The Legend of Zelda is a classic video game franchise from Nintendo, beginning in 1986 with The Legend of Zelda, and is still going strong with the latest release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword released in late 2011.

The games mostly follow the same premise: the Princess Zelda is captured by the evil Ganon, and you play as Link, trying to rescue the princess.

In each game, Ganon’s evil plot follows the classic plot of trying to unite the three parts of the Triforce to try and rule Hyrule! The three parts are wisdom, power and courage. Ganon naturally represents power, Zelda represents wisdom and Link represents courage. It’s a classic battle of courage and wisdom versus power as Link and Zelda battle the evil villain Ganon and take back the world.

Most games begin with Ganon taking over most of the world, plunging it in darkness. Link must conquer the world back through the temples set up during the world. The world of Zelda is full of creatures that either aide or defy Link. Link must use these or battle against them to slowly take back the world before he goes one on one against Ganon to save Princess Zelda and the world!
