Also on the Non-Canon
Link: The Faces of Evil
One of three Zelda games produced for the Philips CD-i under a licensing deal struck when Nintendo and Philips' partnership on a CD-ROM add-on collapsed. Nintendo licensed only character likenesses; it had no real hand in development.
Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
The second CD-i title, and the only Zelda game in which Princess Zelda herself is the playable protagonist, searching for Link and fighting Ganon on the island of Gamelon.
