Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon: Difference between revisions

'''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''' is a side scrolling action adventure game for the Philips CD-i, starring [[Zelda]] herself as the main character. It was developed by Animation Magic and released in 1993, on the same day as [[Link: The Faces of Evil]]. A sequel to both games, [[Zelda's Adventure]], was released in 1994. All three CD-i ''Zelda'' games were the product of a contract between Philips and Nintendo after the two companies failed to release a CD-based add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon is the first of two CD-i games where Zelda being a playable character (the second being the third and final installment of the CD-i series, Zelda's Adventure). The Game play is identical to that of Link: The Faces of Evil.

Unlike the other games in this series, which star [[Link]] as the lead character, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon has you controlling [[Princess Zelda]] herself as she embarks on a quest to defeat the evil [[Ganon]] and save Link and her father, [[King Harkinian]].  

This game featured side-scrolling levels similar to [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]. In the beginning you are given a map with three accessible locations. Once you choose a location, you enter a side-scrolling level, where you must fight well-known enemies from the Zelda series, as well as meet people who will give you quests. Quests can be completed in a non-linear fashion, and at certain points of this game, there are several locations that will be accessible. There are 90 different characters with whom to interact, and 70 play-fields, including swamps, forests, palaces and a mysterious fairy pool.
