The first The Legend of Zelda game to make Princess Zelda a playable character was Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon. Published by Philips Interactive Media on 10 October 1993 for the Philips CD-i console, the game is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure in which players guide Zelda as she looks to rescue the kidnapped King of Hyrule and Link himself. The game is generally derided by critics for its poor controls and frustrating difficulty spikes.


Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon shares a release date with Link: The Faces of Evil, another 2D Zelda game released for the Philips CD-i console.
