[b]The Legend of Zelda[/b] (ゼルダの伝説, [i]Zelda no Densetsu[/i]) is a high fantasy action-adventure video game series developed and published by [[Nintendo]] and created by the famous game designer [[Miyamoto Shigeru|Shigeru Miyamoto]].

The gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, puzzle solving, role-playing, and occasional platforming, stealth, and racing elements. The series centers around [[Link]], the sole playable character and hero, and is usually set in the land of Hyrule. Link is often given the task of rescuing [[Princess Zelda]] from [[Ganondorf]], the primary villain of the series.

The story commonly involves a relic known as the [[Triforce]], a set of three golden triangles of omnipotence. The hero in each game is not always the same iteration of Link, although the same character sometimes appears across multiple games.
