the legend of zelda
The Legend of Zelda (ゼルダの伝説, Zelda no Densetsu) is a high fantasy action-adventure video game series developed and published by Nintendo and created by the famous game designer Shigeru Miyamoto.
The gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, puzzle solving, role-playing, and occasional platforming, stealth, and racing elements. The series centers around Link, the sole playable character and hero, and is usually set in the land of Hyrule. Link is often given the task of rescuing Princess Zelda from Ganondorf, the primary villain of the series.
The story commonly involves a relic known as the Triforce, a set of three golden triangles of omnipotence. The hero in each game is not always the same iteration of Link, although the same character sometimes appears across multiple games.
