How Many Dungeons Are In The Spin-Off Zelda Games?

Of course, the Zelda games exist far beyond just their mainline entries, with copious spin-offs and pseudo-remakes dotted across Nintendo’s various consoles.Some of these games are a bit looser with dungeons, making the classifying and counting a little more difficult. We’re going to count them anyway.

The Total Number Of Zelda Dungeons

Though the number of dungeons in each game can vary quite a bit,the most common number to have is seven, appearing as the total number in five different Zelda games.

Counting all of the mainline Zelda games,there is a grand total of 84 dungeons.

For the spin-off games,the total number of dungeons comes to 89,or 110,if the multiplayer entries are considered.

Across the entire series, this givesa grand total of approximately 194 dungeons. That’s a pretty remarkable number and one that is likely only to grow with new entries in the series.
