3. The Sequel
In 1988 (not even a year after the first Legend of Zelda game was released) Miyamoto and Nintendo released the only ever Legend of Zelda sequel. Every other game is a prequel according to the Legend of Zelda timeline. Zelda II The Adventure of Link completely threw away the adventure feel of the original Zelda and becoming a sidescroller. Basically instead of being able to travel up and down you could only go to the right or sometimes left.
