Unlike the previous two CD-i Zelda games, which take the side-scrolling view from [[Zelda II]], Zelda's Adventure is played with the same top-down view found in [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]. Playing as Princess Zelda, the aim is to fight through the Seven Shrines of the Underworld to collect the celestial signs, and bring the land of Tolemac to an Age of Lightness.
