The worthy beggining of a Legend.
User Rating: 9.5 | The Legend of Zelda NES
I don't understand why the Zelda fans don't like this game. I think that this game is great. it's true, that it's very heavy, but really enjoyable. And it's distinguishes from the other heavy games. Why is this game enjoyable? The music is fantastic. It doesn't have many songs, but those few are great. There are nine dungeons. Theirs difficulties are different. The first three dungeons are easy, but the fourth is hard, and the fifth is easy again. I think the easiest dungeon is the seventh. The game is long, that's why they decided that it's possible to save. And it was revolutionary, because it was the first game in the console history, where we can save. It was revolutionary in the controls, because in the NES games usually we can go in only one direction (right) but there is full freedom of movement in all four directions here. And the place is huge. Usually the NES games has just few screen expansion, but this game's playground is 16×8, and it doesn't include shops, caves and dungeons.
And the game has a story: Ganon, the king of the thieves gained the Triforce of Power. But this isn't enough for him: He wants the Triforce of wisdom. Zelda knows it, and she breaks the Triforce of wisdom onto eight pieces, and hides it into the deep of the eight Dungeons from Ganon. Because of this, Ganon steals her, and forces her to reveal the place of the pieces. Zelda doesn't tell him, because she knows that Link went to save her.
The essence of the game: At the beggining we get the sword and the shield, whereby we can go to our adventure. Our task is collect the eight pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, and go to the ninth Dungeon to defeat Ganon.
For cue: This is the first Zelda, what is very hard, but very enjoyable.
