If you play Zork, do yourself a favor and make a map. Take out a pencil and paper and note where every direction takes you, starting from the beginning of the game. That way, you'll be much less frustrated by getting lost. Alternatively, you can look up the official map if you have trouble visualizing the directions.

Aside from that, this game is probably the best text-based adventure game there is. If you're thinking of getting into text-based adventures, this is your golden ticket to start.
