And just keep in mind that if you played it when it first came out, there was no walkthrough...unless you subscribed to Nintendo Power and/or bought the game guides. The game could take months if you were young, internet-less, and stuck.

My cousin and I often wrote letters to Nintendo asking for hints.  And they replied! I don't think they had an official hint department. We just wrote letters to the address on the back of the booklet. I remember specifically asking them how to kill Gohma.  And we once asked for a map of the Second Quest overworld. And they delivered!  I wonder if my cousin still has any of that stuff...

That's awesome.

It definitely was. Really classy of them, now that I think about it.
