It’s the typical saving the kingdom and damsel theme Nintendo and the third parties usually gravitated to during the 80s. Link's quest will take him across Hyrule as he battles Ganon and his army (who seized the kingdom) while trying to save Princess Zelda.
The theme of the game follows Link, a warrior that goes on a quest in Hyrule to collect eight pieces of the Triforce of Courage. The graphics weren't the best on the NES compared to later games like Super Mario Bros 3-the gameplay would set many standards in both the RPG and Adventure genres with its puzzles and exploration. The NES game at the time presented a big world to explore that wasn't on this scale previously. The first entry might look outdated today but ever since then it has inspired many to either copy or take inspiration. To honor the coverage, we will review the first title in the series that spawned a legacy. On their lineup is the newest Zelda game as it will have playable booths at E3 this year. As you heard Nintendo won't reveal their next console code name NX at the event and will focus on their games for Wii U instead.
Welcome to a new edition of Retro Corner Reviews and it’s that time of the year again for E3.
