The Legend of Zelda is among the most beloved game franchises of all time. Take the role of Link in a quest to collect the eight pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, which has been shattered by the evil Ganon. The top-down perspective and puzzle-solving dungeon adventuring set a formula that made Nintendo a household name. The NES original sold more than six million copies, and spawned a succession of sequels whose popularity endures to this day. Start a new game by inputting your name and you’re ready to go. You’re unarmed to begin with, but an old man will soon fix that, with the immortal words: ‘It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!’
