Zelda CV Template: Dungeons Opened by Your Skills

This template turns your CV into an adventure map: your experiences are dungeons you select by clicking, your skills are inventory items and your certifications are three pieces of a sacred force. The sections carry journey names — save point, side quests, companions — which makes the page read as a narrative rather than a table. It suits long journeys: research, consulting and multi-phase projects.

The steps

1. Open the template and choose "Use this template" to reach the editor
2. Fill in the hero profile: name, job title, city and a short introduction
3. Enter four experiences; each becomes a standalone, clickable dungeon
4. Enter your skills — the inventory shows eight slots in a four-column grid
5. Put certifications in as force fragments and references as companions, then export

Practical tips

• Order your experiences chronologically: dungeons read as a journey, not as a list
• Three certifications only, so choose the ones most relevant to the role, not the oldest
• The inventory items stand for families — strength, defence, precision, problem solving — so cover the families rather than loading one

Common mistakes to avoid

• Entering more than eight skills; the surplus never appears in the inventory
• Writing job titles with no line of outcome, which turns the dungeons into empty headings

Frequently asked questions

Does it work for readers who don't play games?

Yes. The essential sections keep their plain meaning — experience, skills, certifications, references. The theme dresses the structure rather than replacing it.

Why call the experiences dungeons?

Because each dungeon is a stage completed in itself, which is exactly the point: every role was a stage you finished before moving on.
