Final Review:
Graphics- Considering the limitations of the times, this game had pretty good graphics. The visuals on the background and the objects were better than most other NES games. At the very least, the game gave Link a face; some games have problems doing so. The graphics, although not stunning as other games of the NES, are more than enough for comfortable gameplay. 4/5
Sound- The audio for the game is good and consistent. Again, to stress on the lack of options, the game has a variety of sounds for many different contexts. The music obviously is great for its time, and sets and appropriate tone for the game. However, the music gets repetitive and the sounds are not as great as other games. 3.5/5
Plot- An awesome plot, the plot of the original LoZ keeps the game in context. The ability to appropriately tell the story as well as it has, this game even upstages modern games. Also, the story of the game is very interesting and full of substance. This game attracts the gamer to the story and the characters with the twists and turns, allowing an attachment to the overall game. This game did a great job in delivering the story to the gamer. 5/5
Gameplay- Obviously the best quality of the game, the gameplay is complete in every way. This game is part of each catagory: action, adventure, RPG, and puzzle game. Yet, this game does a splendid job of mixing them together so that it is difficult to define concretely. The mixture of many element supplies massive entertainment, along with its non-linear style. Also, the ability to free roam the gameworld without strict narrative barrier adds enjoyment and substance to in-depth gaming. With this, the gamers can investigate every nook and cranny this game can offer. This game pushed the limits of the NES, and gamer will enjoy this throwback classic. 5/5

1st Hour Review:
In order to correctly evaluate this classic game, I had to put this gameplay into perspective. This game was created with limited technology for a low-powered system. I recognized the limitations on gameplay and the lack of options corresponding the times. With that, I played the game, and was impressed by the retro classic.
The background story for the game is given in a prologue. Hyrule, the setting of this story, is terrorized by villain, named Ganon, and his army. He has captured Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Power. However, Zelda prevents Ganon from obtaining the Triforce of Wisdom by taking apart and scattering the pieces all over Hyrule. Then Impa, her nursemaid, was sent to find a warrior strong enough to defeat Ganon. Impa finds herself in trouble, then Link comes along, and then the journey begins.
The gameplay has many great aspects to its credit. This game is a adventure game at its core, but is complemented with a combination of elements. The action in this game is consistent and simple, but entertaining none the less. Also, the puzzles in the game mentally stimulate the gamer with logic. In addition, the role playing quality allows the gamer to become the character in order to maintain and manage the characters survival. Due to these qualities, it's no wonder as to why this game is a classic.
