I started on The Legend of Zelda for NES.
In the first 20 minutes of gameplay, I got killed at least 4-5 times.
This game is brutal lmao - all the people complaining about BotW and its weapon durability needs to play the first game, now THAT is brutal.
Also I'll be honest, I'm following a guide as well cause the game is REALLY cryptic (at least going by past experiences when I played the game over a decade or so ago).
I got the second Sword and 6 hearts now. Havent started the first dungeon yet - still doing collectables.
