About Link: The Faces of Evil

Link: The Faces of Evil is an adventure game released on the Philips CD-i on October 10, 1993. Developed by Animation Magic and published by Philips Interactive Media, it is part of The Legend of Zelda franchise. It is a single-player game shown from a side view, with action as its main theme.

The game is played as a side-scrolling platformer. Players move through stages that are selected from a world map, and new stages open up as areas are cleared and bosses are defeated. The setting is an island where Ganon's forces have taken control, and Link works his way through the enemies he meets along the way.

The title has a difficult reputation among fans of the series and is often discussed as an outlier within the franchise. It is a single-player title for the CD-i and differs from the mainline Zelda games in both its perspective and its structure.
