To pick up where I left off in my last entry about downloading Mario and Zelda off the Virtual Console, I have now beaten the first Legend of Zelda (with a little help from a friend who has beaten it before). I was surprised how challenging it was. Sure when you have full health you can take out most enemies without too much trouble, but having to know where to drop bombs and what bushes to burn was crazy. I was a little disappointed with the final battle too.
All in all it was a fun game though. It sparked my interest and I have now downloaded The Ocarina of Time. I have a little experience with this Zelda, having played it on a friends 64 on and off for a few months back when it was new. I am excited to play it having beaten both the first and newest Zelda, especially since Twilight Princess seemed to me to be a close sequel to Ocarina of Time.

So now with 0 points on my Virtual Console account, half my march break gone and a disappointed brother (who wanted me to download Toe Jam and Earl), I have a new grand adventure to undertake.

With any luck I will be well on my way by the next episode.
See you then,

Ben
