About
the Game
The Legend of Zelda is a high fantasy action-adventure video game
series created by game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka
and developed and published by Nintendo. The gameplay consists of a
mixture of action, adventure, puzzle solving, and role-playing. The
series centers on Link, the main character, who is often given the
task of rescuing Princess Zelda and the setting of the series,
Hyrule, from Ganondorf, also known as Ganon. The story commonly
involves a relic known as the Triforce, a set of three golden
triangles of omnipotence.
How it Works
The Legend of Zelda games feature a mixture of puzzles, action,
adventure/battle gameplay, and exploration. Most Zelda games involve
locating and exploring dungeons, in which puzzles are solved and
enemies fought, then defeating the dungeon's boss. Each dungeon
usually has one major item inside, which is usually essential for
solving many of the puzzles in that dungeon and often plays a
crucial role in defeating that dungeon's boss.

Power-ups – Link’s power-ups include more powerful swords, shields,
boomerangs, candles, a ladder, a raft, bow and arrows, and a magic
wand.
World-like Environment - instead of having a static background or a
right-to-left scrolling background consider allowing your character
to walk left, right, up and down.
