As many people know the Legend of Zelda game is one of the most iconic Nintendo titles in video game history.  When The Legend of Zelda series first began on the 8 bit Nintendo Entertainment System many people loved the concept of the game along with the main character Link.  Since its inception the Legend of Zelda series has evolved into something truly amazing and provided players with unforgettable adventures along with some of the toughest levels you would see in a RPG title.  As cool as the Zelda series was for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System back in the 90’s it would have felt very different seeing a game like Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Sega Genesis or even PlayStation.

The 1990’s was the decade where Nintendo had made some of the best 16-bit RPG titles that the gaming world has ever seen.  Unlike, Super Mario games which mainly focuses on the platforming genre the Legend of Zelda looks like a game that could possibly be successful on consoles such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4.  On the other hand there have been so many great games in the RPG genre such as Horizon Zero Dawn, Destiny, Skyrim, Dark Souls III and  Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter that would provide the Legend the Zelda with  fierce competition in terms of popularity and sales.  Along with Super Mario games the Legend of Zelda series contributes to a large amount of revenue that Nintendo receives annually.  While Mario is considered to be the mascot of Nintendo  some would put Link behind him in terms of popularity outside of the Mario series.

It well known that when it comes down to 3D RPG games the Legend of Zelda never fails to impress especially with titles such as Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess.  If the Legend of Zelda series came out during the 00’s it might not  have been as popular as it was during the 80’s due to the rise in popularity of first person shooter  game  But based on how the most recent Zelda games turned out between the mid 00’s and the present the series would probably be interesting enough to grab people’s attention as a playable RPG title.
