List of The Legend of Zelda media

The Legend of Zelda is a video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, and mainly developed and published by Nintendo. The series debuted with The Legend of Zelda^[a] in 1986. The Legend of Zelda video games have been developed exclusively for Nintendo video game consoles and handhelds, dating from the Family Computer Disk System to the Nintendo Switch 2. Spin-off titles, however, have been released on non-Nintendo systems. As of June 2025 the franchise's main series consists of 33 video games, including 21 original titles, 11 remakes and enhanced ports,^[b] and the collection The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition. As of 2007 over 52 million copies have been sold since the release of the first game.^[1] The franchise also includes an American cartoon adaptation, multiple comic book adaptations, as well as soundtracks.

Gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, puzzle-solving, and role-playing video games. The series centers on Link, the protagonist and player character in all but one of the main series. Link is often given the task of saving the world from Ganon, the series' primary antagonist and is aided by Princess Zelda, a mortal reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia. Games in The Legend of Zelda series with 2D graphics feature side-scrolling or overhead view gameplay, while games with 3D graphics give the player a third-person or fixed overhead perspective.^[2] The franchise holds several Guinness World Records, including the first game with a battery-powered save feature and the longest-running action-adventure series.^[3]

Oddo, Marco Vitto (June 18, 2021). "How Ocarina of Time Defined The Legend of Zelda Franchise". Collider. Let's start with the basics: Ocarina of Time is the first 3D Zelda game ever. We've had a lot of 2D Zelda games since Ocarina of Time and even more 3D Zelda games that used a fixed top-down camera to limit the field of vision of the player. Even so, every main title of the franchise — the ones Nintendo focused on for a [home] console release [as of 2021] — features a 3D camera that can be moved around freely by the player.
