The Legend of Zelda Thread (NES)
This game is amazing. I don't anyone can deny it's greatness. It was the only reason why I purchased a Game Boy Advance, so I could play it after the NES died. Everything about the game is so simple and straightforwardthat it makes it so good. It still is has some challenging moments, even for the more experienced gamers. Probably the only bad part of the game is the ending. All that work and you get 6 words of thanks. Contra's ending was short but you still felt good about it.
Right now I'm plowing my way through the Second Quest without the help of the internet. I do have a map downloaded long long ago that I could use but I'd rather have the joy of doing it on my own. I've already beaten up to Level-3. I know where 4 is and am heading that way. How many people here have beaten the Second Quest? What are your favorite memories of this video game classic? (BTW. how many heart containers are there out in the world? I can fill my life up with 15 hearts and there is always room for one more, am I missing one?)

Re: The Legend of Zelda Thread (NES)
ive beaten both multiple times. so much fun. second quest is alot better because of the difficulty increase that becomes apparent later on (except for level 9, which actually gets easier imo).

Re: The Legend of Zelda Thread (NES)
Argh, now I have to look online to see where it was I missed. I've played the game so many times that I do it by memory, hence why I only make it to 15 every time. I can't imagine anyone ever picking the medicine over the heart container, ever.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm sure many people will completely disagree with what I'm about to say. I think a HUGE part of the greatness of classic games like Zelda is nostalgia. Most people love those games because they remember playing them as a kid so it has sentimental value. I never played it as a kid so I don't have fond memories of it. Now I'm sure it was a great game at the time, but so many action adventure RPGs have come out since then, that there are games that have improved basically every aspect of gameplay, interface, graphics, and everything else about a thousand times over. The game is dated and the only reason I can think to play is for the story. And it's not just Zelda. Have you ever tried playing Final Fantasy 1? It's terrible. I can't even play for a couple hours without wanting to tear my hair out. I'm sure if you played it as a kid, it still has awesome replay value. I played Mario as a kid and I could play Mario today for hours and hours without getting the slightest bit bored. But I would completely understand someone who never played before preferring to play a modern platformer instead. There are of course exceptions to this rule. Tetris is a great example. There are basically no games that make Tetris obsolete. But for the most part, I don't have much incentive to play super old games that have no sentimental value to me. Maybe it's just me.
