About Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda is a fantasy adventure game developed and published by Nintendo. Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka are the designers who created this famous franchise.  Though Nintendo is the primary developer and publisher, some of the re-releases and installments have been outsourced to Grezzo, Vanpool, and Capcom. The game was originally released in 1986 and has been expanded into 19 further entries available on all the major Nintendo Gaming consoles and related spin-offs. There has been an animated series based on The Legend of Zelda, which was aired in 1989. Nintendo also commissioned manga adaptations of the game, which was produced in Japan from 1997. Legend of Zelda is undoubtedly the most prominent and immensely successful game franchise and is considered one of the greatest video games of all time. The game is inspired by the ‘explorations’ by Shigeru Miyamoto. The story and the setting were developed by Takashi Tezuka, who sought to create a fairy tale adventure game. The backstory manual of the game was written by Keiji Terui. The franchise has managed to earn an estimated revenue of US $3.853 billion as of 2019. 

The series focuses on several incarnations of Link, a courageous young man named Hylian, who has elf-like pointed ears, and a princess named Zelda. The origins and backstory vary from each game, but the task of rescuing kingdom Hyrule from Ganon is constant in many editions of the series. Ganon is an evil warlord who is a demon and the principal antagonist in the game. Legend of Zelda features a mix of adventures, action, puzzles, gameplay, battle, and exploration. The plot changes in the series, but these elements are consistently present in each game. The player needs to go on an exploration spree and complete side quests to get rewarded. Each successful quest is rewarded with increased abilities and additional exploration areas. There are some tools and items which repeatedly appear in the game, like boomerangs that can paralyze an enemy, magic swords, bows, shields, etc. The franchises include some of the most famous game series such as Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Link’s Awakening DX, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Majora’s Mask, Four Swords, The Wind Waker and more. The most recent addition to the collection is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
