The first Zelda came out in 1986, making it a pretty outdated agony to play. BS Zelda no Densetsu is a remaster they did with a LOT of QoL that basically made it possible for me to enjoy the first Zelda all the way through. Fuck, you can even play as a woman 😳 that's really cool.
Regarding the gameplay, it's not a boring game, but it is primitive. Even if it has a coat of paint on top, it's still very difficult to pass it blind like-- it's stupid the amount of key items behind totally random walls/sprites, and being that they look the same like copypaste, it's impossible to know unless they tell you or you try everything, because most of them are not even that "it looks suspicious", they just said "uhhhhhhhhh let's make it so you can burn this bush lol" "this stupidly long wall has 1 single tile that if you put a bomb on it, we give you 100 ruppees" and that's something I'm aware a lot of people don't like.
On the other hand, BS Zelda feels very... easy... like... I don't know if it's the graphics or that the controls are not so clunky anymore, but it feels like everything hurts you less and the projectiles are slower... also, the map is much, much smaller lol
personally i prefer more the size of this map, because it seemed too much lol
anyway, BS Zelda is really weird, since it was supposed to be part of a 1 hour broadcast event, in which an old man would narrate things to you and every X amount of time he would help you or make your quest worse, like killing enemies for you or taking away a powerup lol
i just played a version without this, but i watched a video and woah that was cool
also another thing is that this event was like weekly? and like there were 3 maps and 3 objectives
idk it's a weird game but i liked it a lot! and it made me like zelda 1
like, edmund son of a bitch it's awesome everything you took out of zelda and put into Isaac literally everything that's in zelda 1, is in Isaac lol
