Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda

Legend of Zelda was produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, and released by Nintendo in 1986 for the NES platform. This is the first in a long series that helped form Nintendo into the franchise that it is today. Standing right next to Mario, Link and the Zelda are two famous characters in the world of Nintendo.

Now the objective of this game is that you, playing as Link, must go and save the princess of the Hyrule kingdom, better known as Zelda.She has been kidnapped by the main antagonist of the series, Ganondorf. Now, you complete this task by completing a series of dungeons ( 9 to be exact, not counting the finale dungeon) and collecting the eight pieces of the Tri-Force, and ancient and powerful artifact of the game. Now, most hardcore Zelda fans know the background of the Hyrule Kingdom and its inhabitants. But for any of those interested in learning more, a lot of the games past can be found in the game "A Link to the Past" (anyone else catch that play on words? Sneaky Sneaky Nintedo...LOL'z). Back to this game though, this game is full of action, adventure, puzzles, battles, and questing game play. You better watch out D and D, Link's out to get you.

Now this is a picture form "The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarin of Time But it shows the main protagonist and antagonist of the series 

Now let me get this out of the way...I really hated playing this game. Now, to all the huge Zelda fans who are ready to just send some nasty cruel hate mails, let me explain why. First things first, you are dropped into the middle of huge "map".  Now this is in " " because you have no map to actually look at, just black little screen with a dot to tell you where you are. I understand that at the time there was not enough space to put such mini maps. But to be dropped in a world that you have never been in before, with no clue what you have to do, where to go, and how to do it; I mean come on, was I the only one that found this frustrating?

There were one too many times where I walked into an area with enemies past my little rusty swords difficulty level and pretty much instantly died. Not to mention if a play didn't walk into that first cave, THEY WOULD HAVE NO WEAPON! I mean, come on Nintendo, throw us a bone or something.

I had difficulties just finding the first dungeon, not to add just finding my way around the game itself. I understand that finding your own way is what makes this game into the beloved fan extravaganza. But i like to have at least a little clue on what I am suppose to be doing. 

Also, Link, why do you constantly save Zelda anyways? she is how much older that you, and a princess, way out of your league home boy. How many games have you saved her in? and what have you got out of it? A thanks...see you next week when i'm captured again. Might as well put one of those bombs to good use, and blow yourself out of this nightmare.

Now that we got past the bad part, The Legend of Zelda did add a turning point in the gaming history. That is, it was the first to add internal saves to the game cartridge itself. It did this by adding an internal battery to power the saves for the cartridge. I can appreciate this, for with out it how could I save my Mass Effect today.

In all, the game is a classic and has a huge fan base. But I hate it and it is awful. I have never raged quit a game so many times in my life. If you want to play a real action, adventure, questing, role playing game, pick up Mass Effect 3. I haven't been able to put it down since it's midnight release...winning

And even though I hate this game, for all you hardcore Zelda fans and for all the people who want to try this challenge; I still put up a "Link" to the game...Nintendo isn't the only one who can play on words (lolz)
