Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – Nintendo’s Most Misunderstood Masterpiece
When you first press start on Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, you immediately sense something different — something a little unsettling.

The Unsolved Mysteries of The Legend of Zelda
From the very beginning, The Legend of Zelda has been a series built on mystery. The original NES game simply drops you into a vast world.
