'''The Legend of Zelda''' is a groundbreaking action/adventure game developed by Shigeru Miyamoto and initially released in Japan for the [[Nintendo]] Famicom Disk System in [[1986]] where it propelled sales of the add-on to the core Famicom system. It was translated and brought to America one year later and proceeded to have the same influential effect on sales of the [[NES]]. In America, it was released as a cartridge, and was one of the first games ever to employ a battery backed up memory chip inside which allowed players to save their progress, even after power to the system had been turned off. It is the first game in Nintendo's ''[[:Category:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, whose games have a tremendous following to this day. | '''The Legend of Zelda''' is a groundbreaking action/adventure game developed by Shigeru Miyamoto and initially released in Japan for the [[Nintendo]] Famicom Disk System in [[1986]] where it propelled sales of the add-on to the core Famicom system.
