    Little kids who don’t pay attention to the story, or adults who are aware of the series but have never played.

    One aspect common to most Zelda games is an open world with no NG+. After beating it, you load back into to last save before the final boss fight. You are free to explore the world with all your equipment, and fight the boss again whenever you want. It was common for many kids to be introduced to Zelda in this state. You go to a friend’s house and load up a completed game with all items collected, no story or dialogue, and a big world to explore. All you know is you are controlling a mute elf with a sword and shield, and it’s called Zelda.
