'''Castlevania: The Adventure''' (mistakenly referred to as '''The Castlevania Adventure'''), known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''Dracula Densetsu'''|ドラキュラ伝説|Dorakyura Densetsu|lit. "Dracula Legend", a.k.a Legend of Dracula}}, is the first of three Castlevania games released for the Game Boy. Staring Christopher Belmont, the story revolves around Dracula's periodic resurrection.

Castlevania: The Adventure was re-released in [[Konami GB Collection Vol. 1]] in Japan (as a [[Super Game Boy]] compatible game) and Europe (as a [[Game Boy Color]] cartridge).
