Yeah I was 5 playing the original and beat it but my Mom helped me a lot. I was good at killing the creatures and whatnot but I got lost a lot. She helped me with the map and she helped me mark the dungeon locations and whatnot. I remember using the candle and just burning random bushes. Before you got the red candle you could only use it once then go to the next screen and come back if you wanted to try again. What a pain! But at 5 I loved every second. Thank you Alisoun for saying im not that old
As hard as Zelda 1 and 2 were on the NES(at 5 years old) I always thought Ninja Gaiden was much harder.
