Around the time ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|Link to the Past]]'' was released, three more games came out which... haven't made the canon: ''[[The LegendofLegend of Zelda CDI Games|Link: The Faces of Evil]]'', ''[[The LegendofLegend of Zelda CDI Games|Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'' and ''[[The LegendofLegend of Zelda CDI Games|Zelda's Adventure]]'', the latter two of which are the only games in the franchise in which you play as Zelda throughout the game.
 
In addition to the main canon, there are also the three Satellaview games released only in Japan for the Satellaview add-on for the Super Famicom: ''BS Zelda no Densetsu'' (BS Legend of Zelda) and ''BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban'' (BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets. BS Stands for Broadcast Satellaview) The former is a remake of the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|Legend of Zelda]]'' with SNES graphics but the Satellaview mascots (a boy in a baseball cap or a girl with red hair in a ponytail) are playable instead of Link. The latter uses the same characters but is based graphically on ''Link to the Past''. The character chosen appears in Hyrule and defends it while Link is away (during the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''). The third is a full, normal, downloadable version of ''A Link to the Past''. The three Satellaview games were "broadcasted" during a one hour window on a weekly schedule and were designed to self-destruct after that hour was over (with the exception of the Alttp one). Because of this, you can no longer play them on the actual hardware and they can only be played on an emulator.
Line 34:
===== Non-canonical licensed media include: =====
 
* ''[[The LegendofLegend of Zelda CDI Games|Link: The Faces of Evil]]'', ''[[The LegendofLegend of Zelda CDI Games|Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'' and ''[[The LegendofLegend of Zelda CDI Games|Zelda's Adventure]]'' for the [[Philips CD-i]]
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend Of Zelda]]'' [[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|cartoon]]
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda (comics)|The Legend Of Zelda]]'' [[The Legend of Zelda (comics)|comic book]] published by Valiant
Line 164:
** Other candidates for [[Darker and Edgier]] are ''Majora's Mask'', where impending doom is just for starters, and ''The Adventure of Link'', where the impending doom won't stop ''arriving''.
* [[Dark Reprise]]: Series-wide example. A heroic Hyrule Castle theme heard in ''Link to the Past'' gets a darker reprise in ''Minish Cap''.
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]: The Gerudo people, including Ganondorf in ''Ocarina of Time'' prior to his becoming Ganon, although even at the beginning Ganondorf's skin has a sickly/[[Uncanny Valley|undead-looking]] greenish cast, which becomes outright [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Hulk green]] or even ''blue'' in many of his appearances (not all of which are humanoid, of course) later on in the series's chronology.
** And Midna takes both dark skinned and redhead to [[Up to Eleven|to a new level]], being a literally ebony-skinned imp with glowing orange hair.
** And ''Skyward Sword'' gives us {{spoiler|Demise, with ebony skin and (literally) flaming hair}}.
