you did copy it is not the end of the world but I am saying this mainly
because if somebody is going to try and make a profit of what is mine,
then this is to stop it. That is basically why I want it. If you want
to post this on your site, I suppose you can, I don't care really, just
as long as you are not making a profit from it. Try to give the credit
to me though, that'd be nice. On that note, the copyright is below.

On that note, let's get started shall we?

On a side note: If you need help and this walkthru did not help, e-mail
me. I cannot guarantee that I will know but I most likely will and I
can still try my very best although this walkthru probably has your
answer in it. Send your questions to: acec_dc@yahoo.com

On another note, I made or am making walkthrus for every Zelda game so
keep your eye open!

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

Info: Get ready to start one of the greatest adventures of your life.
This is "The Legend Of Zelda 1" for the original NES. This game broke
barriers in the world of gaming. Not only was it the very first home
console game to feature a save feature but also the style of gameplay
itself was revolutionary at that time. Up to the release of this game,
all games were 2-D sidescrollers for the most part, but when this game
came out, it had the whole game laid out in an overhead view so it
looked like you were looking at all the gameplay action from above in a
bird's eye view. There are three save slots to pick from. This is also
the very first game in the Zelda series and set many precedents that
would stick to the series until the present date. This game also was
one of the first games that had RPG elements in it. The game itself is
not an RPG but it could be considered a founding father of many genres
due to the fact that it's style was revolutionary and is what makes it
a timeless classic. The game's graphics may look like cheap '80s
graphics by today's standards but back in the day when it was released
the graphics were jawdropping. Shiguru Myamoto who made the ever so
popular Mario series also made this game. One cool feature in this game
is the Second Quest. The Second Quest is a totally different quest to
play once you beat the game the first time through. Basically in the
second quest, all the dungeons have different layouts and are harder.
This game came out in the mid 1980's. I would say that the official
American release date would be in 1987 although I believe the game came
out in Japan in 1986 although I could be wrong. Good Luck on your
quest!

WARNING! Due to the fact that this game uses a very primitive version
of saving, the saved information can be lost very easily. To avoid
losing saved information ALWAYS hold down the reset button on the
Nintendo when turning off the power. Failure to do so may erase game
files. Believe it, it has happened to me! Do the same for Adventure Of
Link.

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA STORY

In the vast land of Hyrule, there was a princess named Zelda. The land
of Hyrule was a very peaceful and prosperous land until one day an evil
being named Ganon came to Hyrule in search of the Triforce. The
Triforce was a legendary golden triangle that granted mystical powers
to the beholder. This Triforce laid in Hyrule. Ganon managed to seek
out and find a piece of the Triforce called the Triforce of Power. Once
he managed to obtain this mystical essence he became ever so powerful.
His next goal was to obtain the other known piece of the Triforce
called the Triforce of Wisdom. He knew that Princess Zelda held this
Triforce and went after her. To protect her land of Hyrule, Zelda had
to split up the Triforce of Wisdom into 8 shards and hide these shards
in elaborate underground dungeons scattered all throughout Hyrule.
Ganon did manage to capture Princess Zelda, but Zelda sent out her
bodyguard Impa to seek for help. Ganon found out about Impa and went to
go find her. Unfortunately Ganon and his troops did manage to corner
Impa in the middle of the wilderness. Very fortunately, a young hunter
named Link who was about 15 years old, and who appeared at the right
place at the right time, showed up. He was very courageous and agile
and managed to fend off Ganon and his minions. With the enemies gone,
Link talked to Impa and Impa told Link the whole story of what was
going on. When Link heard this, he vowed to be the hero and save
Princess Zelda and Hyrule. Link's quest was now to find all of the 8
shards of the Triforce of Wisdom, hidden throughout dungeons in the
land of Hyrule. Once he obtained these, he would finally be powerful
enough to enter Ganon's lair. There he would have to slay Ganon, rescue
the Princess Zelda and save Hyrule from impending doom...

Goal: You play as Link. Work your way through all 8 dungeons, slaying
the beasts inside and obtaining the Triforce shards on your way out.
Once you have all 8, find Ganon's lair. Here, you must seek out Ganon
and slay him. That is your goal, so good luck...

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA MISCELLANEOUS

This is a section with miscellaneous things that are not in any other
sections. Most of the things in here are basic things that are good to
know before playing the game.

Basic stuff:

Starting a new game: After you turn on your game you should see the
Title Screen. Press Start here and you will see a screen where you can
pick between saved game files to choose from. If you need to erase an
already exiting file press the select button until the elimination mode
is highlighted. Press Start then, and then press select until you
highlight which game file you want to erase. Then press start to erase
the file and press select to get back to the select file screen. To
register your name, press select to get to the registration mode. Press
start here and highlight which game file slot you want by pressing
select. Then you can maneuver the cursor over the letters with the
control pad and press the A button to pick the letters for what your
desired name is. Once you are done then press select until you
highlight the registration end option then press start here. If you
change your mind about erasing or making a file, you can always just
select the end option without doing anything else. To select the
desired game file to play on, highlight it with select then press start
to begin your game. Each game file will have your basic statistics you
have in your game like health, number of deaths, and name displayed
next to it on the select game file screen.
*****
Game Over Options: When you get hit by a monster you will lose a heart
or a piece of a heart. When you get down to very low health like one
heart, the game will let off an obnoxious unnecessary nonstop beeping
sound until either you die or until you refill your health past the
"danger zone". If you do manage to die, you will get a screen with
three options: Continue, Save, and Retry. Here yo
