The Legend of Zelda is a fantasy-themed action-adventure game series created by Nintendo. The games follow the adventures of Hylian hero Link, across his various incarnations, as he battles the forces of evil. In most games, Princess Zelda appears as a deuteragonist, while Ganon is the primary antagonist.

As one of Nintendo's most successful series, The Legend of Zelda franchise has shared synergy with the Super Mario franchise. Both series have had frequent crossovers with and references to each other, such as in the Super Smash Bros. series, and series protagonist Link has made several appearances in the Super Mario franchise itself, including as a playable character in Mario Kart 8.
