Summery:
The Legend of Zelda is a 2d overhead adventure game. You play as link a fantasy hero whose mission is to save the princess zelda and get back the Triforce of power from the evil Gannon. In order to rescue Zelda you must explore the land of Hyrul collecting fragments of the Triforce of wisdom which eventually leads you to the princess and a battle with the pig-like Gannon.
Gameplay:
The NES was slightly before my time, I do own one, but never played zelda the first time around. My first experience with this franchise was the N64 release of Ocarina of Time, so any comparison I draw could be warped by that opinion. I thought about this going in, as the NES turned on and took me to the start menu I wondered if it would be any good, or if the newer games spoiled it for me. 5 Minutes in I was hooked.
The game is simple, you wander around a 2d environment looking for pieces of the Triforce, and killing enemies. Granted the game is 2d, you begin to feel for Link’s quest and start feeling a drive to finish. I powered through the first two dungeons in one sitting and was very pleased with links triumphs to that point. I found myself not wanting to stop playing even though it was an old 2d game of which I have the wii version at my disposal.
