The '''''The Legend of Zelda''''' series is a series of action-adventure games that see different characters that are all called [[Link]] go on an adventure. The series started in 1986 and is primarily developed by [[Nintendo]]. The series' gameplay is often from either a top-down or third-person perspective.

==Gameplay==
''The Legend of Zelda'' series' gameplay focuses on combat and puzzle-solving mechanics. The combat in the 2D games often is about the player using their [[Sword]] and other [[Item]]s to hit enemies, while the 3D games also often have specific sword-based moves and targeting systems. The puzzle solving often requires the player to use items to manipulate the level. The player often has to retrieve items to progress such as the [[Triforce]], and in order to get the items the player often has to go through [[dungeon]]s, large levels that often revolve around a theme. Most dungeons give the player a new item which the dungeon is themed after, and the player often has to retrieve [[Small Key]]s to progress and [[Boss Key]]s to face the boss. Before and after the dungeons the player often has to interact with NPCs, which often give the player side-quests. The player can often collect [[Rupee]]s, which can be exchanged for goods. Certain games allow for a larger amount of exploration then others. By exploring and completing side-quests the player is often rewarded with [[Heart Container]]s, although this can vary per game.

-'''''The Legend of Zelda''''' is a series of action-adventure games that stars a character named [[Link]]. It is the main and titular component of the overall [[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise]], and most of its games are developed by [[Nintendo]].
