#69. The Legend of Zelda (NES, 1987)



The Zelda series built so much off of the core mechanics from this game, adding and tweaking and improving things, but also changing a lot of what makes a game Zelda. But really, just being down to the basics of exploring and collecting and discovering and adventuring is all this game needs to be good. It's a simple game, but there's a lot to it. This overworld still might be the most fun to wander around in (although, I haven't played Breath of the Wild yet).

The randomizers for this game have helped my enjoyment of it, even though they're not technically this game. I haven't actually played them much, but I've watched quite a few races. I think LoZ randomizer races come out to just the right time length, not too long or short of a game. It's also helped me better understand the mechanics at play in LoZ, and it's all very interesting stuff.
