Objective:

The objective of the board game "The Legend of Zelda" is to rescue Princess Zelda by traveling through six different worlds and collecting magic tiles while defeating monsters.

Components:

The game includes a game board with different worlds, tiles placed face-down in each world, heart chips, an attack die, and a numbered die.

Gameplay:

1. Players receive three heart chips and an attack die.
2. Players take turns rolling the numbered die and moving Link a number of spaces as indicated by the roll.
3. When a player lands on a square, they turn over one of the tiles and perform actions based on the tile:
   • Magic Tile: Magic tiles are kept until the end of the game and allow access to the next world.
   • Monster Tile: Players must fight monsters by rolling the attack die. The number of swords rolled must be greater than or equal to the monster's power shown on the tile. Players can lose or gain hearts during these battles.
4. Players progress through the worlds, encountering tiles and trying to collect magic tiles.
5. In the 6th world, players attempt to collect the "Triforce Princess Zelda" magic tile by rolling 4 swords. Players can reroll once if they roll 2 or more swords.
6. Hearts are totaled at the end of the game, with each magic tile being worth 1 heart and the Zelda tile worth 2 hearts. The player with the most hearts wins.

This board game adaptation appears to capture the essence of the video game series by incorporating elements like magic tiles, monsters, and the quest to rescue Princess Zelda. Players must strategize and rely on dice rolls to progress and collect hearts.
