Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Entertainment System (also known as the NES) is the first home console developed and released by Nintendo. It was first released in Japan, where it is known as the Family Computer (also known as the Famicom). The first two games of The Legend of Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, saw an overseas release on this console from their original release on Family Computer Disk System. In 1994, the former title was re-released in Japan on a Family Computer cartridge format. Rather than the usual gray, the two Zelda titles were each released in a gold-colored cartridge.
