Oh yeah, when I got the original Legend of Zelda game, I was enthralled with it. I did not have access to Nintendo Power so I was lost most of the time, having to old school it - figuring out things myself. Such a great game.
The first Zelda game I beat was the sequel, Adventures of Link. Then I beat A Link to the Past. Never beat the original though.
