Hello Everyone, his is my first thread on the forums. I am a long time lurker, I finally created an awesome avatar , so I am on the forums now.
Just wanted to first give a little back story information about me and this game. When I was a young kid about 6 or 7, I first saw a Nintendo at my rich cousins house they had Mario and Duckhunt going on and I was amazed, when I first played Nintendo I was instantly addicted/in love. Now my friends eventually got their NES system before me, but one of my friends had TLoZ. We would both spend hours upon hours on that game, not even knowing where anything was at, back then if you didn't have Nintendo power magazine or call their hotline, you had to just find out secrets on your own with your friends. Well anyways, I finally got a Nintendo packaged with Mario and Duckhunt, and I knew I had to get that Zelda game, it was my favorite game at that time. So I told my grandparents to get me Zelda for Christmas, grandparents were cool for stuff like that. So Christmas day finally came and I already knew they got it for me, I was just waiting in anticipation, you know how it is when your a kid you can't even sleep on Christmas night when you have such a present like that waiting on you. Woke up, opened that babby in anticipation, and whats this? The Legend of Zelda, The Adventures of Link? wats dis? I was pretty exited, OH THERE IS A SECOND ZELDA GAME WOW, THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!(sorry for the caps). Okay long story short, I couldn't make it past death mountain. That game was definitely "Nintendo Hard", and too hard for a 6-7 year old kid like me.
Anyways, since I have gotten older and better at video games, LoZ is not much of a challenge like it was back then. But I have to give it credit for my first Zelda game that I owned. You can play through this whole game in one or two sittings, its not that long really. If you really wanted to get good at this game once you memorize where every creature is at, and the correct tactic to defeat them, you could really blow through this game in a day without loosing many lives, and if your really good no lives.
My personal record is 12 death for a playthrough, I have only played through the whole game twice though. I just want to know what your death count is for a single playthrough. After I had beat the game once already and I knew the tactics and positions of the monsters, It felt much easier the second go.
