'''''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]''''' is a fantasy-themed game series created by [[Nintendo]]. The series chronicles the adventures of the [[zeldawiki:Hylian|Hylian]] hero, [[Link]], as he sets out to defend the realm of [[zeldawiki:Hyrule|Hyrule]] from the forces of evil. Link is not a singular character, but appears in [[Young Link|different]] [[Toon Link|incarnations]] who all share the same bloodline. In many of his adventures, [[Princess Zelda]] appears as a deuteragonist, while [[Ganondorf|Ganon]] serves as a main antagonist. All three characters are connected via a mystical force known as the [[zeldawiki:Triforce|Triforce]], and are reincarnated across generations to do battle again and again.

As one of Nintendo's most successful series, the ''Zelda'' franchise has had generous amounts of synergy with the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. Both franchises have frequently released titles on the same consoles that serve similar roles of innovation and advancement within each series, such as ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' with ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' with ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Both franchises have had frequent crossovers and cross-references to each other, most notably in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series; however, Link has also made various appearances in the greater ''Mario'' franchise itself, including a full playable appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.
