randomly decided to go through all the Zelda games in order so this is the start of that. When I was younger I was super into Zelda, and it’s weird that somehow along the way I lost that aspect. Playing this brought back many memories of that time in my life, I can vividly remember how life felt, things that were going on in my life; pausing the game, having to go out to eat with family,,,I remember these kinds of insignificant details that were involved around my life and Zelda because it really was a huge part of my identity growing up. At that age, maybe 11 or 12? I had feelings of “I got into Zelda way too late in life” it’s funny our view of life at that age is such a small percentage of living, so I think back now and it’s nice to realize that i did actually grow up with this series. You think your childhood is over 6th 7th 8th grade, but it’s not! You are making important memories and replaying this helped me find that realization. Anyway, it’s a generally a great NES game especially because of saving! after all these years I still know the exact path to take to fully prepare yourself for the first dungeon with extra hearts and the bombs. It’s the Legend of Zelda and it’s truly is rad! Go link!

Side Note: Seeing Legend of Neil many many times over the years made playing this quite hilarious as I just would quote that series constantly while playing
