Welcome to the expansive world of The Legend of Zelda: The Adventure of Link for the NES! Unlike its predecessor, Zelda II introduced a unique blend of gameplay styles. While towns, palaces (dungeons), caves, and combat encounters unfold in a side-scrolling action-RPG perspective, navigating the vast land of Hyrule happens via a top-down World Map. This map serves as the connective tissue for Link’s epic quest to awaken Princess Zelda and prevent Ganon’s return.
The Hyrule depicted in The Adventure of Link is vast, covering multiple continents and diverse terrains, filled with secrets, dangers, and essential locations. Understanding the map is key to mastering the game.
