The next series entry would prove to the most popular of the bunch, redefining gameplay on game consoles for years to come. Widely considered one of the best video games ever made, Link’s Awakening firmly placed the series on the same echelon as Super Mario Bros. This game took place before the Legend of Zelda, incorporating new tools, a higher level of storytelling and harder puzzles. The original game was followed quickly by Link’s Adventure, an otherwise forgettable side-scrolling game that introduced a few basic RPG elements to the genre.įrom Link’s Adventure eventually came Link’s Awakening, the SNES game that began the process of making the series’ continuity virtually inaccessible. Players would solve basic puzzles and fight bosses who had repeating patterns, creating a genre of its own. The battery-save system allowed players to stretch their sessions across multiple systems, and the inventory and health system were incredibly complex for the time. The series started with The Legend of Zelda, a fairly basic isometric game that brought about a few major changes to the console market. Instead, the game used this remarkably common framework to create one of the best-known and best-loved video game franchises of all time. If it was all so simple, though, the series would have been just another forgettable exercise on the NES. The player controls a hero character (Link) on his quest to recover a magical item (the Triforce) to rescue a princess (the titular Zelda). The Legend of Zelda video game series is, at least at a glance, fairly simple.
