After beating the boss of the first dungeon which was a dragon called an Aquamentus, the exploration continued. I spent much of my second hour of Zelda remembering some of the secrets and wonders of the game. There are certain points on different walls and cliffs that can be bombed. Inside there is a secret cave and the player can choose between a potion that gives the player all of his hearts back or another heart container. The heart container is a far better choice as it increases the total amount of Link's life unlike the potions that can be bought. Other great aspects of the game including unique environmental puzzles such as coming into a "lost woods" kind of maze where the player has to take the right direction to make it through a certain area or room.
There are so many great puzzles in this game. The series has always been known for it and you will often find yourself pushing blocks, finding keys, and exploiting the weakness of certain enemies to progress. There are also many parts of the map that are unavailable until a certain item is obtained. This gives the game a sense of mystery and makes the player desire to explore and find everything. The game is amazing and though by some of our current standards is not as complex, it will still stand the test of time making it one of the best games ever made.

The Legend of Zelda is a definitive classic among all videogames and it helped the nes propel to huge success. I have played the game before but it has been some time so this is a kind of review/replay.
The Legend of Zelda begins with our wonderful protaginist Link preparing to save his princess Zelda from the evil Ganon. This journey begins with Link surrounded by dirt, and brush and venturing into a cave to claim a sword. The adventure then continues and the player is given many options. The entire point of THe Legend of Zelda is to explore the world and find all of the secrets and dungeons. Controls are relatively simple and Link always uses his sword with b and one of many secondary items with a. After some exploring, Link can cross a bridge and find the first dungeon. Dungeons are separate then the overworld and essentially involve Link fighting enemies, finding keys, getting the special item from the dungeon, and (usually) using it on the boss.
The weapon found in the first dungeon is the boomerang and can be found after defeating some moblins. The battle system in the Legend of Zelda is top notch and is surprisingly intense and responsive for a nes game. This play through has reminded me why the Legend of Zelda is such a classic and amazing game.
