There was nothing on the level of The Legend of Zelda when it released and, unlike other classics such as Metroid, its game design is still perfect to this day. Everything about this game was magical: The included maps, the full-color booklet, the gold cartridge... even the title screen. And then there's the inclusion of an entire second quest with a few gameplay tweaks to round out what is possibly my single favorite game of all time, all things considered.
