LOZ was pleseantly awesome

I, as a zelda fan, have beaten just about every zelda game. I had always loved zelda, and still do. However, one game I always thought was awful was zelda 2, adventure of link, I honestly hated it. because of my extreme dislike of this game, I asumed the origanal zelda for the NES would be even worse. Boy was I wrong. Recently I got the rom on my ds. I have been playing it non stop. I can't beleive a game had that much depth in the 80's! I could go around hyrule for hours, collecting new items, discovering new dungeons and areas. getting more heart containers, it soooo much fun, and reminds me alot of alttp but with worse graphics and story. It's no wonder zelda is so awesome, it was awesome to begin with.


anyone else really like the origanel zelda? It seems to me most modern gamers don't play classics because they arn't as good looking as newer games. but they are missing out on a whole lot of fun!

I absolutely adore it!
The only thing I don't like is how insanely difficult some of the rooms in dungeons are. Especially in Ganon's Tower.
But it's truly a great game. Revolutionary.

LoZ is a classic for sure; very challenging but with the right amount to balance out the adventure factor. Way ahead of it's time in terms of 8-bit games.

Yep! A masterpiece!
I wish the newer games were more like the originals in terms of exploration and adventure.

I love it just like I love all the other zelda games. However, I don't understad why you dislike Zelda 2.

well, for one, the 2d side scrolling thing anoyed me like hell. It was really freaking hard, and I couldn't even find were the second temple was without using the guide on ZU. I just didn't like it.

Zelda will always be an overview or full 3D game ONLY, in my opinion. They tried the 2D thing and it was very awkward.

Zelda will always survive,
It's the best!

I actually got fairly far in LoZ once... then I just... stopped playing o.o I guess I'll have to finish it one of these days.

May I ask what NES emulator your using for your DS? I have SnemulDS for Snes games...

LoZ is quite good actually.

It's too difficult though, and pretty much impossible without a guide.

LoZ is a blast to play through, I've done it myself many of times.
AoL I've beaten only once because of the difficulty of the game. Once you beat it though, if you force yourself to play it, you'll realize how good of a game it really is, plus the final boss fight in AoL is amazing.

It is sweet and a classic.

I played the GBA port of LoZ, myself. Pretty fun, if a bit difficult.

Then I started in on the second quest. Alskfdhg.

nesDS is pretty much the best one out there. Touch the screen for emulator settings.

I'm awful at this game. I think I'm trying ti get the 3rd temple but have to pass sometihng and keep dying. You kid of have to use a guide for this game because unlike others game, Mario, it isn't a 2d sidescroller where just on. The game is made in the 80s so it's about impossible (for me) to know where to go without a guide. It's a great game though. I just suck at 80-90s games.

Pffff where's the fun in that? I never use a guide on the first go around. I will look after I beat the game to see what I missed and that's about it.

Why don't you just read a summary on the game's story... you'd probably have just as much fun doing that and it would cost you less.

I just absolutely adore each game, other then aol.... got to agree there. =] I'm on the verge of beating each game this summer...just haven't had the time during the year.

It's great isn't it The only bad thing is the difficulty
And about Zelda II, wonder what it what it would be like if Nntendo ignored the feedback and made the rest of the Zelda's like that!

Well one thing is for sure... I wouldn't spend my hard earned Rupees on any other Zelda games, if they ignored that feedback... but it too a break from the whole "connection" thing that the first game created... that's why it was so bad. Possibly?
