This was the first game that had players exploring and finding the next goal on their own, instead of players getting from point A to point B. In this game, a young warrior by the name of Link. Link must find eight triforce pieces and rescue the princess of Hyrule, Zelda, from the grasp of Ganon. This was also the first game that has a progress-save feature. Many players had trouble finding the dungeons, much less in order. Secrets were also hard to find.
This game strays away from what made the predecessor successful. Although you still had the bird's eye view of the overworld, much of the game was a side-scroller. Also adding to the difference from its predecessor is a leveling-up system and a magic system. The feature was a pain because when you save your game or die, you lose you experience points (you still get to keep your level). This is hell when your required point count to get to the next level is high. The controls are loose, which is not a good thing. The Adventure of Link is highly difficult and will require a lot of skill to play through.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:
A fitting choice for this collection. Arguably one of the best games ever, Ocarina of Time had depth, innovation, incredible scenery, and a hell of a story. This is also the game that introduced players to Adult Link. In this instant classic, the great Deku Tree calls upon Link to break a curse. Link later finds out that a Gerudo by the name of Ganondorf is after the Sacred Realm, which houses the triforce. Link will travel across hills, lands, seas, and even through time. The game's story lasts seven years. Hyrule field is vast. The ocarinas not only have special powers, but can teleport you to different locations. Link now has three different arrow pc games types. Speaking of weapons, Link can only use certain weapons depending on his age. Everything about this game is wonderful and is a great addition to this collection.
In this Zelda gaiden (Japanese for side-story), Link goes on a search for a lost friend when he is ambushed by a Skull Kid wearing...Majora's Mask, a mask with evil powers. Link then pursues the skull kid to Termina, a town that will be crushed by the moon in 72 hours (three days). Link must use his ocarina to manipulate time and find four spirits that will counter the moon and the Skull Kid's power. This game has great graphics and control, but falls flat on length, especially when compared with its predecessor. This game seems rushed and the time feature just increases the repetition factor.
The biggest pain is when the game freezes. That happened to me twice. That happens at random, so be sure to save when you get the opportunity.
