The Legend of Zelda features the same [[Link]] as its direct sequel, ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. In 1991 when ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' was released, it was a distant prequel to the first few Zelda titles. Over the next 20 years, the series expanded rapidly with new games and the timeline became a bit more blurry. The Legend of Zelda had a direct timeline placement with the Adventure of Link and A Link to the Past, but very little in relation to the rest of the series. | The Legend of Zelda features the same [[Link]] as its direct sequel, ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.
