Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Zelda 1

[quote name="Grumah"]I downloaded the rom and some gamefaqs and focused on beating this game a year ago or something while I was waiting for HL2ep1 or after I quit wow once or some shit. It turns out the game is still fun even today. The combat is pretty decent for a NES launch title, the graphics and sound were effective (that is what we call old and aged shit that was cool back in the day). Of course having a fully illustrated gamefaq and the ability to save states cuts down on a shitload of the time wasted and various other impossible things in the game, but Zelda 1 actually has fewer "total bullshit" moments than you might think. Especially compared to Zelda 2. I might only be saying that because I never finished the game on the original cart (I basically got the white sword and beat the second dungeon and then quit, but I was also playing on a friend's NES at the time) and I used saved states to cheat at the gambling minan gaem. The game is more enjoyable when you can just fling 255 money units at the super mega armor ring before lvl 2. Also unlike zelda 2, the fucking items you get will actually help you play the game instead of being required for one fuckass puzzle you can't progress past without (fucking raft).[/quote]
