Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon

ZELDA: THE WAND OF GAMELON

Today, let's cover the other game made by Imagination Studios and the second of three games made for the Phillips CDi. It's every bit as bad, it's got all the same horrible animation for the cutscenes, but hey, it stars Zelda this time, going on a quest to save the kingdom of Gamelon from an invasion by Ganon.

Zelda uses the same sword and shield that Link uses, and most of her items are the same, except for the Wand of Gamelon that basically takes the place of the Book of Koridai, and a shroud that replaces the winged helmet. That's about it really, so while it is the first real playable appearance of Zelda, it's mostly in name only.

As for our supporting cast, Link and King Harkinian both return, as well as Impa in her first true game appearance, though I'd still like to thing Ocarina of Time was. Just like before, there's a ton of NPCs you can visit for various story purposes to move the game along, none particularly standing out.

Ganon is our main villain once again, and, just like before, he has a set of bosses working with him, this time being Gibdo, Iron Knuckle, a trio of Witches, Wizzrobe, a wizard named Hektan, and a wolfman named Omfak. Just like before, their boss battles are pretty basic. Most of the same enemies returned for this game, with the same models and everything. Vire is really the only big one that didn't appear before.

The game takes place mostly into the Kingdom of Gamelon, with notable locations such as the plain of Aru Ainu, Dordung Cave, the Fairy Pool, Gobiyan ship, Hanyu forest, the village of Kobitan, Reesong Palace, the Shrine of Gamelon, Shutoy Lake, Tykogi Tower, and Washubi Swamp.

That should be about all we need. Here's what we've got so far:
