This is probably the best NES game.

I'm very young (not a boomer) and I really like this game.
It stands out pretty well for having 0 story and getting to point real quick, Very hard and you really need to go out of your way to find the dungeons.

I know BOTW in a way does what Zelda 1 was doing but more expanded but I still think this game deserves to exist in its own right.
