Zelda's Adventure was a game that was made with Sony's 3 game contract after they left Nintendo, this game was considered horrible for so many very legitimate reasons.
'''''Zelda's Adventure''''' is a game that was made by Philips Media and released for the [[Philips CD-i]]. After Philips and [[Nintendo]] parted ways, Philips was left with a four-game contract which included one Mario game (''Hotel Mario'') and three The Legend of Zelda titles. ''Zelda's Adventure'' was the final title released as part of its contract, with the previous two being ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'' and ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil]]''.

Not many people even knew about the game, and the same goes with the other 2 Philips CDI games. The game was Live-Action, which means they made small animations of actual people doing moves such as walking, talking and for Zelda here, swinging a sword. Not much was known about this game, but the small few who got this game didn't like it very much. Sony stepped up a little after this horrible affliction and made the Wand of Gamelon and the Faces of Evil, which still had some voice acting problems, since all the Zelda games made by Nintendo had never used Voice acting except for Links small little grunts and such.

Zelda's Adventure is a game that was made by Philips Media and released for the Philips CD-i. After Philips and Nintendo parted ways, Philips was left with a four-game contract which included one Mario game (Hotel Mario) and three The Legend of Zelda titles. Zelda's Adventure was the final title released as part of its contract, with the previous two being Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Link: The Faces of Evil. Zelda's Adventure is not considered canon in the The Legend of Zelda series.

The game utilizes sprites and other graphics elements taken from real-world photographs and video. Every screen of the game was produced via dioramas, which were then photographed from the top. Not much else is known about this game, since physical copies of the game, as well as the CD-i itself, sell for hundreds of dollars today, limiting attempts to gain more information.

Some have criticized the game for its long load times and low-quality graphics[citation needed], while a few have praised it for being the only CD-i Zelda game with the traditional Zelda formula of top-down graphics, an expansive scrolling overworld, and several dungeons, each with its own item and boss, within the overworld.[citation needed]
