In recent times a legal Zelda I clone was released for the
PC, known as Zelda Classic. The best part is it comes with
an editor to make your own Zelda I style games, but adding
certain things here and there. It is still a work in
progress, but nonetheless it is interesting.

Though I do have a link to the Zelda Classic page, I also
carry the Zelda I Rom, which is only a small download,
while Zelda Classic is 3 megabytes. Remember, you must own
the cartridge in order to download this game legally, or
you can only keep it on your PC for 24 hours.

The Legend of Zelda is one of the
first video RPG games in our history, and the first action
RPG ever. Released in 1986, it was one of Nintendo's first
games to feature a "save game" ability, as well as
a massive player world. The original classic, Zelda, introduced
payers to a world of fantasy and myth known as the kingdom
of Hyrule.
The only real negative in this
particular Zelda title is the lack of villages, multiple
NPCs (non-player characters), and the famous Zelda
"side quests". Nonetheless, Zelda has been known
as one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
In this first title, Link is called up
to unite the pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, which Zelda
divided up to keep hidden from Gannon, the dark prince. Then
of course, he must rescue Princess Zelda from Gannon,
himself. |
