A video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto about the adventures of a boy named Link, the Princess Zelda, and their ongoing fight with Ganondorf to bring peace to the land of Hyrule. Each Zelda game takes place in the same world, sometimes with the same characters, but often with new characters who are the old ones reincarnated at a different point in time. The Zelda Timeline is so complicated and convoluted, that many people claim that none of the games even take place in the same universe despite the fact that Miyamoto gives hints at each game's place in the timeline when they are released. On top of the fact that Hyrule has no apparent system of measuring years, the timeline has been split by time travel, introduced parallel realities, and consists of two dimensions.
Many believe that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the most influential video games of all time, second only to Super Mario 64. Hundreds of games have emulated Ocarina's combat system.
