Real-world information
The Legend of Zelda (THE HYRULE FANTASY ゼルダの伝説) is an action-adventure game originally released on the Famicom in Japan on February 21, 1986, and on the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America on July 29, 1987 and in Europe on November 27, 1987. It is the first installment of The Legend of Zelda series. The game takes place in the land of Hyrule where the evil Ganon, bearer of the Triforce of Power, captures Princess Zelda, bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom. To prevent Ganon from stealing her Triforce, she scatters it into fragments, hiding it throughout the land. Playing as Link, a courageous swordsman that wears a distinct green outfit, he must journey throughout Hyrule to save the Princess Zelda and rebuild the Triforce of Wisdom. For that, he must defeat the minions of the evil Ganon in each of the eight dungeons in order to obtain the fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom. The game is set in the Fallen Hero timeline, where Ganondorf, the precursor to Ganon, managed to defeat the Hero of Time in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The game is primarily non-linear, giving the player the option to choose different paths on what dungeons to complete, what items to obtain and buy, and ways to discover secrets. It is played on a top down view setup, meaning Link can move in four different directions using the D-Pad. The A button allows Link to swing his sword, while the B button can be assigned to equip different items, such as a Power Bracelet to push rocks on the overworld. After completing the game for the first time, the player can then access a harder Second Quest mode that changes the placement of items and makes enemies stronger. The Second Quest can also be access by trying "ZELDA" as the player's name.

The Nintendo Entertainment System port of the game was notable for being the first console game to include a battery for saving data. The game sold 6.51 million copies worldwide, becoming the sixth best selling game on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
