The Legend of Zelda

"Welcome to THE LEGEND OF ZELDA. Where the only sound you'll here is your own heart pounding as you race through forests, lakes, mountains and dungeonous mazes in an attempt to restore peace to the land of Hyrule. Along the way you'll be challenged by Tektites, Wizzrobes and an endless array of ruthless creatures who'll stop at nothing to prevent you from finding the lost fragments of the Triforce fo Wisdom. But don't despair, with a little luck and a lot of courage, you'll conquer your adversaries, unite the Triforce fragments and unravel the mystery of THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!"

Those words were straight from the back of the box, you know what to expect from this game. This is the 1986 Nintendo classic, the original Legend of Zelda, and it is a classic indeed. There are eight dungeons with a boss at the end and a piece of Triforce in the next room, many weapons and items and pig-boy Ganon (spelt "Gannon" in this game) makes his first appearance. At the end, you defeat Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda. But those who have played Ocarina of Time will know that there is 3 pieces of Triforce, Power, Wisdom and Courage, only Power and Wisdom are mentioned in this game, so where is the Triforce of Courage? See the 1988 sequel, Zelda 2 : The Adventure of Link for full details. Or alternativly, visit Nintendo Heaven's sister site, the Land of Hyrule.
