I'm loving 30!Somewhat in my defense I never played Zelda until Ocarina of Time, and never owned a NES, so that sword wasn't branded into my brain like it must have been for folks who played it back in the day. I realized my mistake after a couple seconds of staring at it, but my first thought was Minecraft sword.

The NES is 31 years old going by Japanese dates. There are people with kids into Zelda who weren't born when the NES came out.

Considering mine craft is something the average person has booted up at least once in the last 20 years, mistaking the sword for a few seconds hardly seems condemnable.

I was born in 1990. I had my NES and I played the gently caress out of it including Zelda. Many times. I hated that damned wizrobe room in the sixth dungeon. I never managed to beat the 2nd quest.

I owned a NES when I was a kid, but didn't have Zelda. I played it on the virtual console a few years ago, and I was really confused, because from all of the people who still talked about it I kinda assumed it would be a good game..

I never had a NES and so I didn't play it for years later, where yeah, its a pretty rough old game and hard to get into now. SNES was my jam though and LTTP rules hardcore, even by modern standards.

Yeah, it's definitely worth two bucks. I remember playing Zelda II more, although I'm not positive I beat either of them until save states were a thing.

I played Zelda 1 for the first time a few years ago after getting it as part of the 3DS Ambassador program, and I still thought it was fun. It was neat just wandering around and happening upon the dungeons, which is easier than you think at first. My favorite moment was discovering Level-8, getting far enough in to get the Magic Book, then bailing, so that when I found the magic rod, it was already upgraded (unfortunately when I got back to clearing L8 I never found the magic key, which made Death Mountain way more trouble than it should have been). The only thing that really annoyed me about it was that Link stabs instead of swinging like he does in the later 2D games. Savestates helped though, especially with that old woman who will steal your money instead of giving you a hint if you pay her too much or too little.

I love Zelda a lot and probably excuse a lot of its flaws for nostalgia and life reasons, but the original game, by any modern perspective, is definitely a game to play with gamefaqs in front of you. They literally expect you to just walk into walls with no provocation until you magically go through them. Not even sometimes, that's like the gimmick of the later game and the second quest.

Yeah I beat the NES games for the first time just a few years ago, and I only managed to do either thanks to maps on GameFAQs. I have no idea how anyone was ever able to navigate the more obtuse segments of Zelda 2 without help.

I don't think the navigation of Zelda 2 is too difficult, at least, not in ways that Gamefaqs can help you with. If you gently caress up with directions, basically all you have to do is fight more aggravating rear end in a top hat dagger-throwing knights. It's the invisible pits, which virtually nothing but save states can help you with, that you have to worry about.

Eventually you learn where all the bullshit-pits are in Zelda 2, for example, and learn how to milk the game for extra lives.

Are there any walk-though walls that you're forced to use in the First Quest? I can't recall any right now. edit: Chronojam posted:Pain and suffering, or asking a friend.

Didn't Zelda 1 originally come packaged with a map? edit 2: This one, I think. http://www.zeldalegends.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=401&fullsize=1 With that in mind, I think it's intended that you have a map of the overworld with you when you play, and they just either didn't put it ingame or couldn't due to system limitations.

Zelda 1 could probably be made a lot more accessible if they made a 3D Classic version that gave you the option to display a proper overworld map on the bottom screen, and also added a hint system made up of short video clips like SS and OOT3D have.

I had that little paper map, you were supposed to fill in spaces and take notes.Bicyclops posted:I just played it and I could swear levels 7 and 8 have invisible wall-doors. Maybe I'm wrong though! They didn't, but 7 had one tricky to find block-hatch and 8 had some doors that funneled you down certain vertical chains.

Ah, you're right. 8 just had the groups of staircases that you basically have to label A, B, C, etc. until you could figure out what the heck you were doing and a great many of the passages were dead ends that cost you rupees.

So some (all?) Gamestops are getting a Wii U demo of Hyrule Warriors. You can play as Link, Zelda, or Midna. As of right now, at least one Gamestop near me has the demo. Your mileage may vary.
