The Subscreen,^{(TLoZThe Legend of Zelda | LADXLink's Awakening DX | LANSLink's Awakening (Nintendo Switch) | OoTOcarina of Time | OoT3DOcarina of Time 3D | MMMajora's Mask | OoSOracle of Seasons | OoAOracle of Ages)} Sub Screen,^{(ALttPA Link to the Past)} or Sub-Screen,^{(LALink's Awakening)} is a recurring interface in The Legend of Zelda series. The term refers to pause menus or parts thereof.

Overview

Subscreens are so named for appearing as a modal window over the Game Screen. They are divided into one or more separate components for items, typically screens, named Items, Equipment, Quest Status Screen, Collection Screen, Gear, or Inventory. In earlier titles,^{(TLoZThe Legend of Zelda | TAoLThe Adventure of Link | ALttPA Link to the Past | LALink's Awakening | LADXLink's Awakening DX)} the Inventory comprises the entire Subscreen, making the two terms synonymous in those cases. The Subscreen may include the Map, though in some games it is considered a separate screen entirely. The Subscreen usually includes a Saving button, sometimes on a screen named System, sometimes alongside controller layouts or configuration options.

Opening the Subscreen pauses gameplay. It cannot be used during cutscenes.
