Remember 100% completing the first quest and then once I rescued Zelda I didn’t realize it just restarts your save file, aka you basically lose all of your progress…. So yeah other than bragging rights there really isn’t a reason to 100% the game because it will just automatically erase your save file every time you beat the game😅

As a fellow ‘80’s kid, I got chills & goosebumps just from the intro. Now to watch you cover my all time favorite NES game that I have probably played more than any other because of the memories it always brings back to me with every single play through. This is the one single game that I can easily play for a couple hours and never get bored. That music alone takes me back to being 6-8 years old and sitting at the foot of my bed for hours playing this and all the other classics from that time. What a magical time before life took over.

You are SO right, Jirard. When completing the game on the second quest at the age of 11 I burned every bush and bombed every wall and still couldn't find dungeon 8. Thus I called the Nintendo hotline and they gave me the vital clue to bomb the walls near the stream next to the waterfall. I never felt SO satisfied in all my 35 years of gaming and with the modern internet and walkthroughs I will never experience something similar ever again; even if I replay the game every 4 years or so and there are now many better Zelda games. Truly a marker of an era, not really possible to replicate it

10:24, I'd say yes, especially as someone overwhelmed by open world games and making decisions, I'm good at multitasking, maybe cause of my ADHD, but also because of that it causes problems for my OCD, and I end up in the middle of too many quests in open worlds or Metroidvanias, as a result I get confused and overwhelmed because I need to focus on 1 thing at a time, and I might not know which quest is the story one, either so I can take that or so I can avoid it and save best for last. Despite this, revisiting an open world game, especially early ones like Zelda, after you've already been a completionist about it... is super fun. If anyone feels that way too, I encourage revisiting games and just playing through it as is without being a completionist, especially if it's a game you can have multiple saves (thus why I sometimes buy both copies of Pokémon games, 1 is completionist the other is replay value... not on the Switch that'd get expensive (though if you got 2 Nintendo accounts no need to buy a 2nd copy), gen 5 was last time I did this I have 2 blacks because I love Reshiram, but I have Black and White 2, because XY didn't have a 3rd game, Sun after I beat it and US came out became my replay game while US my completionist file... sorry for this long side note). Point being open worlds should not be meant for completionists if you're hindered like me, but once you've done that, don't be afraid to revisit the game, might have been fearful on 1st playthrough, but you did it once don't need to complete again, and for Zelda 1, it's even less daunting. It's actually nice, and yeah just for wandering in this magical world, inspired by Miyamoto doing that as a child, heck a lot of games are that way, Pokemon too, 1 of the 3 inspirations for Pokemon's inception is a kid that wandered in forests, caves, behind every tree, on top of every mountain, a world to see, collecting bugs, just adventuring and collecting, having fun in nature as kids do.

I was born in 86' and Zelda (Link to the Past) was the very first game I "Fell in love with", I link Zelda and Link to my love for RPG's today. Before I played Zelda, I had only ever played Arcade and Platforming games. I didn't know there was a whole world of games that you played a STORY! You were the hero, you were the one fighting. I was 8 and was a avid reader already, but I had no idea games could be books too. Zelda holds a very special place in my heart.

My dad brought home an NES mini a few days later and I started The Legend of Zelda. It was much too hard for my small brain but I was still having fun, and honestly the game blew my mind all over again, especially when my dad told me how old it was. To this day I haven't beaten it but mark my words, one day I'll best this game and I'll have a damn good time doing it

I started playing it just thinking of it as a novelty or rite of passage as a Zelda fan. But the gameplay progression started sucking me in. It was genuinely exciting to find a new item or to finally track down a dungeon I had accidentally skipped. Did it without a guide and loved it!

@@joshmay2944 I wouldn't say it's more Zelda than the original. It lost much of the key aspect of open nonlinear exploration because they wanted more story, but didn't see how they could implement that with the open world style. I also think that Link to the Past simply lacks some of the mystery that made the original magical. It's great for entirely different reasons from its 2 predecessors.

Just a small correction. The Zelda Collection on Gamecube was NOT a pre-order bonus for Wind Waker, it was bundled with Gamecubes around the 2003 holiday season but was also given away by Nintendo Power, given as an insensitive to register your games, or even purchased through Club Nintendo. What was given as a pre-order bonus for Wind Waker was the Ocarina of Time & Master Quest Bonus Disc.

