The NES Classic Edition, also known as NES Classic or NES Mini, is a small-scale emulator-based version of the Nintendo Entertainment System, released in 2016 (original was 1985) with thirty pre-installed games, meant to be novelty item and a modern way to play older titles without an original NES.[2] It was manufactured and released by Nintendo and was succeeded by the Super NES Classic Edition the following year, which itself was based on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. In Japan, the region has its own version called the Family Computer Mini, based on the original Famicom with a slightly different library.
The Legend of Zelda games[]
Included in the NES Classic Edition are two The Legend of Zelda games, representing the series' complete presence on the NES.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the SNES Classic Edition, the NES Classic Edition was released with only one controller, which is met with criticism, forcing buyers to purchase a second one to play 2-player mode on many games.
- As the NES Classic Edition is an emulation-based console and therefore does not accept cartridges, the lid on the front that is used for the original NES to play games cannot be opened. This also applies to its successor.
- The NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles share completely identical hardware, unlike their original counterparts.
