The Gold Standard
Seeing a lot of randomisers out there being played by the favourite pastime of youtubing I got a bit of craving for playing the original game. And since it's the time of easter while playing this I had nothing else to do while stuck at my parents place for the holiday besides eating. And I could have hooked up the family SNES, but then I would have to take a break for the news and movies on the TV, but I brought my trusty New 3DS with its new battery loaded with all the games I bought during the years and never played. Time to resolve that.
Nice with a long holiday to play some video games.
Now, this game set the standard for Zelda games for a long time. Gather 3 items to unlock the master sword and then several dungeons to get to Ganon and defeat him and get the triforce to set everything right. Today I can finish the game around 10 hours in a run, but back in 1998 when we got it for the first time it took years. Mostly due to my scaredy-cat attitude. The first three dungeons fine and all, but the dark world scared me for some reason. And the dungeons where really scary. Lost woods was probably the worst, and if it wasn't the gibdos it's probably the wall-masters and the damn shield eaters... I don't know if it was like likes, but it ate my shield non the less. The graphics are pleasant, the music fantastic and the story is gripping enough and sent my mind soaring as a kid. It's still my number 1 Zelda-game. Which maybe shows that we bought this game 5 times (including the Wii U upgrade cost if you got it for the Wii first). If we look at the Game Boy Advance remake, do I miss something from it? Not really. Maybe that Maple isn't the witch assistant since otherwise it looks like every other magic shop salesman. I don't need the blonde hair or Ocarina of Time screams to enjoy the game, but it was at least portable, but my 3DS handles that well enough.
