    Jan 6, 2004
    Pros: Inventive link/password feature.
    Cons: Too similar to Zelda 1.

    Summary: This masterpiece of a game was the first Zelda game I ever played. I find that rather weird, since this game is, sadly, pretty much a shameless rip of Zelda 1 for the NES. The bosses are pretty much the same (Aquamentus, Dodongo, Digdogger, Manhandla, ... read more
