| The Legend of Zelda | Nintendo (Flagship Studios) | 1999 | Gather the Triforce Fragments, collect the weapons needed to defeat Gannon (its says "GANNON" in the game).Rescue the princess. Then do it again (1st Quest, 2nd Quest). This is an appropriately difficult action-adventure with minor puzzle elements and maze like dungeons. There are enemies on nearly every screen to be dispatched by sword, boomerang, arrow, bomb, flame, recorder (flute), and/or magic.

But after porting, people at Flagship thought that the original Legend of Zelda was too hard and set about dumbing it down. Rather than adding more dialog or a hint system, they chose to fundamentally change gameplay. With each dumb down step in a specific gameplay mechanic, the rest of the gameplay needed to be reworked to match. Soon the entire overworld was different and nothing fit together very well. Additionally the was the legitimate innate problem (as opposed to the aforementioned manufactured problems) of individual screens of the original being too big for the Gameboy Color screen. This could lead to the player not seeing things as important as doors and stairways. Note to developers, visually alerting players to important off-screen information is commonly called Radar.

| The Legend of Zelda: Fushigina Kinomi: The Chapter of Courage | Nintendo (Flagship Studios) | 2000 | This game in the USA was to be called the Mystical Seed of Courage. It is unknown at this time what the story revolved around. The other two games in this series focused on action and puzzles, so it presumable that this one focused on some other aspect of Zelda series gameplay. Most important to the game's history was the fact that it was part of the Trilogy with the story of other games taking place more or less simultaneously. The Mystical Seed of Power and Mystical Seed of Wisdom and this game were part of the "Triforce Series" developed by Flagship (a division of Capcom). The games could interact with each other. Therein is the reason for their cancellation. Using a cell phone based adapter was considered. Using game link cables was experimented with. But eventually it was decided to use a password system. But getting three simultaneous stories to interact via this password system proved to be too complicated. In the end, this game (unlike the other two), was simply canceled. | labelminimizesubject |
