Regarded by some to be the best NES game of all time, The Legend of Zelda is a "legend" itself within the game world. This game was originally created by the game development team at Nintendo, and Link (the hero) is now second only to Mario as the classic Nintendo hero. This game is an action/adventure, and was challenging on many levels.

Uh oh, Link just got hit in the back by a big blue fireball that the monster in the water shot out!

Legend of Zelda Q. & A.

Q. Why is this game on your top ten list?
A. If you want to know why this game is on my top ten list, now I know you are a rookie. This game rocks, and is a classic! If you have a NES and have not played this game, go get it right now from Funcoland or something. Come on, it's only a couple bucks.

Q. How do I know where to go?
A. By playing the game. There is no special trick to finding all of the dungeons in the game, just listen to the tips you get from the old men, and make sure you try and explore every square on the map in the upper-left.

Q. I'm lost in the forest on the far left side of Hyrule, and I dont know what to do. Help me!
A. Try going left, up, left, down, left, up, left, down, etc. until you get through.
