That is, until now! Zelda CD-i Games Hit the PC! My experience or knowledge of them, in terms of gameplay, has largely been restricted to watching others. Like many people, however, while I was fully aware of the Zelda CD-i titles, I’d never actually played any of them. It was simply plagued by a lot of interface/control problems and a difficulty akin to beating Dark Souls blindfolded. – Well, actually, that’s not entirely true or fair, for as bad as they were (and particularly the now-infamous cutscenes), I think many would agree that a decent enough game lurked under the surface. So, Zelda games? That must mean they’re pretty awesome, right? Well, the short answer is no. Keeping it short, it didn’t work out with Phillips, Nintendo then went to Sony, that deal also fell through, and then we got the PlayStation. Well, in a nutshell, the games came about following a deal that was originally intended to produce a CD addon for the SNES. Particularly given how Nintendo has always rather jealously guarded their IPs. So, how did this happen? – I know, it is a bit of a curiosity. Albeit, I’d forgive you if you’d never heard of either the titles or the system as neither were a huge commercial success! I daresay I’m probably not giving you any huge revelations by telling you that in the early ’90s, there were a number of Zelda games produced for the Phillips CD-i console.
