The '''Family Computer Disk System''' (also called the '''Famicom Disk System''') is a peripheral for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Family Computer]] that was only released in Japan, on February 21, 1986. It enabled the Family Computer to play games that were released on a proprietary, two-sided floppy disk format known as the "Disk Cards". Disk Cards are rewritable and allowed players to save their game progress. ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' was released as a launch title for the Family Computer Disk System. A year later, in 1987, a sequel to the game was released, ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.

Many titles that were originally released on the Family Computer Disk System later saw a standard cartridge release, both in Japan and overseas. Instead of utilizing a Disk Card's rewritable memory, passwords and battery-backed memory were used to store save data. Both ''The Legend of Zelda'' and ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' were released on a cartridge format overseas, for the Nintendo Entertainment. In Japan, the first title saw a re-release as a Family Computer cartridge many years later, in 1994. Its sequel, ''Zelda II'', was never re-released on a Family Computer cartridge.
