'''''Link: The Faces of Evil''''' is a video game released for the [[Philips CD-i]] in 1993. It was developed by [[Animation Magic]] and published by [[Philips Media]] alongside ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]''. ''The Faces of Evil'' is very similar to ''The Wand of Gamelon'' in aspects, except that it features different main characters, plot, enemies, and level design. Both games, as well as ''[[Zelda's Adventure]]'', are the only ''The Legend of Zelda'' games where [[Nintendo]] was not involved in the their development.

'''''Link: The Faces of Evil''''' is a video game released on the [[Philips CD-i]] in 1993, and was released on the same date as ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]''. Both games are considered to be among the worst games of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise. ''The Faces of Evil'' is very similar to ''The Wand of Gamelon'' in aspects, except that it features different main characters, plot, enemies, and level design. The game was developed by [[Animation Magic]] and published by [[Philips Media]]. Both are the only ''The Legend of Zelda'' games where [[Nintendo]] has not been involved in the game's development.


While both games initially received mixed reviews, they are infamous for their extreme negative reception in contemporary reviews and retrospectives, and they are often considered the worst games in ''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise, as well as some of the worst games of all time. The CD-i games were ambiguously disowned from the franchise by [[Eiji Aonuma]].<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/news/2468188/eiji-aonuma-addresses-those-horrible-zelda-cd-i-games/ Eiji Aonuma Addresses Those Horrible 'Zelda' CD-i Games - MTV]</ref>

[[File:Gwonam opening cutscene.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gwonam reads a scroll, saying Link is the only person who can defeat Ganon]]
The story begins in [[Hyrule Castle]] where [[Link]] complains to [[King Harkinian]] about being bored. They both discuss the prospects of new adventure. Soon, Link's hopes are fulfilled as [[Gwonam]] arrives on a magic carpet and tells them that [[Ganon]] has taken over the island of [[Koridai]]. Gwonam explains that according to a prophecy, only Link can stop him. Link is flown to Koridai on Gwonam's magic carpet, and the wizard shows him the island's giant stone statues, collectively known as the [[Faces of Evil]], which Link must conquer.

Questing to rescue the Princess and to liberate Koridai, Link proceeds to defeat Ganon's minions; [[Goronu]], [[Harlequin]], [[Militron]], [[Lupay]], and [[Glutko]], from whom the [[Book of Koridai]] is retrieved. [[Aypo]] is capable of reading the book, and says that the Book itself is enough to defeat Ganon. Along the way, Link is sent by [[Suprena]] to [[Fortress Centrum]] to retrieve the "Treasure of Death". At the fortress, Link finds what appears to be a sleeping Zelda. Once awakened, however, the figure transforms into a resurrected Goronu. After defeating the sorcerer, Link retrieves the [[Crystal of Reflection]], allowing his shield to reflect curses.  
Questing to rescue the Princess and to liberate Koridai, Link is sent by the [[Ice Queen]] to [[Fortress Centrum]] to retrieve the [[Treasure of Death]]. At the fortress, Link finds what appears to be a sleeping Zelda. Once awakened, however, the figure transforms into [[Goronu]], a shapeshifting necromancer who works for Ganon. After defeating Goronu, Link retrieves the [[Crystal of Reflection]], allowing his shield to reflect curses. Link then proceeds to defeat Ganon's minions, which include the revived Goronu, [[Harlequin]], [[Militron]], [[Lupay]], and [[Glutko]], from which the [[Book of Koridai]] is retrieved. [[Aypo]] is capable of reading the book and says that the Book itself is enough to defeat Ganon.


After trekking through Ganon's Lair, Link finally reaches Ganon, who attempts to recruit Link with the promise of great power and the threat of death. Link throws the [[Book of Koridai]] to defeat Ganon, and then he awakens the real sleeping [[Princess Zelda]]. Gwonam appears and congratulates Link on imprisoning Ganon. He shows Link a recovering Koridai and declares him the island's hero. Link asks Zelda for a kiss, which she refused.

[[File:LFOE gameplay.jpg|thumb|200px|Link exploring the first area, [[Nortinka]].]]
The player plays as Link. At the start of Link's quest, there are three areas which are initially available and accessible through Gwonam's map. The player can access each area by moving the on-screen cursor over it and press Button One to select it.

Similar to ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', ''Link: The Faces of Evil'' features side-scrolling gameplay. Link is equipped with both a [[Smart Sword|sword]] and a [[shield]] at the start (even though Gwonam tells him that he only needs a sword). The sword is used to attack enemies and fire [[sword beam|power blast]]s, and the shield can deflect attacks from enemies. The shield automatically lifts when the player is standing still or crouching. Link can purchase other useful items at [[Morshu]]'s store, including [[Lantern Oil|lamp oil]], [[rope (item)|ropes]], and [[bomb]]s. The game uses "[[rupee|rubies]]" for currency, which Link can obtain from defeating enemies.

Link's health is measured in [[Heart Container|Life Heart]]s, which is displayed at the upper-left corner during gameplay. Link has three Life Hearts by default, but he can later obtain more. For each time that Link is injured, he loses as low as half of a Life Heart. When Links loses all of his Life Hearts, he earns a [[Game Over]]. For the first two Game Overs, the player is provided with an option of continuing from the entrance that Link entered the area from. When Link loses his Life Hearts a third time, he is returned to the map, and the player is forced to restart the level.

For each time that Link is injured, he loses as low as half of a Life Heart. When Links loses all of his Life Hearts, he earns a [[Game Over]]. For the first two Game Overs, the player is provided with an option of continuing from near the point where Link lost his last Life Heart. When Link loses his Life Hearts a third time, he is returned to the map, and the player is forced to restart the level.

==Locations==
Link: The Faces of Evil takes place entirely on [[Koridai]], a mountainous and volcanic island. A [[overworld|land map]] is used to travel between certain regions.
 
Three locations are initially available at the start of the game; Crater Cove, Goronu, and Nortinka. More locations are unlocked after hitting the Triforce Map at the end of specific stages.
 
===Faces of Evil===
The Faces of Evil are large, [[Dungeon|labyrinthian]] busts of Ganon and his minions, carved into the mountains of Koridai. Link must conquer each Face by defeating its owner and likeness. Almost every Face has a unique item acquired within it.
