About Zelda

Zelda API is an open-source REST and GraphQL API providing data about The Legend of Zelda video game franchise. It covers games, staff, characters, monsters, bosses, dungeons, places, and items, returning details such as names, descriptions, developers, publishers, and release dates. The underlying data was scraped from Zelda fansites and wikis.

The API does not require an API key, and both REST endpoints and a GraphQL endpoint are available for querying and filtering the data, such as retrieving a specific monster's appearances across games. It is aimed at developers building projects around Zelda-related content for educational or hobby purposes, and the project is open source with a public GitHub repository for issue reporting.

The service operates under a fair use policy asking developers not to spam it, and it states that it is not affiliated with or funded by Nintendo.
