Link is the main character in the game who is guided by the fairy Navi. Other characters include: Zelda, Ganondorf and Rauru. Takes place in Hyrule field. His mission is to free the princess, Zelda, but there are challenges and obstacles on his journey. The importance of the Triforce. (3 spiritual stones.)

Koji Kondo is responsible for the music in the Legend of Zelda. In the game you had to learn the songs to advance and use the instrument the ocarina. When the character stays still for a while the music changes, the percussion drops out, and the themes become more calm, serene and melodic.

Cel- shading is a type of computer graphic style that is intentionally non-realistic. It makes the characters look like a cartoon or characters from a Comic book. (The Wind Waker) The thing I like most about this game is the strategies involved and the fact that it is a role-playing game. 1 out of every 3 Nintendo 3DS owners in the U.S purchased a copy of Ocarina 3D in the last two weeks of June alone.
