The GBA port for ALTTP is one of the first few games I got on the system when I was younger. I'd always just get all three pendants, and get lost on what to do next. I think I might have rescued one or two of the maidens, but that was always where the game stopped for me.

I decided to finally take the time to play through it start to finish on an emulator, since I was feeling a little bit "sour grapesy" from my inability to afford the new shiny Zelda game. I had a decently good time with it, and it definitely still holds up very well. I've never been too big of a Zelda fan, all things considered, but it held my attention all throughout. Maybe I should start giving the series a more thorough look.

Unfortunately, while I tried to play without a guide, I did cave during certain sections and had to look up how to proceed. These retro games can be pretty obtuse, man...
