I understand now why the birds-eye-view is key to the game, especially while in the dungeons. I thought that the view as you moved through the different rooms, and navigated your way, was to some degree enjoyable, since it makes it feel more 3D even if it is still just a scrolling screen (aka it scrolls in every direction). I also wanted to mention that i was confused that you could get money and buy things in this the original Zelda because I could not remember doing such things in Zelda 2. If this was true, its seems like this game is slightly more complicated than i thought. Other then that, i'm still getting use to the fields of enemies you have to find your way through. I am unsure as to if its better to fight alot of bad guys early on and buy a shield, or if the running through in a Pac-Man-esque style would be better. This complex running away and being able to change dirrections very quickly is it seems, a very valuable skill in this game. I do like that usually once you beat the enemies in an area they do not come back, that would seem unnececssary. i also enjoyed that there are multiple weapons in the game, including the bummerang.

I actually never played this original game when i was litte, but fondly remember playing Zelda 2 : the Adventures of Link, which i was obsessed with. So, to my suprise ( and in my opinion)this game is nothing like that game. First off, the birds-eye-view type of map layout is alittle wierd and odd to deal with, but the fact that this game has many different paths to take is a plus. interestingly enough i found myself wanting to instantly take the path that people in class had yelled was the right way to go - i had remembered that path even though i saw it once. I think there something in video games to which we memorize paths and lands in a way that we can not do by just looking. So yes, i keot dieing and dieing, which was getting pretty frustrating, and barely getting any better. I seem to have unlimited lives, which i guess is a plus, but i am unsure if this stays the same as i progress. If i die, do i just die no matter where i am, and i go back to start? If so i can see that getting very annoying...BUT i can also see that since the game has a few simple elements, that you would keep comming back to play. After 45 min i finally found myself in some kinda dungeon.
