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 [[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 ContinuityDiscontinuity|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.
Line 61:
* [[Boss Rush]]: In ''Zelda's Adventure''.
* [[Breathless Non-Sequitur]]: "My ship sails in the morning. I wonder what's for dinner?"
* [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: Nintendo officially pretends these games never existed. ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' advertised ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' as the first time Zelda actually joins the adventure instead of waiting in the background to be rescued. Zelda was the ''player character'' in two of these games. Also, they don't appear part of the intricate timeline of the ''[[All There in the Manual|Hyrule Historia]]'' artbook.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Everyone except Ganon, Link, Zelda and Impa, and the King, who comes from the [[The Legend of Zelda (comics)|comics]] and [[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|TV series]].
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Unintentional, but lamp oil, which first appears as an item in ''Faces of Evil'' and ''Wand of Gamelon'', becomes a real Zelda item in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. There was a lantern in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', but it ran on Link's magic power.
