The Legend of Zelda (Series)

Summary
The Legend of Zelda is an rpg created by Nintendo. The game stars Link, who has to save Princess Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda is the first game of the series. It was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game has a topdown view of Link. At the beginning of the game, you find a sword in a cave. You then proceed to collect all the pieces of the triforce to save Princess Zelda from Ganon.

The Legend of Zelda II; The Adventure of Link
The Adventure of Link is a side scrolling LoZ game.

A Link To The Past
This game originated on the SNES. This game is much like the original, but it has actual quests. This is a lot more intuitive and it includes things such as side quests. It starts off with Zelda appearing in Link's dream. Then his grandpa goes "out". He dies and he gives you his sword and tells you how to spin attack. Then you save the maiden (Zelda) and you go on a quest of a lifetime.

Link's Awakening
Link's Awakening is the first handheld Zelda game, released for the Gameboy. It has the same topdown view as A Link to the Past and The Legend Of Zelda, however instead of taking place in Hyrule it takes place on Koholint island. Instead of featuring a story where you gather the Triforce and rescue Zelda, you need to wake the Wind Fish, the deity guarding the island.

Ocarina of Time
This is staged right before the split into three different timelines (you'll see that at the end of the game). In this one you are a lonely forest kid. You fight a big spider and get to leave your home. You then go to Hyrule Castle and meet Zelda. After which she'll tell you how she doesn't like Ganondorf because of his eyes. You'll then go on a quest to stop Ganondorf. When you get the Triforce there is a 7 year time skip and Link becomes old enough to go to the milk bar. Most of Hyrule lays in ruin and castle town has lots of Redeads.

Breath of the Wild
BoTW is the newest Zelda game. It is an open world game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
In this game, it tells the story of Breath of the Wild 100 years before the game takes place giving it backstory while still being a Hyrule Warriors game.
