Absolutely no way in hell was I finishing this game without a guide. I managed to get about halfway through before I was just running around in circles. It turned out I'd missed a lot of items I needed, too. So thanks to Zelda Dungeon for getting me through the rest of the game.

Despite needing a guide, I still had a lot of fun and it was nice to finally play through the original game. Like my current run through of the Mario games, I might do the same with these. I'm quite keen to jump into Zelda II now.
