Zelda's Adventure is a video game developed by Viridis and released for the Philips CD-i in 1994. It is a semi-sequel to Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, both released on the same day a year before. Zelda's Adventure was developed by a different company, and this shows through heavily in the game's design. All three CD-i Zelda games were the product of a compromise between Philips and Nintendo after the two companies failed to release a CD-based add-on for the SNES.
Spoiler warning: The following contains key plot or ending details.
Story
Tolemac ("Camelot" reversed) is in the middle of the Age of Darkness, as Ganon has kidnapped Link, and unleashed his rule over the land of Tolemac. Princess Zelda sets out to save the young adventurer and learns from the astronomer Gaspra that she must first collect seven celestial signs before she can conquer the dark king and bring Hyrule to an "Age of Lightness".
The story is told mostly through live-action FMV scenes filmed in Los Angeles on blue screen.
Unlike the previous two CD-i Zelda games, which take the side-scrolling view from The Adventure of Link, Zelda's Adventure is played with the same top-down view found in The Legend of Zelda. Playing as Princess Zelda, the aim is to fight through the Seven Shrines of the Underworld to collect the celestial signs, and bring the land of Tolemac to an Age of Lightness.
