The Legend of Zelda is an iconic video game series by Nintendo that first appeared in 1986.
At the heart of the story is the young hero Link, who protects the kingdom of Hyrule from dark forces. He usually tries to rescue Princess Zelda and defeat the antagonist Ganon.
The series combines action, adventure, and puzzles in an open game world.
Typical for the series are dungeons where players find keys, equipment, and new abilities. Many games feature elements like the Master Sword, magical artifacts, and time travel. Link often explores various regions – from forests and deserts to mountains.
The series stands out with its atmospheric music, creative gameplay mechanics, and deep storytelling. Each game offers new interpretations of the main characters and their roles.
Titles like Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and Breath of the Wild are considered milestones.
Breath of the Wild introduced revolutionary open-world gameplay in 2017 and received numerous awards. It allowed players to explore the world completely freely. The sequel Tears of the Kingdom builds on that and significantly expands the gaming experience.
Zelda is not just a game, but a cultural heritage that has shaped generations.
The mix of nostalgia, innovation, and mythology makes it one of the most significant game series of all time.
