− | + | The sequel to ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' switches perspective from the overhead to classic side scrolling. [[Link]] now can jump, hack, slash, and dodge whatever is thrown at him. His arsenal of items is replaced with a collection of spells, each with a variety of effects. An unusual addition is an experience system for leveling up, as well as extra lives. | |

It is now nearly Link's sixteen birthday and he is living happily in North Castle, after defeating [[Ganon]] in ''The Legend of Zelda''. One day a strange mark appears on his hand. He shows it to [[Impa]], and she tells him the Prince and the sleeping Princess. Since Link has both the Triforce of Power and Wisdom, she tells him of the Triforce of Courage's resting place. But the place where it rests, the Great Palace, is protected by a seal. In order to break the seal, Link has to return six crystals to the different palaces across the land. However, this quest will not be easy. Not only at the palaces protected by guardian creatures, but Ganon's minions are searching for Link and planning to use his blood to resurrect Ganon. | It is now nearly Link's sixteen birthday and he is living happily in North Castle, after defeating [[Ganon]] in ''The Legend of Zelda''.
