I have seen quite a few people praise the original game for either being the first in the series, introducing open ended gameplay, or giving players that freedom to explore. But I have also seen a large number of people say that they think the first Zelda is jut unplayable, too hard, totally lacks any story or motivation, or the game is just that out of date and annoying to attempt. I wondered if it was more of a generational thing, if some people who played it back when it was either still new and relevant, or if it was one of the first games they played. While others who began playing with the 3D games find going back and trying this just impossible. But then I saw quite a few newer gamers try it and love it.
So now I am just curious about the members here, do you like playing the original Zelda? If so/not then why is that?
For me I don't mind it. Yea the game is hard at points but so is nearly every NES game ever made. Compared to most it is not so bad, and I only really have trouble with the darknuts. And that is still true in Wind Waker. I think of all of them it has me looking things up the most, either where some secret is located or how do I get pas some obstacle. It definitely has me torching every bush and bombing every rock with a few creative results on part of the developers that I would not have expected of an 80's era game to have.
