So childhood, we meet again.

My late 80s Saturday nights... "Don't turn the power 0ff"!!!!!!

[@OfficialSNMvids]

I remember I had friends that had this game, but never really cared for it for some reason and when Zelda II came out I preferred that game over this one and still do. One day I finally decided to by a used copay for like $2-5 at a game store and finally beat it, but I did use maps for the game just to get through it faster. Great playthrough!!!

[@RetroPiero]

It'll always, slightly annoy me that Zelda got a battery save backup but Metroid didn't. Still good game.

[@VahanNisanian]

The original Japanese version of 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘥 on the Famicom Disk System had it.

[@BaccarWozat]

TBH I never cared for the battery save. Back in the day I was paranoid about the battery wearing out and ruining save functionality, and then what-- send the cart to Nintendo to fix it? I was so upset about this that I even wouldn't buy an NES until they addressed the issue. Finally I relented because I realized the games would be playable for at least a few years. And there were games like SMB3 which didn't need this.

[@hannes8835]

This was the first game I've ever played. The 2nd Quest was so much harder.

[@MBRetroGamer]

nice zelda Nes, top

[@VahanNisanian]

19 official titles, and still going strong.

[@johncraw8572]

[@HollowaysIdea]

Pro Tip: It’s more Entertaining to the viewer when you use all your weapons and items consistently, not just the Sword 🗡️ & bomb💣 (on all games)

[@bradhedgehog12]

I’m surprised that you can go without the sword....but your still gonna need it

[@carloscalleperez]

bro use the arrows with the rabbits they die with one shot, and the bats with the boomerang

[@victor.elkins]

Um, just now getting around to the original Zelda? Surely something happened to the original video. Or some new strategies are being implemented?

[@twonumber22]

a wizard hiding in the bushes said to read the description

[@ikagura]

Main + Second Quest and all upgrades.

[@victor.elkins]

@@ikagura Nice!

[@ssg-eggunner]

Tbh i prefer the FDS version

[@ikagura]

A bit lackluster compared to its sequels but it has the basis.

[@EnjoySackLunch]

Spoken like someone who wasn’t alive when it came out.
