The Legends We Never Got
Another game series that we haven't gotten is the Tingle series on the DS. Here is a screenshot of the games that have released so far.
And finally the one spin-off game that we actually did get was Link's Crossbow Training that released on Wii in 2007.
Link: Faces of Evil
Zelda's Adventure
BOOK SERIES
With as many Zelda games there are, there is bound to be duds, or games that don't quite make the cut. The following list is a list of games that never saw the light of day, at least (in some cases) under the original names that they were given.
This was an attachment to the Nintendo 64 and was only released in Japan. It was supposed to release in the USA, however, the Gamecube launched and Nintendo scrapped the idea.
This game never saw the light of day, however the idea of it was reflected in Four Swords Adventures. Here is a screen that I could muster up.
When the trilogy of Game Boy Color games was first announced, the titles were Mystical Seed of Courage, Mystical Seed of Wisdom, and Mystical Seed of Power. The latter two games were eventually released as Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. But what happened to Mystical Seed of Courage?
That game was slated to feature the time-traveling mechanic that ended up being Oracle of Ages, except the time travel seemed to be restricted to times of the day, with certain events happening only in the morning or night. (The original Mystical Seed of Wisdom game had a theme based on colors, which ended up being scrapped entirely.) No one knows how far along the third game was before Capcom pulled the plug; the game has never been shown to the public, and except for its logo, no images of it are known to exist."
It was said later that the reason of this third game being scrapped was because of the fact that making a third game within the code system was too difficult for its time. Rumors float around the internet that after they were renaamed, Mystical Seed of Courage was renamed to Oracle of Secrets.
Of course there are some Zelda games that were launched only in Japan. They launched for a system entitled the Satellaview. The Satellaview is a system that attached to the bottom of the Super Famicon (Super Nintendo in Japan). This was used to launch "episodes" of games during a broadcast using satellites. It was only playable when Nintendo was doing the broadcast. However, during this time, Nintendo not only launched A Link to the Past on it (known as Triforce of the Gods in Japan), but they also released a remake of The Legend of Zelda, known as BS Zelda. BS= Broadcast Satellite. Here is a screenshot of BS Zelda.
The other Zelda game that they launched was Ancient Stone Tablets. An all new game, sequel to A Link to the Past. 
Nintendo allowed the company Philips to make three unofficial Zelda games for their CD-i system. They were complete fail jobs
Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
This was the first CD-i Zelda game to be released. In this game, the king of Hyrule goes to the island of Gamelon to join forces with Duke Onkled to fight off Ganon. But a month goes by without word from the King, so Link goes to investigate. When Link doesn't return either, Zelda begins to get suspicious. She travels to Gamelon with her nursemaid to rescue Link and her father. They face a myriad of challages ahead of them. This game, like Zelda II for the NES, is a side-scolling platform and you get to be Zelda. From what I hear, the graphics are quite impressive and there are many obstacles to face. However, the controls aren't very good and the game can be challenging at times. Also, the characters actually speak instead of using text boxes. However, the audio is bad and it is sometimes hard to understand what they are saying.
This was the second CD-i Zelda game. In this game, Link becomes bored. He is a hero and wants to go out on adventures. He complains to the king, but he tells Link that peace is a good thing and that he should be happy. In a fairly predictable storyline, Ganon decides to capture Zelda and hold her hostage. It is up to Link to go save her. The similarities to the rest of the Zelda games ends there.
This was the last CD-i Zelda game and is the rarest of them all. It was released as the CD-i was failing, and consequently only a few thousand were made before production was halted. In this game Ganon kidnaps Link and it is up to Zelda to save him. She joins forces with the astronomer Gaspra to collect the seven celestial signs in order to free Link.
