This series was effectively my introduction to Capcom, which has since remained one of my absolute favorite devs, constantly putting out games I adore. The style, the combination of Zelda and Mario (or at least that's how I saw it) mixed with the humor gave it a charm that has stuck with me ever since. It's also rather tragic as this was intended to be a trilogy, and we never got the third game. My hope (and it's a pipe dream) is that this could garner enough attention brought back to pc that Capcom could be pushed to give us the finale we never got. I'm not a good writer, but this series means a lot to me; I hope that comes across. I'd love to revisit it, and see others play it for the first time to see why it's so special to someone like me.
omg I forgot all about this game I remember my mom bought this for me cause I wanted an action game but she didnt want it to be |too violent" lmao so she got this for me :P it was good i liked it enough to beat it!

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Zelda II: The Adventure of LinkZelda II: The Adventure of Link is the second major installment in The Legend of Zelda series and the direct sequel to the first game.

However, the game presents many very important gameplay changes compared to the previous one, affecting especially the movements and the combat. Moving around the world map involves encounters with enemies that take place on a side-scrolling playfield rather than the top-down perspective for which the series became known.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom HourglassThe Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is the first Zelda game for the Nintendo DS and a direct sequel to The Wind Waker. The art direction is the same cel-shaded style as the Wind Waker but is displayed from a classic top-down perspective. The gameplay is structured similarly to other games in the series and is divided into two major gameplay sections: sailing between islands and exploring the islands and their dungeons on foot. The touch screen is used to make Link move and attack instead of buttons, you can also make notes of secret treasures and items on the map simply by writing them down. The game received critical acclaim from reviewers, who agreed that the game was a worthy sequel to The Wind Waker.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang. This version of the game has a completely inverted map and locations when comparing with the GameCube release. The change in layout was meant to adapt Link's usually left-handed design to right-handed people, given the motion controls.
