I had been planning to go back and play games from big franchises that I had somehow missed when I was a kid. I was planning to play through Final Fantasy VI Advance(Thanks for the advice Kezra, I'm still planning on playing it this summer.) But after E3 and all the hype about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, I started to remember the way some of my friends talked about Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I decided I'd give Zelda a try.
To explain how I missed such huge titles, the answer is, I wasn't a hardcore gamer as a kid, I always got a game or two at a time and played the shit out of it. First it was Wario Land and Pokemon Blue for Gameboy, Donkey Kong Country for the SNES, and Super Mario 64 and Wave Race were my games for the 64. Once I got a game I enjoyed I never felt the need to venture away from it and try something new.
So now I've just turned 21 and I can't get as excited as other people about new games like FFXIII or Skyward Sword becuase I don't have the history with these titles.
Anyway, to the point! I've started playing the very first Legend of Zelda for the NES, I thought I would have to push myself to play it but it turns out I can really enjoy this game even without the nostalgia of remembering a childhood wielding a sword as Link. So, I've got the first 3 pieces of the Triforce:
The only part that seemed hard to me was that last level I did(Level 3), the boss was crazy hard, and would've been impossible without savestates.
I did read a bit from a walkthrough, but I decided that's not how I wanted to get through this game, I want to experience it properly, and that's why I'm creating this thread. For any advise that you would have gotten from friends, when you didn't have the internet for guides or walkthroughs.
Also, good job if you got through all that.
