The Legend of Zelda is probably the best NES game I’ve ever played. It’s also the first NES game I’ve ever completed.

To start off… I will say that without the help of a guide (my girlfriend literally being my map), I would have never finished this game. Therefore I just can’t rate it any higher because the navigating in this game is ridiculous. But onward we go…

With an incredible score, addictive gameplay, an epic scope, and a simple premise, the game manages to capture a magic few other classics are able to.

It’s a game that almost 37 years after its initial release, still captivated a new player who never touched an entry in the franchise. But now I will. And it’s so comforting to know that the other games that succeeded it are met with so much more love.
