The Game Screen,(OoT | MM | SS)[1][2][3] also known as the Main Screen,(ALttP | LA | LADX | FS)[4][5][6][7] and the Game Play Screen,(OoT)[1] is a recurring interface in The Legend of Zelda series.

Overview

The Game Screen refers to the main interface where gameplay occurs, as opposed to selection and viewing screens such as the Inventory, Map Screen, Title Screen, and so on. It includes the head-up display which usually consists of the Life Gauge, a Rupee counter, and the currently selected items, among other game-specific elements.

Additionally, the bottom screen also shows the active Map of an area. While inside a Dungeon, it will display the rooms that have been visited in the Dungeon. Once a Dungeon Map has been obtained, it will show the full Map of the area. Outside of Dungeons, the World Map Screen will be displayed instead. If an area in the World Map Screen has not yet been visited, that part of the Map will be obscured by clouds.
