In {{ALttP}}, the {{Term|ALttP|Game Over}} screen appears when {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}}'s {{Term|ALttP|Life Gauge|link}} completely runs out. {{Term|ALttP|Link}} will spin in circles and then collapse face-first onto the ground, then being focused to the middle of the screen and disappearing as the words "GAME OVER" appear with a few options for the player. The menu allows the player to {{Term|ALttP|Saving|link|display=Save}} and continue playing, Save and quit the game, or don't save and respawn from the last saved point.<ref>{{Cite|Save And Continue<br>Save And Quit<br>Do Not Save And Continue|Game Over|ALttP}}</ref> Choosing the respawn will make {{Term|ALttP|Link}} respawn in a predetermined location, depending on where {{Term|ALttP|Link}} {{Term|ALttP|Game Over}}ed. If {{Term|ALttP|Link}} died in a {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon|link}}, he will respawn at the entrance to that {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon}}. {{Term|ALttP|Link}} can avoid a {{Term|ALttP|Game Over}} if he has a {{Term|ALttP|Fairy|link}} with him, as the {{Term|ALttP|Fairy}} will appear and heal seven {{Plural|ALttP|Heart|link}} from his {{Term|ALttP|Life Gauge}} after it runs out. If {{Term|ALttP|Link}} died anywhere else in the {{Term|ALttP|Light World|link}}, he can choose to respawn in {{Term|ALttP|Link's House|link}}, the {{Term|ALttP|Sanctuary|link}}, or the {{Term|ALttP|Mountain Cave|link}}. In the {{Term|ALttP|Dark World|link}}, {{Term|ALttP|Link}} will respawn atop the {{Term|ALttP|Pyramid|link}}. The game also counts the number of times that {{Term|ALttP|Link}} has {{Term|ALttP|Game Over}}ed and displays them next to the save file after completing the game. During the credits, a breakdown of how many times {{Term|ALttP|Link}} died at various locations in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule|link}} is shown.
