shield, the Blue Ring, and more.
This version of the game is dubbed The Legend of Zelda - Living the life of luxury! A red banner is omnipresent on the border of the game, denoting that it is the special edition. The description given to the game is as follows:. But if Ganon's still giving you a hard time, the power of money will overcome! Just buy yourself some more items and give it another shot! Beating the game once grants you access to a more difficult version of the game called Second Quest.
Each of the first nine Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda is shaped in a specific design, which corresponds to the name of the dungeon. The first labyrinth is referred to as the Eagle , while the fourth dungeon is referred to as the Snake.
The third dungeon of the game is referred to as the Manji , and it is in the shape of a left-facing Swastika. The term Manji is actually a Japanese character and it is very common in Japanese culture. Because of this, it slipped into the game without considering the sensitivity of the symbol.
The Manji is considered offensive in western countries due to its relationship to Nazism, though the Nazi swastika faces the opposite direction of the Manji. All versions of the game include a cross on Link's Shield.
However, in virtually all pieces of merchandise , Link's shield is shown in a solid color. This is likely due to the sensitivity of religion in western countries. Furthermore, in the Japanese version of the game, the Book of Magic was referred to as the Bible.

With this game being the first in the franchise, it is the first time Hyrule is portrayed, and it is divided into numerous parts and landscapes, such as the Lost Woods , Death Mountain , a central lake, a forest , a graveyard , and a shore; as Link walks through them, he manages to find the hidden labyrinths where the fragments of the Triforce are kept.
It's unknown whether or not the nameless regions reappeared in later games with official names. Unlike most overworlds in The Legend of Zelda series, this incarnation of Hyrule is entirely explorable from the beginning, meaning that Link can go to almost any corner and space of it, with a total absence of linearity.
It should be noted that the overworld remains largely unchanged in the Second Quest , with the only changes being the locations of the labyrinths and of special prizes. According to the timeline revealed in Hyrule Historia , The Legend of Zelda takes place in the "Downfall" branch, which, in a whole, takes place after Ocarina of Time.
After the king 's death and the attempt of the Prince of Hyrule to assemble the complete Triforce, Hyrule was lead into the 'Era of Decline'. Six years later, the events of The Adventure of Link take place.
Both this game and its sequel are linked in continuity, since the first game revolves around retrieving two of the major fragments of the Triforce, and Ganon is fought in order to rescue Princess Zelda ; the second game revolves around finding the third major fragment in order to revive an incarnation of Zelda that was comatose for a very long time, and to impede the revival of Ganon.

The gameplay is similar to the original, but differs as the game's central heroes are the mascot characters of the BS-X Broadcasting System, who are otherwise supposed to be based on the player as the character's name and gender is associated with the broadcasting ID.
Aside from the initial green tunic, the male character wears a backwards baseball cap, and the female character has long red hair. This version notably provided a different and more accurate translation of the game script, which was used in most subsequent ports of the game.
Animal Crossing , also released in , includes a number of emulated NES games as furniture pieces, though some are inaccessible without a cheating device. The Legend of Zelda is one such unobtainable game. The Wii Virtual Console port was released in in most regions, releasing alongside the launch of the service. The 3DS Virutual port was initially available on August 31, , as one of the games eligible for free download as part of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program, a service available to players who bought a 3DS before its price dropped on August 11, The Wii U Virtual Console port was released in Nearly all Virtual Console ports uses the updated changes from the Collector's Edition version, with the exception of the 3DS Virtual Console port, which instead uses the original game's script.

It returns as part of the Masterpieces library of Super Smash Bros. The Legend of Zelda is the first installment in the Zelda franchise, and its success allowed the development of sequels.
In one or another way, nearly every title in the series is influenced by this game in such ways as:. The Moblin 's quote "It's a secret to everybody" has become a popular meme among gamers over the years. It is first referenced in A Link to the Past when Link brings a chest to a man who stands next to a sign outside of the desert.
He offers to open the chest under the condition that Link will "keep it secret from everyone else". It is also referenced in Ocarina of Time. It is even referenced in Twilight Princess when in Center Castle Town , Link can enter a door and walk up to a balcony, where a Goron sees the golden force around Hyrule Castle.
He admits that he has kept it "a secret to everybody.
