In the early 90's, Nintendo went to hardware manufacturer Philips for help in making a CD drive expansion for their SNES console. Though these plans eventually fell through, Philips did manage to retain licenses to the Legend of Zelda series. In 1993 Philips Interactive Media published Zelda: Wand of Gamelon, and Link: Faces of Evil, two Zelda-based games that were created by developer Animation Magic and were somewhat in the sidescrolling style of Nintendo's own Adventure of Link. Later, in 1995, Philips Interactive Media published a third game, Zelda's Adventure, which was developed by Viridis Corporation, and was in the overhead style of gameplay that most 2D Zelda games use. Nintendo had absolutely no influence or oversight on these projects, and these games are not recognized as being part of the Zelda series in any way.

When King Harkinian vanishes on a mission to save Gamelon, Link takes off to rescue him. But soon Link is also missing, and Zelda must free them both from their evil captors.
