You wouldn't think it, but doggone it, this game is incredible. My favorite Zelda game is a Link to the Past, so I might be a bit biased for the 2D Zelda's. But wow. This is a great experience and honestly holds up as a really fun game even in this day and age. Exploring the map and solving the puzzles is really satisfying, getting upgrades to health, the sword, your armor, it's all addicting. I was hooked until I had been through every last dungeon. Excellent stuff.
That isn't to say it does have a few flaws, I think it's a major downside that many of the games secrets were contained in the instruction manual, which is hard to follow in digital format. I had to look at a guide for the last few dungeons for some tips and tricks because I kept dying and just could not find them (they are hidden away like you wouldn't believe), but besides that dated game design... it's good. Surprisingly good.
Had a lot of fun grinding for rupees and going through the dungeons and I really do recommend this old title if you're a fan of Zelda games, especially the one's that are in 2D. Played this on the Game and Watch Zelda Edition.
