Legend of Zelda  Release: United States - July 1987, Japan - February 1986 System: NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) The first game that launched the best series of video games ever was The Legend of Zelda, first appearing in 1987 on the NES, then recently a remake of it on the GBA in 2004. It was a major break through for Nintendo, being the first RPG to feature a saving system instead of passwords. The story for The Legend of Zelda starts out with Ganon, the Prince of Darkness, stealing the Triforce of Power. Princess Zelda, hearing his attempt to steal the Triforce of Wisdome, shatters it into eight pieces. She is kidnapped by Ganon's forces, and her nursemaid, Impa, flees for her life. After being cornered by Ganon's evil henchmen, a young boy known as Link saves her. Sensing his courage, Impa asks Link to find the eight shattered pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, use it to infiltrate Ganon's lair, and save the Princess Zelda. The game picks up from there. In every Zelda game, the dungeons were difficult and challenging, and the dungeons in The Legend of Zelda were not much different. Link would need to obtain a special item, face off against an evil monster, and claim back a piece of the Triforce of Wisdom to advance further in the game. After obtaining all eight shattered pieces, players would come up against the evil Ganon himself. After beating the game once, a second quest was activated, in which players played the whole game again, but the dungeons were tougher. The graphics of The Legend of Zelda were typical for a NES at the time. However, the gameplay is what made the game fantastic. Like it's future rivals, The Legend of Zelda had the same idea. Enemies were fought all over the place, and sometimes doors in dungeons would not open unless Link defeated all the enemies in room, or got a key from doing so, or by pushing a block. The Legend of Zelda set the foundation upon which the rest of the Zelda games thrived and grew. Much is credited towards the game. It's obvious that The Legend of Zelda is a timeless classic, and remains so today. ~Ganondorf |
