I grew up mainly in the late 90's/early 00's but one of the greatest things I ever received was an NES from my grandparents along with an original gold cartridge of Legend of Zelda. Everyday after school I would come home to play either this, Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, or Ninja Turtles after I did my homework and watched Pokemon. I had a happy childhood, and truly...I wish could return to these simpler days when all I had to worry about was saving a princess or keeping my prized Charizard card safe.

Ryan ChurastheMGTOW Honestly, Nintendo's one big selling point back then *was* the graphics. I remember in every issue of Nintendo power and every commercial, Nintendo would brag and advertise about how their graphics were so advanced and ahead of their time (which they were). So it confuses me a bit when I see "longtime Nintendo fans" complaining about how graphics matter to younger kids nowadays, when that was one of the main selling points back in the '80s and '90s.

Linkfan99 You bring up some good points, but this game had solid gameplay, and was actually challenging. Back in the day, they didn't hold your hand as much. One of the newer Mario games, if you died too many times, it would give you a White Tanooki Suit, which basically made you invulnerable. Crazy huh?

This and Breath of the Wild are the only two Zelda games I've played (yeah, sue me) and I'm impressed by how they've managed to keep the same "feel" after all these decades, despite how much the series has obviously evolved with the times.
@pwnedd112 жыл бұрын
The Zelda series actually evolved in a different direction with SNES and N64 games. The puzzle solving was there, the same enemies and locations were there, etc. But the later games restricted the players' choices more. Exploration was more linear. But then... for Breath of the Wild, the developers looked back at the original Zelda in order to try to "return to the roots of the series." So, a lot of what you're feeling with Breath of the Wild was a deliberate choice by Nintendo to make the game more old school, rather than an evolution! It was a smart move by Nintendo! But if you want a different take on how the series could have developed, playing some of the other games is still worth while!

That's because Ganondorf wasn't thought of at that time. The name Ganondorf came long afterwards. He transforms into this boar-like beast after having the Triforce of Power for some time.

It obviously goes without saying, but this game had a ton of unique (and pain in the ass) enemies. The game manual was cool as far as enemy detail was concerned. Gave you a general idea of what you were going up against that the game itself at the time could't provide graphically. The enemy that sucked the most I think were called Like Like. Tube like monsters that would latch onto you and if you didn't defeat them fast enough, they'd eat your Magic Shield which meant you had to try desperately to avoid enemies with long ranged attacks like Wizzrobes. I HATED them! Sorry for typing too much. Just remembering a top tier old school RPG that was YEARS ahead of its time.

Seems it's a nice little game although pretty basic. I like how little the NPCs tell you what to do so you feel like an adventurer instead of an errand boy. This makes it where you're driven by your instincts to move forward. When it comes to graphics, they're functional, yet a bit sparse. I know NES has limited capabilities but aesthetically many improvements could be done. At many points, Startropics 2 shows how to make NES games with this point of view look good. Sound-wise, the overworld theme is rather nice but the dungeon theme is a bit too repetitive and whoever thought that constant alarm at low health was a good idea should go in the corner and think about it! Also, I think that having powered sword at low health instead of maximum would have created more interesting dynamic.

Keep in mind that Startropics 2 was released 8 years after this game. They had vastly improved data writing techniques and compression on the cartridges by that point.

Fantastic game ❤ and the "second run" was even more magical. Or however it's known in English. The second more difficult verion of the game after you complete the first. I was mesmerized by Zelda 1 and 2 back in the late 80s.

Because the Japanese and SMART outsiders actually understand that the swastika has to be in a specific position and it's arms facing a specific way before it can become the Nazi swastika. The swastika (manji) dungeon in this game is in a normal flat position and it's arms point to the left. The Nazi swastika sits on it's corner in a "diamond" or "jewel" position and it's arms point to the right. The L-3 dungeon represents a Buddhist symbol, not the hateful Nazi symbol. Use Google Images...

One of the best games ever made. I know there are better Zeldas now, but at that time it was one of the best if not the best game for Nintendo, and Nintendo was ruling the world in the 80's. That game, that golden cartridge, was legendary. If I'm not mistaken, no other game in Nintendo has ever had a golden colour on its cartridge. Not even Zelda II - The Adventure of Link had a golden colour. I was dissapointed, because I thought it would follow on from the first Zelda. But this only means that 'The Legend of Zelda' is special. Nor 'A Link to the past' (my personal favourite) or 'Ocarina of time' can out shine it.

Zelda II had a gold cartridge too. Watch SomecallmeJohnny or AVGN's review on that game.

+TomboyGamerGal Hmm.. maybe, because I also bought Zelda II with my dad when I was a young boy. But I can only recall Zelda 1 being gold.
@TomboyGamerGal8 жыл бұрын
I believe in later copies of the game they stopped making gold cartridges. Same thing happened to the original game cartridges too.

+TomboyGamerGal Well I got Zelda 2 when it was still new in the stores, I live in Sweden so perhaps Zelda 2 in gold was only available in the US/Japan?

Okay what year was it when you and your dad got Zelda II new?
