The first quest for us, but not for Link!
Back when video games were simple, yet fun, who would've thought that The Legend of Zelda was not Link's first adventures (Super NES was when they started creating more prequels on Zelda games). Before 1987, many Nintendo licensed games were all sports, linear adventure games, third person shoot em' ups, and puzzles, but when The Legend of Zelda was released in the US, all that was about to change. It was one of the first NES games that had a advanced chip that allowed us to use a file/save system, instead of complicated passwords (like Metroid and Kid Icarus). The game is a maze, but its a fun maze with improved graphics for its time and fun RPG like gameplay. The game also contains a few simple objectives; find 8 pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom that is hidden in 8 different castles (guarded by different creatures from a three headed dragon to and one eyed fire shooting spider), find the evil Gannon and defeat him to save Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Power. Along the way, you will come across many wierd creatures that you must ward off with three different swords, find different items and weapons that will help you progress, and contantly visit fairy fountains that will increase your life because this game is still difficult. I can go on about how fun this game is and how to progress, but I will leave that to those to the novice players. Those who never played this classic will not be dissappointed if they buy and try. I've been playing it for over 20 years and it still works on my 20 something year old NES.

Not as depicted paid 70 dollars for just the cartridge and its in rough shape to say the least and less than 30 days later the chip has failed making it unplayable

Must own NES game
I never played this game as a kid, so I am not blinded by nostalgia. This game is incredible. It is so complicated and long compared to just about every other NES game. If you are looking for an action adventure game on the NES, this is the game to get. Graphics: 3/5 This is game came out in 1986 so it's not a graphically impressive game like Kirby or Bee 52. The graphics are good enough and are better than the first Super Mario Bros. The items and enemies are identifiable at least. Sound: 5/5 I really like the soundtrack and I don't find getting annoyed by it even when playing for a long time. Gameplay: 5/5 So much to do, so many ways to do it, and lots of replay-ability. You travel around a map and collect items to use to continue on your quest to save the land.

Best Video Game Everrrr
I've played the majority of Zelda games and I. Don't. Care. This one is and will always be the best, hands down, forever and ever. Maybe it's just the memories I hold so dear (all the handwritten notes & maps I made with my dad as a kid before the internet was a thing) or the music (aka soundtrack of a fabulous childhood) or the thrill of trying to advance at all AND save before someone accidentally hit the Nintendo amidst wrestling or backflips or something (OOPS) or the excitement of rediscovering all the different new stuff after beating it for the first time. Or probably all of that and more (like playing it with my kiddo now and using Grandad's maps and notes, and not using our phones to lookup cheats and stuff). Regardless, there will definitely never be another. This one is pretty amazing (and maybe holds a special place in my heart idk, lol:)

My favorite game ever
This is the best video game ever. I had an original NES and the Legend of Zelda games for this system are the absolute best. I love this game so much I am trying to replace my original copy. I loved the adventure of the story, there was quite a world to explore considering what video consoles had been up to this time. Game play was often challenging but never too hard, I played the game through to the end countless times and it never gets old. An iconic start to the Legend of Zelda brand!

Not as advertised
Just a beat up game. Not at all as shown in picture. Doesn't come with booklet, sleeve or box. Doesn't even disclose items not provided.

Do not buy!!
I was super excited about receiving this game in the mail. And was super disappointed after I actually got it. The cartridge barely had any gold left on it because it's so scratched all over. Also there was something loos on the inside that could be heard rattling around. And the game didn't even work at all. I tried cleaning it and cleaned my NES and could never get it to work. I am returning this as soon as I can.

Fantastic game that started it all
This game is one of the most fun RPGs I had played as a kid. Itès fun to explore the map, find secrets, fight enemies, meet old men in caves, kill dinosaurs, moblins, octoroks and all within a totally open world that you discover and have to map out yourself!
