Fair Use Rationale edit

Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article The Legend of Zelda (1986 video game)

• The cover is used to represent a well known and significant video game
• This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
• The image does not limit Nintendo's ability to sell the game
