Now I understand why so many people call this a classic. A masterpiece, but not a timeless one. The game is fun, some times intuitive, and I have to admit I got frustrated many times because I didn't knew were to go, but I can say that there's a reason so many Zeldas after this followed on A Link To The Past footsteps.

The sprites are beautiful, the dungeons are well made (besides that insanity of the Thief's Lair and The Ice Palace), oh and SO MANY ITEMS! the music is amazing too! You will get some of them stuck in your head too since many are now series staples.

I would recommend this to some one that wants to know the franchises history but thinks that Zelda 1 and 2 are a bit archaic. You will not regret it!
