Published and developed by Nintendo Co., Ltd., this video game was released in 1986.

In one of the darkest periods in the Kingdom of Hyrule, Link, a young, pointy-eared boy, takes on an epic quest to bring back the fragmented Triforce of Wisdom and rescue the Princess Zelda from the control of the evil and powerful Ganon. Players have to make their way through the various forests, graveyards, plains and deserts of the Overworld in order to find the secret entrances of the eight dungeons, and piece together the broken Triforce. As soon as all the pieces are joined, Link will be able to gain entry to Death Mountain – Ganon’s home and the prison of Princess Zelda.

The games features a full world that can be freely explored, power-ups that can permanently enhance the character's abilities, and also a battery back-up save feature which allows players to keep their progress, instead of starting over. The game play combines frequent action sequences with discovery, secrets and exploration.
