'''''Zelda''''' is a multiscreen Game & Watch game that was only released in English as a stand-alone "system" pre-loaded with the single game. It has dual screens which fold in a clamshell design (similar to the [[Nintendo DS]]). It was rereleased in 1998 as part of the Nintendo Mini Classics line. The complete game can be unlocked in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' (known as ''Game & Watch Gallery Advance'' in Europe and Australia) for the [[Game Boy Advance]].
