| |
| − | '''''The Legend of Zelda''''' (Japanese: '''ゼルダの伝説''' ''Zelda no Densetsu'') is a [[Nintendo]] franchise that debuted with a title on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1986 (Japan release) and 1987 for American and European gamers. Nintendo has managed to release a title of the series for each handheld and console system, except the short-lived [[Virtual Boy]].
| |

| − | Titles in the series typically follow the adventures of a young man named {{zw|Link}} as he journeys throughout a land (often {{zw|Hyrule}}), battling monsters to ultimately save the captive {{zw|Princess Zelda}}, who is often being held by the wicked {{zw|Ganondorf}}. Retellings, often with artistic liberties, of the games' plots are available through several paperback novels and mangas. Original stories can also be found as paperback novels.

| |
| − | [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] is known to be the primary creator of the series and its characters. He has said that he was inspired by the ''{{wp|Lord of the Rings}}'' saga and his own exploration of caves near his childhood home. [[Eiji Aonuma]] has taken lead development roles on each game since {{zel2|Majora's Mask}}, with Miyamoto watching over the games' development to see how it goes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Capcom]] and [[Flagship]], two third-party developers, are responsible for the games which appeared on the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]], while [[Nintendo of America]] is typically credited with creating the pseudo-minigame ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Three games released for the [[Philips CD-i]] were created by Animation Magic (''{{zw|Link: The Faces of Evil}}'' and ''{{zw|Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon}}'') and Viridis (''{{zw|Zelda's Adventure}}'') and published by [[Philips Media]], due to a broken deal with Philips to produce a CD-based addon to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]. These games are considered by most fans to not be canon and are not acknowledged as such by Nintendo, though the games' poorly-animated cutscenes have been frequently used as a source in many remixes posted on YouTube.
