I am one of the odd people that believes nes zelda 1 was just garbage.   without a guide you would need to burn all the bushes and bomb all the walls.  Your hints are almost nonexistent.  I dont understand why it has such a calling considering its the first zelda game,   Mario 1 was cool.  but it never got the rep zelda 1 got.  

Remember in zelda 1 there were no signs a cave or tree should be burned

Zelda 1 is pretty much an "exhaust all your options" game,  And as you discover things you had to write or journal them.

im shocked that dragon warrior and zelda 1 were both released the same year.... and dragon warrior was FREEE to Nintendo power subscribers and had many more npc's to help solve the cryptic puzzles in a no boundary world.... why that DW gets thrown aside for zelda 1.  they are slightly diffrent generas  one is live action and one is turn based.

but for the record   i have never beat zelda 1   perhaps i might stream a blind run since that would be rare
if i do it would be without a guide.

zelda 2 seemed neater  updated and lttP is a classic

But i need help understanding why zelda 1 is a fun game that more people go to before other games of that era'

For the record.  I still own Zelda 1 on nes as a cart.  It was left behind as the girl i was courting left the state.  She left it for me to complete.   But Other then the sentimental values of such girl leaving it behind. drives me to keep the game cart.

Perhaps i should message her  20 years later   and send her a recording of my completion.   That could be interesting.  i could return it to her if she wants it too.

Zelda 1 was so hard... I've never played the second one, but I have played the first. My mother says it isn't hard. Ha! I finally gave up and just put my WiiU away. We own Zelda 1 and 2 on NES, but our NES broke... So I have Zelda 1 on WiiU
