That, Commando, and Metroid were the games my buddy had that really sold me on wanting to get a Nintendo in the first place. Hell its one of those games I could probably pick up and play right now and plow through the whole thing today, even though I haven't played it in years. Zelda I and Metroid I are the kind of games where the context of that era help significantly. ALttP and Super Metroid both took what worked in the originals and fixed what didn't. Zelda was especially hindered by wonky translations that made some secrets pretty hard to decipher without a guide, and a lot came down to bomb every wall and try to burn every bush. Well yes, but actually no. Old games used to come with these wonderful things called manuals, maps, and charts. Many of the Zelda secrets were not that difficult to find back in the day, and were in fact written in publications. The second quest, however, was a completely different story. <cite>kukukupo posted [p:922631986] in It was a h...
