Unlike most games in the series, where [[Link]] freely travels through an open world to many different locations and [[dungeon]]s, Stages differ in that they are self-contained worlds or locations that constitute a disconnected [[overworld]]. Stages are selected from a menu rather than [[Transportation|traveled to]] and explored continuously like locations in other ''Zelda'' titles. Stages have been used most extensively in games that utilize [[multiplayer]], such as {{TFH}}. Upon completion of a Stage, a new Stage is unlocked, thus forwarding the game's story and progression.

Different terminology has been used to refer to Stages and Levels. In {{FSA}}, "Levels" refers to chapters that contain three Stages each. In {{TFH}}, Levels are instead used to refer to the self-contained worlds, whereas "Stages" refers to each segment or area within a Level. In {{HW}}, the game's Stages are split into chapters called '''Scenarios''' in [[Legend Mode]]. Some Stages are revisited, and thus have more than one Scenario.

Stages are also featured in combative modes as well, such as the [[Shadow Battle]] mode in {{FSA|-}}, the [[Battle Mode]] in {{PH}} and {{ST}}, [[Shadow Link Battle]]s in {{ALBW}}, and the [[Coliseum]] in {{TFH|-}}. In these modes, players battle against each other or a [[Shadow Link#A Link Between Worlds|Shadow]] of another player instead in enclosed Stage arenas.

Link's Crossbow Training

In Link's Crossbow Training, each Level contains three Stages.[4] In each Stage, Link finds himself in a different area of Hyrule where they have to either shoot Targets, defeat advancing Enemies, or travel through a location defeating a number of Enemies. These three types of Stages are respectively named Target Shooting, Defender, and Ranger Stages.[5] In every stage, every Target or Enemy can be shot to gain a certain amount of points, but every Stage has a time limit of 60 seconds.[6][7] At the end of the Level, all of the obtained points from each of the three Stages are tallied up.[8] If Link obtained 20,000 points or more, he earns a Bronze Medal; he earns a Silver Medal for 40,000 or more points; he earns a Gold Medal for 60,000 or more points; he earns a Carlov Medal for 80,000 or more points. In order to unlock the next Level, Link must earn at least a Bronze Medal.[9]
