About to embark on a project I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: I’m playing through The Legend of Zelda, on an NES hooked up to a CRT, with only the manual and original map to guide me, just as though I were a kid in 1987. Wish me luck!
Going to turn this into a thread as I play through. This cartridge I picked up from a local shop already had a save file for “BUTT”. Looks like the person died 17 times and made no progress. No way I’m deleting that - I’ll save my file in slot 2.
I completely forgot about these screens where the camera suddenly shifts to being from the side rather than top down. Thought they only did this in Link’s Awakening! Also wild that you get BOTH the bow and the boomerang in the first dungeon, but if you actually want to USE the bow, you have leave the dungeon entirely, grind for money, and buy an arrow for 80 rupees! Wild game.
@adamconover It's the Gilette business modell!
