Product description

Product Information
Embark on a quest to find the Triforce, slay Ganon and save Princess Zelda in the timeless adventure game from Shigeru Miyamoto that invented the genre. Originally released for the Famicom Disk System in Japan, the game arrived in the US on cartridge in 1987. In an ingenious marketing ploy, Nintendo released the game on a gold cartridge, so if you hadn't heard about the glory of Zelda, the shiny cart would definitely catch your attention. And since Zelda originated on the Disk System, the US version also included the ability to save your game status via battery back-up -- a first for the NES. The game's release heralded the end of the days when console games were all about linear quests and never-ending twitch gameplay with small level variations or increasing speed settings.

As a young teenager, I was a big video gamer. I recently purchased the retro game system which is compatible with original NES games. At this time I was a fan of roleplaying games. I bought to relive my childhood and I am fortunate to find it available at a reasonable price.

As far as vintage video games go this is one of the best. Classic puzzle type game that does not need al the fancy special effects. Make sure you ask the seller how well it works. The one I bought said it works well and I have to jiggle it in the system until it works. If you have a regular nintendo system you need this game.

The best Zelda game ever. Why? Because it's the first one. Old and Gold. Literally! Don't let the 8-bit graphics deter you from playing it. Please remember, this was the technology available at the time, and for what it is, it's a masterpiece.

Buy it, own it, play it, keep it!

my favorite Zelda game. a link to the past second, link, zelda 2 is my third .. I didn't care for any of the n64 or any other system -> kids don't know how easy they have it now -a- days. You play through Zelda .. you're a man not a kid.
