Time to post in this thread. The last time I played this game, I got to level 6 and stopped. I was at a friend's house drinking beer, and decided to play. It took me about an hour, and everyone was impressed by my knowledge of really old games. I sucked at the game forever, until I tried the swordless quest. That's something that really teaches you how the enemies work, what items to use, and how to conserve items. Beyond that, I'm fully aware of get-rich-quick schemes, and how to not die quickly. Also, I have the DVD of the cartoon ;)

HORSE the Band has a song called Pol's Voice from their album R. Borlax. as you can guess the song is about Pol's Voice (the bunny dudes in the dungeons). they've got another song called The Immence Defication of the Buntaluffigus which has the dungeon theme in it. good songs, check them out. i can email them if anyone needs it, just let me know.

I liked the fact that the shield was always equipped. Everyone else think it was really nifty that you could block shots at will? Too bad it can't block those #$@!ing energy beams.
There's no such thing as Wizzrobes, there's no such thing as Wizzrobes, there's no such thing as Wizzrobes, there's.... ARGH! Yeah, the energy beams are pretty much the main reason why I put them up in "Most Annoying Enemies." Probably considering that the energy beams are what they kill you with.
If you think you're right, you're probably wrong. If you think you're wrong, you're being negative. My thoughts are definitive; the universe is frequently wrong.

Fantastic Game! Like a lot of you, I was awed by the gold cartridge. My first Zelda memory is definitely that crazy commercial that they came out with. It had that guy that shouts “P-P-P-Peahats! Leeeevers! etc.” In those days, the way I picked out a game was simply by looking at the box at the store. Video game commercials were rare, and I didn’t have any game magazines. This commercial definitely caught my interest, even though it didn’t have any useful content telling me what the game was about. In fact, from the weird guy in the commercial, I honestly thought it was 4 individual games that were included and those games were called Octoroks, Tektites, Leevers, and Peahats. With those 4 sections on the box (the key, the heart, etc), this only supported my 4 games theory. Too funny.
The game itself was such a fun time. Exploring new areas freely, conquering a new dungeon, etc. The labyrinth music actually seemed creepy back in the day. I actually hand-drew the overworld once, one game screen at a time.
