Have you played these zelda games?

There are basically 2 games I can think of that the average zelda fan hasn't even heard of yet hasn't even played.

One is called the Legend of Zelda Game Watch. Here's a picture:



The game consisted of eight dungeons with four rooms each. In each room, Link would have to collect a sword and/or a boomerang to beat his foes. As a reward, he gained a key to the next room. When entering it, though, he lost his found items and had to recollect them. The last two rooms of every dungeon also had hearts to replenish Link's health. Once all the enemies in the fourth room were dealt with, the dungeon's boss (which was always Aquamentus) appeared. To defeat him, Link had to collect a bomb and place it in front of Aquamentus. Following his victory, a Triforce fragment would appear, which allowed him access to the next dungeon.

Very fun game indeed. I actually have it. I think the game gets harder once you beat it but don't quote me on that.

The other one is the Zelda Game & Watch:



The story is about eight dragons are causing havok in Hyrule. They refuse to live in peace and they plan to conquer the land. Zelda has been captured in the battle between Hylian and dragon. Link has to slay every dragon in the labyrinth in which they hide. These dragons plan to stop Link with the aid of Stalfos skeletons, goblins and ghosts. In the role of Link, players fight their way through a dungeon on the lower screen and take on Golbins, Stalfos, and Ghosts. Controls are of course everything but complex. You can move Link left or right with the NES-style control pad, push down to refresh your health with Water of Life, up to climb stairs, and the attack button to slash at your opponents. The same button also lets you protect yourself from the back by holding your shield behind you -- an essential technique when trying to get by undead foes. There are 8 triforce pieces to obtain meaning there are 8 levels. When you beat the game, you are given a second quest with harder bosses. I actually don't have this game myself but I heard it is pretty hard.

These two treasures are extremely expensive on Ebay. Maybe you can find one of these at a thrift store or such. Luckly for the Zelda Game & Watch you can now play it on Game & Watch Gallery 4 for GBA (though you have to unlock it).

So have anyone of you played this? What are your thoughts? Feel free to discuss...

I own the game and watch and for me its even harder than zelda 2 whehe. Very nice game, Like it!

I wonder where they fit on the Timeline?

I doubt they have a spot. They are just like spinoffs-- nothing too seriously.

I must say, I haven't played them. But I wish I had: I should see to it that I get my hands on them somewhere. I do hope it won't cost me a fortune. Are these games rare?

like 3 years ago my uncle bought these for me. i didnt really like them because they were really hard. well not the watch but the game and watch. they were only for when i got bored and didnt have my sp. so i still have them but they havent been touched in ages.

I think I've maybe heard of these like once or twice... but I've never seen one before... I'm not sure if even my older cousin knows about them!

Part of me wants that watch. Then I can be goofing off during class in style... and totally not look like a game nerd in front of the cool rich kids.

DUDE
Never heard of them.
I WANT A ZELDA GAME ON MY WRIST FFFFFFFFFF

They are quite rare. I got the zelda watch off ebay for about 10 dollars (and the box it came in was banged up).

As for the zelda Game & Watch gallery, it is really rare. The cheapest I seen on ebay is like 50 dollars used and over 100 dollars easily new. I recommend buying the game and watch gallery 4 for GBA. The only downside is that you have to unlock this zelda game though....

Is the GBA Game & Watch rare too? I could play that on my DS if I could find it. I'd love to play the old Zelda time forgot....

It might be good. Zelda - Windfish (GB) was quite good!

I've never even heard of these! They sound hard & frusterating but i'd like to own them just to say that I have them. I could have some bragging rights against my other Zelda-loving friends.

The game and watch gallery 4 (for GBA) is not easy to find. You can get it relatively cheap on Ebay though...

I own one of those things:



It's a remake of the Game & Watch Zelda and part of the Nintendo Mini Classics series. You should be able to get one of those on ebay.

However, the game is hard, it's like Zelda II without any good stuff, just fighting the same enemies over and over again in traditional LCD style. But it has a story, which can even be considered to be part of the timeline, somewhere between Zelda I and II.

Wow, I never even knew the G&W Zelda was part of the Mini Classic series. I'd like to get my hands on it.

No, I've never played them.
But I would have liked to...

It makes me sad that I never even heard about these games. The watch looks pretty cool, but I think I would get distracted too easily.

i have a zelda game on my phone,
its really good actually. has music and everything
i think its kind of like a little variation of the original 'the legend of zelda.'
it has 2 parts to it as well
graphics are like the minish cap.
