* The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, an action-adventure video game for the Nintendo 64

Specifically, a Mario game ( titled Hotel Mario ), and three Legend of Zelda games were released: Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure.

Some well-known examples of this include the back scabbard depicted in the movie Braveheart and the back scabbard seen in the video game series The Legend of Zelda.

As of December 2011, The Legend of Zelda franchise has sold 67. 93 million copies since the release of the first game, with the original Legend of Zelda being the fourth best selling NES game of all time.

The Legend of Zelda franchise is the inaugural recipient of Spike TV's first ever Video Game Hall of Fame award.

The Legend Of Zelda games feature a mixture of action, puzzles, adventure / battle gameplay, exploration, and questing.

The original Legend of Zelda was the first console game with a save function that enabled players to stop playing and then resume later.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time introduced a targeting system that simplified 3D combat.

The Legend of Zelda series, like many Nintendo games, has been noted for its use of music.

Koji Kondo, who has been described as the " greatest legend in the video game audio industry " because of his work for Nintendo, has composed much of the music for the series, although the last game for which he was solely responsible for the composition of the soundtrack was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Games in The Legend of Zelda series frequently feature in-game musical instruments, particularly in musical puzzles, which are widespread.

Often, instruments trigger game events: for example, the recorder in The Legend of Zelda can reveal " secret " areas, as well as ' warp ' Link to the Dungeon entrances.

" The Legend of Zelda Theme " is a recurring piece of music that was created for the first game of the franchise.

To date, the Legend of Zelda series has avoided using voice actors, relying instead on written dialogue.

The Legend of Zelda was principally inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's explorations as a young boy in the hillsides surrounding his childhood home in Sonobe, Japan where he ventured into forests with secluded lakes, caves, and rural villages.

Paying tribute, he chose to name the princess after her, and titled his creation The Legend of Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda series takes place in a fantasy land called Hyrule.

The Legend of Zelda, the first game of the series, was first released in Japan on February 21, 1986, on the Famicom Disk System.

The game exchanged the top-down perspective for side-scrolling ( though the top-down point of view was retained for overworld areas ), and introduced RPG elements ( such as experience points ) not used in The Legend of Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II were released in gold-coloured game cartridges instead of the console's regular gray cartridges.

* A location in the land of Labrynna, from the video game Oracle of Ages of The Legend of Zelda series

" UGO Networks compared Four Swords to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, calling it " similarly gimmicky ".

The video games The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages use a similar concept to that which is used in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are two action-adventure games in The Legend of Zelda series, developed by Flagship ( a subsidiary of Capcom ).
