Released in 1993 for the Philips CD-i, 'Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon' is a side-scrolling action-adventure game and one of the few instances where players control Princess Zelda herself. Tasked with rescuing Link and her father, Zelda traverses various lands, battles foes, and solves puzzles. Despite its official licensing, the game is infamous for its subpar animation and controls, deviating from the highly-regarded standards of the main series. It is a historical footnote in the Zelda franchise, often noted for its unique place outside Nintendo's direct development.
