Nintendo saw what sony was doing with their experience in the field of cds and such,so thus they decided to partner with Phillips giving the the copyrights to many games.The '''Philips CD-i''' was a home multimedia device created by Philips. It was designed to play audio CDs and, with add-on hardware, Video CDs as well. Although designed as a general-purpose multimedia device, the CD-i is best known as a failed game console, in part because almost all of the games available were of very low quality, especially those licensed by Nintendo. The three Zelda games released for the CD-i are known within the fandom as the "Dark Triforce". It went with the side-scrolling style simalar to that of zelda 2 "the adventures of link". At the time nintendo was unaware that Phillips was making a game. And  today does not aknowledge the existence of them. When you talked to someone or killed a boss a cartoon showing these will play. These cartoons were odd and poorly done.

Story

Nintendo, after a failed attempt with Sony to create a console which used CDs, decided to partner with Phillips, giving the copyright to many of their franchises. The console was designed to play audio CDs and, with add-on hardware, Video CDs as well. Although designed as a general-purpose multimedia device, the CD-i is best known as a failed game console, in part because almost all of the games available were of very low quality, especially those licensed by Nintendo. Because the CD-i was seen as a game console by the general public, it did not sell well when compared to the more powerful and less expensive dedicated game consoles available at the time. Because the CD-i failed to sell well, Philips took it off the market in 1998.

TwoZelda games released for the CD-i went with the side-scrolling style of The Adventure of Link, while the third one went for a more classic top view. As today, Nintendo does not aknowledge the existence of all their licensed games released for the console due to their negative reception.
