User:XXXXX/Reviews/The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda was a pretty good game, especially for its time. It was revolutionary in that it had the player collect usable items to help Link on his quest. (No, [Super Mushroom]s don't count.)

Gameplay
Well, it was actually alright. At first, in these modern times, you would recoil at the sight of such pixelation, and expect the entire game to be boring. Gosh, is that jumping to comclusions. When you get to the first dungeon, the game almost gets addicting. It's really kind of fun.

Story
You've got your classic hero saving your classic damsel in distress from your classic villain-driven-to-evil-from-his-ugly-looks with the classic take over the world plot. However, the storyline is a bit different. The villain wants to tale something from the damsel in distress, and what's stopping him from getting it is the hero, and going forward, its not the hero just being in the villain's way, but a sort of race to get your classic valuable object made of jewelery materials with magic powers. It's got your classic whatever in the storyline, and a bit of uniqueness.

Sound
The melodies were nice, but one would much rather hear an orchestra playing a rhapsody of boss music than a bunch of beeps playing something.

Graphics
As far as NES graphics go, it was great. As far as video game graphics period go, this left a lot to be desired.

Overall Rating
