How to play Zelda games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s a library of Zelda games you can enjoy, each with different storylines and themes. We’ll give you a short intro for each of them as well as some info on how to play them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda Classic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zelda Classic<\/a> is a modern tribute to The Legend of Zelda, still considered one of the best video games ever. Zelda Classic has been developed into a replica of the NES version<\/strong>. But Zelda Classic allows new quests that can use traditional or enhanced graphics and introduce new challenges and enemies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you play Zelda Classic, why not play games in the original series so that you understand the background?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to play the Legend of Zelda<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though <\/strong>The Legend of Zelda came out decades ago, it\u2019s a quality game that works on all the major modern web browsers<\/strong> today. It\u2019s part of the Arcade, Adventure, Emulator, and NES gaming categories. It\u2019s the way to enter the world of the Zelda series and meet the main character, Link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To play, you must defeat many enemies while you search for the hidden pieces of the Triforce. When all eight pieces are reassembled, you will be able to enter the evil Gannon\u2019s lair, defeat him, and in so doing, save<\/strong> Zelda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other games in the series<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many other games in the series for you to play if you enjoy the first installment. They include The Legend<\/strong> of<\/strong> Zelda<\/strong>: Ocarina of Time<\/strong> and The<\/strong> Legend<\/strong> of<\/strong> Zelda<\/strong>: Majora\u2019s Mask. <\/strong>Other well-known series games include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a>, The Legend of Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda Tips and Tricks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more than 25 years, the Legend of Zelda has enchanted players of all ages<\/strong> with its delightful worlds, rich histories, and lovely music. There\u2019s magic in all of them, from the earliest to the latest. But the earlier games can be challenging, so here are some ideas to make them a bit easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open a dungeon door without a key<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just enter the first dungeon, exit, and then go back in. One of the northern doors will unlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret save screen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Usually in Zelda, you have to die before you can save your game. But you can use the up and \u201cA\u201d combo on the second controller to save whenever you please. This will save time and unnecessary deaths!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Influencing gossip stones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are gossip stones in Ocarina of Time and Majora\u2019s Mask that mostly tell the time. But if you have the Mask of Truth, each one will tell you something like a gameplay secret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip to the second quest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve conquered Ganon in the first Zelda, you\u2019re allowed to start the Second Quest, But if you type Zelda as your name, you\u2019ll go straight to the second quest. But be warned, it\u2019s more difficult than the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaponize the sun\u2019s song<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you play the Sun\u2019s Song\u2019s delightful melody to a lot of Gibdos or ReDeads, you\u2019ll freeze them in place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make bomb arrows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Link\u2019s Awakening, you can combine your bow with your bombs to create bomb arrows to increase the power of your attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce the number of enemies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the original Legend of Zelda, if you eliminate all the enemies except one on a screen, there will still only be one left the next time you go into that screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fast travel trick<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In A Link To The Past<\/strong>, you can go to Kakariko Village and play your flute in front of the weathercock, which will come to life and take you to eight places you want to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A secret supply room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Behind a fake wall on the main floor in Ganon\u2019s Castle (which you\u2019ll need the Lens of Truth to see), there\u2019s a chamber with fairies and business scrubs ready to help you replenish your strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steal The Bow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need an expensive bow to beat the game in Link\u2019s Awakening. But instead of spending a fortune to buy it, just steal it from the shop! But then everyone will call you \u2018thief\u2019 for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Become the legend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Games in the Legend of Zelda series are still great fun to get to know and play, even if they\u2019ve been around for decades. Start with the first one and then play them in any order after that. You\u2019ll love some of them, and others might not fascinate you as much, but they\u2019re classic video games that are well worth a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
