CLUE: The Legend of Zelda is a board game released in 2017 for 2–6 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move, Memory, and Grid Movement.
In The Legend of Zelda Clue Collector's Edition, the Dark Lord Ganondorf has stolen the Triforce and is threatening Hyrule with his evil plans to rule the world! In order to fulfill the prophecy and defeat Ganondorf, you must find out WHO possesses the power to defeat Ganondorf, WHAT item is required to defeat him, and WHERE he has established his hidden lair. The game largely plays similarly to the regular version of Clue, with the addition of two new mechanics. First, you have boss encounters, where you can draw from a deck of Boss Encounter cards if you land on a ? symbol or roll a ? on the dice. If you draw a regular Boss, you've defeated it and gain it's power, and if you draw the 8th Ganondorf card, you're immediately out of the game. Second, each character has a special power you can use once per game. For example, Impa's power lets you start two Rumors (aka Suggestions in regular Clue) in a single turn.
CLUE: The Legend of Zelda supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for CLUE: The Legend of Zelda is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists CLUE: The Legend of Zelda for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
CLUE: The Legend of Zelda has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
