The Legend of Zelda (NES) Under 1 Hour & Deathless Challenge [Original NES Capture]

Welcome to Hyrule!
Today, we take on the challenge of beating the original Zelda in under 1 hour with 1 life.
This is a great journey through an excellent route that allows you to beat the entire game in under an hour with all 9 dungeons in order and less than perfect play. From the time of selecting the play file to freeing Princess Zelda, it's about 58 1/2 minutes. Hope you enjoy!

Awesome run and great commentary, my friend. It was really fun to work on this with you and so cool to see it up on the channel. This particular run had several clutch moments which made it very entertaining to watch again. Looking forward to working on more challenges with you in the future and thank you so much for the heartwarming shoutout! It really means a lot.

Zelda is an awesome title. Even if it isn't multiplayer, it was always fun to get friends together to play.

You should do beating and reviewing on the classic Metroid games! I think you’d have fun playing them, especially Super Metroid which is my personal favorite! :D

This game consumed my childhood and beating it as a kid was so satisfying. Insane run dude! I've gone back and beat this as an adult in about 2.5 hours but definitely not in one life.

You've earned this piece of the Triforce. 🔺

[@RaleighRetroGamers]

Nice work mate!!🏆 This game I only beat Level 1, barely played this game. Eventually I want to beat Level 9 after playing many other games first! Cool content on your channel!!!🏆 I watched your Super Mario World Secret Exits ranking video a few hours ago and got too busy to comment there but did watch it fully but am commenting here due to being busy when I finished watching it, another great video mate!!🏆 I don't remember Super Mario World too well despite beating it on GBA remake/port whatever it counts as remake or port, not sure as well as the PAL region SNES cart NOT included on Super Mario All Stars, (the version I beat), I like Super Mario World but no where near as much as other Super Mario fans. Some of my favourite video games of all time include DK Country series, Banjo Kazooie and GoldenEye 007 N64 game plus Perfect Dark N64 but these games that are among my favourite are a very short list of my favourite games! I love Nintendo games, not all major series of Nintendo games but some series plus the 90s and early 00s RareWare made my favourite games of all time. Still need to get into the NES Legend Of Zelda1 don't care about Link's Adventure for NES. Super Mario World for SNES is a good game but never loved it nearly as much as other Super Mario fans do! My really loved games on SNES are Super Mario All Stars any game on it, Super Mario Kart, SMW2 Yoshi's Island and my favourite DKC series especially Diddy's Kong Quest!!! I should try to beat DKC 1 on SNES in under an hour deathless one day! I got 101% in 51mins In Game Time, single segment with minimal death/s on SNES Classic Mini! Great content mate, really enjoying your videos!! Like I said, you helped me beat GoldenEye 007 on N64 even helping me in World ranking competition for the Elitedotnet, (GoldenEye 007 N64 and Perfect Dark N64 speedrunning community for world ranking competition), where I rank very poorly but beat all GoldenEye's 007 and Perfect Dark's Target Times and completed all 20 00Agents and 21 Perfect Agents too! Needed to skip the 2nd half of Aztec on 00Agent using stuck Mainframe glitch, that level is brutally tough!!!!!!!! Perhaps I'll study this video upload of your's in many years into the future to beat Zelda1 for NES but casually defeating Level 9 for my first time, only beat Level 1 so far! Great content mate!!! Enjoying your great videos!!!🏆

[@StephenYTchannel]

Also, congrats on beating Zelda1 NES, deathless, under 1hour, Levels in order, impressive feat mate!!!🏆

[@SUMMEYWISE]

Came across your Zelda run from your buddy sharing it. I enjoyed this so much, I’m subbing!

[@MarMaxGaming]

@@SUMMEYWISE thanks, man!! Which buddy, was this on TheNesPage or somewhere else? I appreciate and welcome you with open arms!

[@jackmorford705]

Fun to watch. I play LOZ pretty much everyday on the Game and Watch that Nintendo released a couple years back. Great video!

[@MarMaxGaming]

@@jackmorford705 wow that’s awesome!! Thank you, Jack! Love hearing from such an avid LOZ player!

[@almeidachannel7121]

Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Zelda Retro Games !

[@LITTLE1994]

[@retrogames6969]

Insanity. I can't beat the first level without dying 😅

[@CleanFabCollective]

In 1 hour accomplished what took me a year to do

[@Keith-k3m]

Hey! I make The Legend of Zelda (NES version) ROM hacks and would love to see you try to tackle one. They are tricky and challenging. Definitely will make you think at times. I can E-mail you one if you would be up for the challenge. I changed shops, dungeon locations, dungeon items, dungeoun maps, outside world map, secrets and more. I would enjoy watching people playing blind play through

[@MarMaxGaming]

@@Keith-k3m hey Keith! That’s really cool you’re making hacks and challenging yourself & other Zelda players! This was more of a one-off challenge video, I might do more like the 2nd Quest, LTTP, and Link’s Awakening but doing unedited blind plays isn’t necessarily my type of content since I try to cut and deliver something specific like a certain style of coverage or certain challenge… Im sure there are a bunch of Zelda fanatics that would love to check your creation(s) out though, feel free to share the resources and try reaching out to more Zelda oriented channels too!
