A series of games based on ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' (as Philips didn't have the rights to the franchise name, none of them actually use the name "Legend of Zelda" anywhere) made in the early 90s, as part of Philips Electronics' deal with [[Nintendo]]'s [[Useful Notes/SNESCDROM|SNESCDROM]]. The idea fell through, but Philips had been given [[Licensed Game|the right to make several games based on Nintendo characters]] (not their respective franchises, just the characters), in this case from ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]]'' and ''Zelda''. So, along with ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', they made three games for the [[Philips CD-i]] system: ''Link: The Faces of Evil'', ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon'' and ''Zelda's Adventure''. These are [[Old Shame|not regarded]] [[Canon Dis Continuity|as canon]] by Nintendo, and are ignored by the timeline inside ''Zelda'''s 25th anniversary artbook ''Hyrule Historia''.
 
In the ''Faces of Evil'', Link had to travel to the island of Koridai to liberate it from Ganon's forces; the ''Wand of Gamelon'' featured Zelda traveling to Gamelon to save her father -- King Harkinian -- and Link.
