Legends of Zelda

[#Drennn.]

That’s right, not all of the best-selling action games are recent. Developed in 1986, this original Nintendo game comes in as the oldest on the list and the only one on such an old gaming console. Despite only have a half-dozen buttons to play the game with — four of which were simple directions — the game had an expansive adventure to offer gamers as well as plenty of sword fighting. The Zelda games have all been known for their focus on adventure, puzzles, sword play, and special items to conquer the vast array of foes and temples that stand in the way of the hero, Link. Though the game might seem a little low-intensity compared to modern action games, it still earns its spot here with worldwide sales of 6.51 million.
