Zelda's Adventure
Description
This is the third game in the row of Philips' titles set in Zelda universe. In this game, you play the princess Zelda herself. The evil Gannon has captured and imprisoned the brave hero Link. In order to save him, Zelda has to venture into Tolemac, an uncharted southeastern region of the land of Hyrule, and to collect seven celestial signs, which is the only way to defeat Gannon.
Unlike the two previous Zelda games for CD-i (which were platformers), Zelda's Adventure returns to the traditional top-down view of the series. You navigate Zelda over the world map, visiting towns, talking to townspeople for clues, and descending into dangerous dungeons. You can equip swords, shields, and various kinds of gear. The combat is entirely action-based.

Trivia
The name of the land Zelda must venture to, Tolemac, is Camelot spelled backwards.
Unlike the other two Zelda games on the CD-i, which had animated cut scenes, this one used actors in costumes in its cutscenes.
