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. | This title is often considered "the black sheep" of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|series]].

Aside from trying to live up to the expectations of its predecessor, ''The Adventure of Link'' is still one of the highest rated games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and a great game of its time. It has been released multiple times for various other Nintendo consoles such as the [[Game Boy Advance]], the [[Nintendo GameCube]]'s [[The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition|Collector's Disc]], the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii Virtual Console]], | Aside from trying to live up to the expectations of its predecessor, ''The Adventure of Link'' is still one of the highest rated games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and a great game of its time.

By gaining experience through defeating enemies or finding [[Point Bag]]s Link is able to upgrade his three principle stats: Attack, Magic, and Life. This system stands in place of equipment upgrades that increase Link's attack and defense found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' like the [[Blue Ring]] or [[Magical Sword]]. | By gaining experience through defeating enemies or finding [[Point Bag]]s Link is able to upgrade his three principle stats: Attack, Magic, and Life.

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. | 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.
