Gameplay:

2.Dungeon Exploration:

In this area the link must fight with the creatures to locate the entrances to nine underground dungeons.Each dungeon is a unique, a maze -like collection of rooms  connected by doors and secret passengers which is guarded by the monsters different from those creatures found in the overworld.The link must successfully navigate each dungeon to obtain one of the eight pieces of the triforce of wisdom.Dungeon also provide useful items boomerang, flute with magical properties.The first six Dungeons have visible entrances, but the remaining three are hidden. Except for the final Dungeon, which can’t be entered until the previous eight have been completed, the order of completing Dungeons is somewhat arbitrary, but many Dungeons can only be reached using items gained in the previous one.

3.Second Quest:

After completing the game the players will have access to more difficult quests, officially named as second quest.

In most Zelda games, the player’s hit point or health meter is represented by a line of hearts and each heart typically represents two hit points.When the game commences the players will have only three hearts and the players can increase their maximum  heart by finding heart-shaped crystals called “Heart Containers”.Full heart containers are usually received at the end of the dungeons and are dropped by dungeon bosses.However smaller pieces of hearts are awarded to players for completing side quests or is hidden around the world in different places and requires a certain number of pieces to form a full heart.

Players can regenerate their health by picking up hearts, defeating the enemies and destroying objects.”The Legend of Zelda Theme” is a recurring piece of music that was created for the first game of the franchise.Additionally legend of  zelda themed monopoly board game was released in united states in 2014 ,clue-board-game was released in 2017 and a UNO-styled game was released in 2018 exclusively at Gamestop in NorthAmerica.
