One of the first games I've ever played. Every few years I go back and play through this game. I can now beat it in a single day. I have this entire game memorized. It borders on being less of a action-adventure game than a puzzle game for me, and I already know all of the solutions. I never get tired of the classic theme music and sound effects.

This is a fantastic first game of The Legend of Zelda franchise. The sense of exploration to unlock the mysteries of this world is extremely satisfying. The game has a proper difficulty level to enjoy throughout.

Still great to play

Having the regular NES and being able to go back and play this masterpiece feels amazing. After almost all the other games from that era which could be tossed in the dumpster, this and Dragon Warrior were cornerstones of two golden empire series. Well worth having- this is the first of a great series.

To advance, Link must explore the overworld, a large outdoor map with varied environments. Throughout the game, merchants, gamblers, old ladies, and other people guide Link with cryptic clues.

"Kyllä, tämä peli on legendaarinen, mutta JUMALISTE se ei ole juuri millään tavalla vanhentunut arvokkaasti! Pahoittelut ryöpystä. Tämä peli on vain niin legendaarisesssa maineessa, että siinä olevat ongelmat suorastaan hämmentävät. Koko Zelda-sarjahan on jotain niin erikoislaatuista, ja tästähän se kaikki on alkanut. Pelistä löytyvistä ongelmista johtuen sitä pelatessani kyllä ihmettelin ääneen, miten tämä peli on voinut menestyä ja luoda kokonaisen pelisarjan. Idea "

"No es que no me guste este videojuego, pero aqui si que no te dice ni verga de donde debes ir, mas encima que el videojuego esta en ingles en la Mini NES, los camino son muy confunsos y a veces necesitas de cosas y nadie te dice nada, osea, aqui no se puede hacer casi nada solo. "
