Don't expect the internal memory to work

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
Zelda's a great game, but it's old, and the Save Game feature relies on an internal lithium battery. After 22 years or so, I doubt there are many left with working batteries, and they're soldered onto the board so even a skilled electronics person would have a hard time replacing the battery without rendering the cartridge unplayable. Let's be honest, most NES cartridges are barely playable to begin with. I remember even when NES was new, you often had to try to start the game dozens and dozens of times before it would work. So trying to conduct any operations on a cartridge is almost sure to kill it. Zelda is a long game, so unless you have no plans for the next two weeks, you'll find it very frustrating to have to start over every time you turn the game on. You could just leave the game on indefinitely and just pause it when you need to eat, sleep, work, watch tv, etc... but that's risky too because if your kitty so much as brushes up against the cartridge bay, it'll glitch out and your hours of labor will be for naught. So keep this in mind when buying any ancient NES or SNES games with internal memories.

It's a fun game

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
It is a fun game but can be tough sometimes especially if you don't have very many heart containers. I never finished the game because it was a little to hard for me, but I enjoyed it none the less.

Great for its time...

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
Many years ago, a very important game was released and this, Legend Of Zelda was it. On todays standard (Late 2006), it doesn't compare at all, but we can always imagine what impact it had on the average gamer when it was first came out. Again, compared to today, it is simplistic, short, and has failed graphics. It took me about 8 hours to beat the first quest and I have no interest in playing the second quest (at least yet). Though it still adds to the replay value, somthing mildly new still awaits me when I feel an urge to play it again.

On another area, it had great graphics for its time and we can't really punish it for not doing the immpossible. Since we do live in a different time then this game does, it will not excite you as much as it would have back then. Legend Of Zelda if first class game and should not be missed by anyone who enjoyed any Zelda games. It will give you a few enjoyable hours and offer you a glimpse of the beginnings of this wonderful series.

The Greatest Video Game of All-Time

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
This is the greatest game ever created on any console. With smooth and exciting game-play and catchy music The Legend of Zelda is highly addictive. It is simple to play yet challenging to master. All of the fun secrets and puzzles along with straight forward battling help propel this one to the top.
