The first game in the legendary series, and my first time playing Zelda seriously. I had played BOTW but not with the right mindset, so I decided to just start playing the franchise from its origins.

This game has the story that Princess Zelda was kidnapped by Ganon using a part of the Triforce, and Zelda scattered 8 pieces of the Triforce so that Link could find and finish off Ganon. On his adventure, Link witnesses the use of various items such as his sword, bombs, candles, bow and arrow, etc.

This game's gameplay is TENSE, and for me its worst flaw is simply having enemies that are too difficult compared to the bosses. I struggled a lot with normal enemies, as well as defeating bosses so easily. But even so, it's a classic game that hooks you from start to finish.

Even though it has very easy bosses and its strange difficulty level, I recommend it to all NES lovers who have never played this game in their lives (I think this is extremely rare), you can play it and you won't regret it. After the NES Marios and Mega Mans, this is one of the best games on the console, in my opinion. A real adventure!
