Date: January 16th, 2018 11:25 PM Author: Citrine Arrogant University Wrinkle I was playing it on and off recently on an emulator and it reminded me of playing it as a little kid.
the sense of mystery and discovery, solving some of the puzzles through trial and error or even word of mouth. You could just wander the overworld and accidentally find something. The concept of saving too, this was a big game, who knows how long it will take you to uncover all its secrets. My friends and I would speculate on what happened at the end and then I started hearing rumors of the 2nd quest, a whole new adventure awaiting after you completed the game, a major achievement itself.
There were really no console games close to it at the time. There were some computer RPGs that were but they required a $2K home PC and I was too young to really play them, plus they didn't have a soundtrack like Zelda |

Date: January 16th, 2018 11:38 PM Author: Citrine Arrogant University Wrinkle also consider the context of the time, a home game like Zelda or even Super Mario Bros was considered a gamble in its day iirc
the thinking was still people want to compete for high scores, but he thought he could make games that people would be interested in just completing |

Date: January 16th, 2018 11:44 PM Author: Citrine Arrogant University Wrinkle Metroid and kid Icarus both were and metroid was 180 but it came out a little later iirc
friends and I spent countless hours playing Metroid too, both it and Zelda were such new types of non-linear games it kind of stumped you at first |
