A Link To The Past by miles. It's so good in every single way. It has a perfect difficulty, wonderful world, great dungeons (and plenty of them) and you can explore as much as you want, but it doesn't get frustrating because you can always get a hint of what to do next.
But playing The legend of Zelda NES is like when you are born. Once you are old enough they throw you into the world, without any explanation of what you have to do or where you should go, and you start wandering around like a headless chicken like, dude, I need a manual for this, what the hell am I suppossed to do??!! It's so damn cryptic that it's frustrating and depressing. And that's a perfect explanation of how I feel about life and NES Zelda
