Template:Game Zelda's Adventure is a video game developed by Viridis and released for the Philips CD-i in 1994. It is the third The Legend of Zelda series game released for the console, following the release of The Faces of Evil and The Wand of Gamelon a year prior, which were developed separately by Animation Magic. Zelda's Adventure boasts an entirely unique design in comparison to the previous CD-i Zelda titles, emphasizing the difference in production between Viridis and the developer of its predecessors.
A product of a compromise between Nintendo and Philips due to their failure to release a CD-ROM based add-on to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System,[1] Zelda's Adventure, alongside the other two, are the only licensed The Legend of Zelda games developed for and released on a non-Nintendo system. The games have been subject to much criticism, and Nintendo does not recognize them as canon to the Zelda series.[2]
Story
The lands of Hyrule and Tolemac, a region southeast of Hyrule, are in the middle of an Age of Darkness; Ganon (referred to in-game as "Gannon") recently kidnapped Link and began exerting his influence over the land. He had stolen the seven Celestial Signs and hidden them away in Tolemac's shrines, guarded by his minions.[3] In need of a brave warrior to save the kingdom, the astronomer Gaspra chooses and summons Princess Zelda as his champion to undertake the dangerous task of relocating the Celestial Signs, to rescue Link, and to ultimately defeat Ganon and bring Hyrule to an "Age of Lightness".[4]
Gameplay
Unlike the previous two CD-i Zelda games, which are platforming sidescrollers like The Adventure of Link, Zelda's Adventure incorporates a similar top-down view reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda. The story is told through live-action, full-motion-video cut-scenes filmed in Los Angeles on blue screen.
