The '''Starting Screen''' is the first location [[Link]] visits in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', also making it the first location Link visits in the long history of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. This area is quite empty; there are no enemies or items here that Link can collect. The only thing that Link can do on this screen is enter the cave to the top-left. Inside, the [[Old Man]] begins Link's quest by giving him his first [[Sword]], telling him, ''"IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS"''.{{Ref|LoZ|41|[[Old Man]]}} After this exchange, Link can exit the cave and begin his quest to save [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] and, in turn, [[Hyrule]]. Everytime the player continues the game on a previously saved quest, Link appears on this screen.

The added content for the [[DSiWare]] "Anniversary Edition" of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'' included a ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' triptych of levels in the [[Realm of Memories]]. These used parts of the actual map of the game, rather than randomised areas, and the first ''The Legend of Zelda''-based level begins on the original starting screen.
 
In this version, the door leads to a tunnel which a Link can pass through, unseen until he emerges from the other side of the rock, rather than a cave with the sword.
