Changed from the previous game, during battle you won't play from an overhead perspective but a side-scrolling style. The amount of moves and actions have increased, as you'll need to do various new things such as defend with your shield, stand, crouch and more. Adventure of Link can also be played on the Gameboy Advance and Virtual Console.
(Caption)
Even with Ganon's defeat, the destruction of Hyrule has not stopped. With the Triforce emblem emerging from his left hand, the 16 year old Link once again sets off on an adventure.
(Top caption) Accompanied by Zelda's nurse mother, Impa, Link heads towards an unopened door. The crest on his left hand guides him to the location of Princess Zelda the First.
(Middle Caption) Given by Impa, Link holds the key to acquiring the Triforce of Courage, a scroll of six crystals.

Link has gathered the Triforce of Wisdom and taken back the Triforce of Power from Ganon. Making them complete with the Triforce of Courage located in Death Mountain, he will bring back peace to Hyrule.

In order to rescue Princess Zelda, who's under the magic of Agahnim, he'll continuously fight while traveling between the worlds of Light and Darkness. Returning to the overhead viewpoint of the first Legend of Zelda, the game plays like the first. Now with locations with multiple depth levels, the dungeons give an impression of more intricacy. You can play this on the Virtual Console as well.
(Pictured) Link
Showing his actions during the game, these illustrations give an impression similar to that of Adventure of Link. When in the game itself, Link looks closer to the original Legend of Zelda.
One of these illustrates that Link has been made able to tug at devices. When wearing the Pegasus Boots, he can also run right into objects!

With Ganon defeated, Link sets on a journey of training. While on his voyage, Link encounters a storm, washing him up on Koholint Island. In order to return to Hyrule, Link gathers the Siren instruments scattered throughout the island. The objective of your mission is to hatch a giant egg with the instruments. With Princess Zelda or the Triforce having nothing to do with the game, Dream Island takes on a side story like approach. The GBC version (DX) also went on sale, featuring color tailor made for the system.
Link
Appearing like a sequel to Triforce of the Gods, Link looks about the same as the Super Famicom game. By looking at the pattern of his shield, one can guess this is the same Link. Having lost his luggage while drifting in the sea, it ends up washing ashore.
Marin
The young lady nursed Link back to health after being washed up on shore. She lives with the middle-aged mushroom connoisseur, Tarin.

The young Kokiri boy, Link, sets out to face Ganondorf. Pursuing for the Triforce, Ganondorf is set on realizing his ambitions of ruling over Hyrule. This is the biggest change to the series yet, as an immense field world has been constructed of polygons. In this adventure, Link is controlled with the viewpoint behind him. It's also available on the Virtual Console.
Link (Adult)
This is Adult Link, 7 years older than his child form. His adventure further expands when reaching this point. There are also scenes where he goes back to being a child.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Living in Kokiri Forest without a Fairy to call his own, Link was treated as half a man. The Deity of Protection, the Deku Tree, sent the Fairy Navi to accompany Link...as 'The Warrior to Protect Hyrule' began his adventure.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
With the character of Link becoming three dimensional, his actions have become more diverse. The sword can be swung from both horizontal and diagonal positions and he can also jump sideways and backwards.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Many actions are carried over, such as the spin slash and pushing objects. With more ways to overcome obstacles, should we abandon our preconceptions going into this game?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Performing jumping slashes and more, further emphasis is placed on the concept of height. Link can also get on his favorite horse, Epona!
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
(Translation note: The original text incorrectly stated Link travels forward through time by returning the sword and travels back by uprooting it. I changed the text to match the events of the game.)
Link (Child)
By sticking the Master Sword back into the ground, Link travels (back) over a 7 year period. By uprooting it, he can also go forward 7 years in time.

Continuing some months after Ocarina of Time, Link has found himself mixed up in an alternative dimension. Here, in 3 days a falling moon will crash into and destroy the world of Termina. Link can travel through the 3 days as often as needed into order to halt the destruction.

Link's equipment consists of the Kokiri Sword and Hero Shield. As the game progresses, you'll equip the leftwards illustrated Razor Sword and more.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Link, equipped with the Fierce Deity Mask. Extending his height to that of an adult, it's an indispensible item during a decisive boss battle. Also, differing from the previous game, you'll be glad to see that Link in his child form can ride Epona the horse!
