Battle.net vs Zelda

If you need a Games & Comics API that's easy to integrate, go with Zelda.

Diablo III, Hearthstone, StarCraft II and World of Warcraft game data APIs

Zelda

The Legend of Zelda franchise data

When to use which?

Zelda is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Battle.net works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps.
