Game information

The Legend of Zelda centers on Link, who is often given the task of rescuing Princess Zelda and the kingdom of Hyrule from Ganon, who is the main antagonist of the series; however, other settings and antagonists have appeared in several titles. The games' plots commonly involve he Triforce, a set of three omnipotent golden triangles (the Triforce of Courage, given to Link; the Triforce of Wisdom; given to Zelda, and the Triforce of Power; given to Ganondorf). The protagonist in each game is usually not the same incarnation of Link, but a few exceptions exist. The franchise is also spread across three timelines, centered around the final battle in Ocarina of Time: one where Link kills Ganon, on where Link defeats Ganon, and one where Ganon defeats Link. The series features a wide variety of items for use in Link's arsenal, such as boomerangs, the Master Sword, his Hylian Shield, explosives, potions, and his hookshot. Most games take place in open-world, as many of them put emphasis on exploration. There was also a TV show and a manga based on the games.
