''The Legend of Zelda'' features the same [[Link]] as its direct sequel, ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.

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]]''.

Each of the first nine [[Dungeon]]s in ''The Legend of Zelda'' is shaped in a specific design, which corresponds to the name of the dungeon. The first labyrinth is referred to as the [[Level 1: The Eagle|Eagle]], while the fourth dungeon is referred to as the [[Level 4: The Snake|Snake]]. The third dungeon of the game is referred to as the [[Level 3: The Manji |Manji]], and it is in the shape of a left-facing Swastika. The term Manji is actually a Japanese character and it is very common in Japanese culture. Because of this, it slipped into the game without considering the sensitivity of the symbol. The Manji is considered offensive in western countries due to its relationship to Nazism, though the Nazi swastika faces the opposite direction of the Manji. | Each of the first nine [[Dungeon]]s in ''The Legend of Zelda'' is shaped in a specific design, which corresponds to the name of the dungeon.

All versions of the game include a cross on Link's [[Shield]]. However, in virtually all pieces of [[Products|merchandise]], Link's shield is shown in a solid color. This is likely due to the sensitivity of religion in western countries. Furthermore, in the Japanese version of the game, the [[Book of Magic]] was referred to as the ''Bible''. When the game was released in the West, it was renamed to the Book of Magic, or the Magic Book. | All versions of the game include a cross on Link's [[Shield]].
