This title is often considered "the black sheep" of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|series]]. ''The Adventure of Link'' is without a doubt the hardest Zelda game to date according to most fans of the series. One of these challenges was the aspect of introducing a "lives system" that further made the game frustrating when Link ran out of lives and was forced to return to the starting area, having to traverse across [[Hyrule]] and back into the treacherous dungeons where they fell. Many fans of the series were very disappointed with this rendition of the game and don't believe it accurately represents what ''The Legend of Zelda'' series was meant to be. Having said that, there are still many fans of this game regardless of its poor critical status.

{{Main|Life Level}}

In stark contrast to other games in the series, ''Adventure of Link'' incorporates an RPG-equse leveling system by which Link improves his skills via gaining experience instead of equipment upgrades.

====Gaining Experience====

====Upgrading Stats====

Upon reaching specific experience thresholds (represented by the NEXT number in the upper right corner of the screen), Link is given the option to "buy" an upgrade where a stat's level is raised by one and that quantity of experience is deducted from the total earned. Each stat can be upgraded to a maximum level of eight. Once a skill has reached the maximum level, its next level up becomes 9000 experience and selecting that upgrade will give Link one extra life.
