How did you start zelda?

[nordlead]

i was 5, and i got a NES for my birthday with the Track and Field Package. Well, the pad broke within a couple days so I went back to ToyRus (yea the store rocked when i was 5...) and returned the NES and got another with just the Mario/Duck hunt combo.

With the extra money I got The Legend of Zelda: The Adventures Of Link instead. I tried to beat the game and I even got to the part where you use the spell to get the magic key (whatever it was called that let you open all doors) but every time I used the spell, the magic meter would overflow and then white stripes would drop down the screen and the game would freeze. I ended up having to restart. I never beat the last palace without cheating because of losing the save data because someone didn't hold the reset down while shutting the system off.

My brother, who was 7 at the time, beat it like 2 times by sheer luck. On the fifth palace he got the "0" sword, which was super powerful and he went on to beat the game. Then another time he got to the last palace and our babysitter decided he would try the game so he gets to shadow link and turns into a fairy, and he wins... yea...

I still haven't beaten the game but it definitely is my favorite Zelda game. I've beaten all the other console games, and a few of the GB games.
