Legend of Zelda: The Adventure of Link

The Adventure of Link is a direct sequel to the original The Legend of Zelda, again involving the protagonist, Link, on a quest to save Princess Zelda, who has fallen under a sleeping spell. The Adventure of Link’s emphasis on side-scrolling and role-playing elements was a significant departure from its predecessor. For much of the series’ three decade history, the game served as the only technical sequel to the original title, as all other entries in the series were either prequels or occurred in an alternative reality, according to the official Zelda timeline.