One of the greatest games ever, I got into this game after playing A Link to the Past and Wind Waker in 2002/2003, and I played it on my GameCube in 2004. I got hooked on the game all summer. I beat it at least 3 times a week that summer, and found new secrets every time. Went back and bought the game on the NES and every digital storefront I could, got into the modding community, and I just kept falling more and more in love with this game. The original Legend of Zelda is truly a very unique game with a magic that is unlike any other game ever made. The definition of a masterpiece. I hope future generations continue to discover this game (and that Nintendo eventually gives us a Zelda Maker Game!!!).

Man, I got this on the Wii and boy did the VC manual not prepare you for the game. I didn’t even know you could block projectiles with the shield, so I died in the overworld- a lot. I ended up only beating the first and third dungeons before giving up and not touching it until five years later when I used a guide to beat it. After beating it, I’ve probably replayed it at least two dozen times. One of my favorite games to replay.

This is one of five NES games I actually have CIB. The other four being Metroid and the Castlevania trilogy. I mean, I have games like Rygar, TMNT, Dragon Warrior, Crystalis, and all three Mario games that I have cart only and I'm fine with that. That's how highly I regard this game. I wont settle for anything less than having everything that came with it (including the map) because I love it that much. I remember seeing it for the first time at a friend's house when it came out and there are very few games that have ever existed that blew my mind like this did. Changed my idea of what a video game and the experience from one could even be like. I can't think of anything that effected me on that level again until Doom came out in 93. Yeah, it seems quaint by today's standards, but when it was new. Just wow.

I never played the original growing up, and it was even hard for me to get into back in the Virtual Console days, but ever since I got the Game&Watch it's my favorite game to take with me and dive into when I'm taking a break or end up in a long wait. No disrespect on Link's Awakening which is also on the Game&Watch, but the simplicity of LoZ just makes it feel perfect to dip in, choose a thing to do, do it, and dip out. Despite how collectible the Anniversary Game&Watches are, they're still pretty easily available at Walmart and Target. And even though they're already the most affordable Game&Watches on the market, they're often on sale for as little as $30! A perfect Holiday Stocking Stuffer!

Double that for the second quest, and it's a large game for the NES - the programming trick of saving each screen as a set of standardized columns sure helped with that (thus why each screen has certain repetitive object placements). The graphics are really done well, keeping just about everything easily identifiable while rarely using awkward palettes - any enemy blending in is actually intentional this time. It has absolutely earned its title of being one of the most influential games period, and I look forward to Tears of the Kingdom in a few months.

Nice to see some genuine love for Zelda II. It's so sad how much hate that game gets just because people aren't open-minded enough to think any bigger than "IT DIFFERENT SO IT BAD." It's a fantastic action-RPG on its own merit.

Best wishes, Jirard. You sounded a little off in this video, so I hope things are going alright. I know the G4 cancellation was rough, but you should know that you can take a break if you need one. I didn't know that New Game Plus was almost finished when I watched this on a whim, and doing all that again is an incredible act of will.

This is a very good game, which I use to own in the 90's. The irony is that I never could beat it back then, because I flat out couldn't find the 4th dungeon. It wasn't until Nintendo Switch Online launched and Legend of Zelda hit the NES app that I managed to beat the game. Thus the game joins Final Fantasy (original game) as a game I couldn't beat until it was rereleased.

after i finished breath of the wild, i kinda sat and realized that i never had beaten or really even played any other zelda game, so i just started a quest (that ill eventually make into a video) to go through and beat every single zelda game. i stared with this one and i got to dungeon 6 so far, and even though i know the ending and junk, im still having so much fun. this game is 17 years older than me but i still am loving it

Just completed it myself. Very good. I can see how important the manual is to make sense of the game. My only gripe was that you respawned with only 3 hearts

As a kid I got a used Wii for my birthday one year and the previous owners bought the original legend of the Zelda and Mario 3 off the virtual console and it was my first time playing a Zelda game I thought the games world goes on forever and when I beat the first dungeon I thought I beat the game my dad also grew up with the original Legend of Zelda so I would tell him about my experience with the game and all the cool secrets I found while playing it

I remember my brother playing the HECK out of this when I was a kid. It was almost a mythical thing to me as a little kid. Ocarina of Time was the first Zelda I ever got into as a kid, but this was like the big boy, OG version of that.

I recently bought a massive tome of knowledge namely the definitive guide to Japanese Role-Playing Games by bitmap books and reading through it it made me appreciate the early Era of jrpgs much more with the first legend of Zelda included and watching your video makes me want to go back and play it! Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Totally disagree with the rating of “Finish It.” But I am speaking from the vantage point of playing in 1987/1988. When the game ended and you found out there was a Second Quest and the items were in different places and the dungeons were completely different - IT WAS REVOLUTIONARY. You didn’t want the game to end and it didn’t. Feels like the 2 run-throughs are truly beating the game.
