Each mainline iteration is a self-contained story, but they can all be seen as discrete reinterpretations of one central legend, a core narrative that revolves around the hero of Courage, aided by the heroine of Wisdom, embarking on a quest to prevent the villain of Power from acquiring the Triforce, a sacred artifact that grants its wielder’s desires. What I love about the series is that it continually incorporates inspiration from various real-life mythologies into its own world. Having recently celebrated its 25 th anniversary, the Legend of Zelda is one of the most iconic and celebrated franchises in videogame history.
