Zelda Game & Watch Extra Info

Almost 20 years ago, before Gameboy, there was the Game & Watch series, which were simple, LCD games. The series included Mario, Donkey Kong, and of course, Zelda.

In the game, the havoc caused by eight fierce dragons is increasing day by day, and Princess Zelda has been kidnapped by the evil dragons, and you (Link) have to destroy the 8 dragons, earning a piece of the triforce with each defeat.

The game is split up into 2 screens, the bottom is where most of the action takes place, and at the top is the map, your items, and your status.

The controls wouldn't always respond, and the buttons were very small, but it stil remains one of the best Game & Watch consoles made.

The game is composed to two screens:
The bottom screen is the main screen where most of the level action takes place. Here, Link is on a platform with Stalfos enemies under him, one stabbing up at him, a ghost to the left throwing knives at him and a Goblin to the right, stabbing him. The object is to hit the goblin X (depending on which level) number of times, while avoiding being stabbed by the Goblin, the Stalfos' or the ghost. Once you hit the Goblin the necessary number of times, two stairways appear, and Link can advance to the next screen.
