Amazing
July 17 2004
I love nintendo, but haven't played the original in about ten years. When the retro gameboy advance with the classic nes series came out it blew my mind. I feel like Link even handels better than the original. The game took me way back to when these games were cutting age and controllers only had four directions and two buttons, cause that was all you needed. It made me remember waking up on my eighth birthday to a brand new NES plugged into a little yellow (it was the 80's) tv and flipping my brain. This game is a must for all you estranged NES fans. It's what video games are all about.
THE Classic!

OK, come on -- it's classic Zelda, of course it's going to get 5 stars. This game literally MADE gaming into what it is today. But, what I thought would have been cool was that Nintendo should have added The Adventure of Link to this. THAT would have been awesome!! Perhaps they'll re-release it as well, I don't know. But, yes, if you're into Zelda quite a bit, or if you just want a fun puzzle-solving, sword-wielding game (and for under $20!!) get this. Not only is it so much fun, but it's nostalgic.
Return to the land of Hyrule... For the first time

I've grown up with an nes even though im 12. My dad used to play this an super mario brothers all the time and so did i later on. Although i never got to beating this game (got bored after beating level 5), its still very fun to play. The only thing i hated about the game was not the challenge, but when you almost die and your life meter beeping like hell. This is my most favorite zelda game because its the only one where it really doesnt tell you where to go next. What i mean by this is after you beat a temple, someone or something doesnt say anything on the next location but dont worry, each temple you enter says what level it is so you know if your supposed to beat it or not *ex: i beat level 1 an 2 but then i find level 6. I turn back because i never beat levels 3, 4 an 5 to aquire the certain items in those temples in order to get past level 6*. There are also caves containing townsfolk where you buy valuable items, information, or free info and tasks. Now, thats just the underworld part, the overworld is a huge map with areas like forests, mountains and such with monsters, caves, temples (levels), and secrets all over the land and like i said, i like this zelda game the most because you always got to figure out where to go next which can take longer than you think if you dont use and guides or FAQS. And thats more than half of the game; wandering in circles, solving mysteries to get to the next location in temples as well as how to find items like maps, compasses and special weapons in each temple, searching for upgraded items such as swords or boomerangs, finding temples, caves, defeating bosses in temples with each boss having its own stragety where you need to figure out its weakness by using countless items on it. Then after you beat the 8 temples and collect the 8 triforce pieces, you can finally enter ganons lair and save the princess Zelda in this fantasy adventure of endless fun. The differences i noticed from this and the nes version is this has a different audio of the same music (so it sounds alittle weird), the sound affects kinda changed, and the controls can be alittle akward so all in all the NES version is better but the gameplay in this is still exciting all over again and i can only thank Nintendo and every customer who supports it. Thank you, Nintendo. and as for the rest of you zelda and non-zelda fans alike, give this game a whirl, I think you will be in for a surprise.
