It's legit bad game design that you have a 3/4 chance of completely fucking your game up if you don't get the sword.

>go anywhere
>get fucked by enemies
>maybe that cave i saw earlier has something
fucking retard OP

>>717196749 (OP)
Skill issue. People have beaten the game without going into the cave.

READ THE FUCKING MANUAL

I didn't realize taking another path locked me out of returning to a previous screen

>>717196749 (OP)
You come back here when you die. It's imminent destiny that you take the sword.

>>717196749 (OP)
They are going to be putting yellow paint in all video games because idiots like OP exist

>>717196749 (OP)
OP are you a former game journalist that got purged?

>>717196749 (OP)
nothings stopping you from going back if you pick the wrong path

>>717196749 (OP)
Anon, that was just NES era stuff.
Devs were throwing shit at a wall to see what worked.
Try playing the original Metroid. It's a complete cluster of "early NES game design" and why every points to Super Metroid as "THE Metroid game"

Durr, but how me supposed to know dat Zelda can go in caves, durr?

needs this

>get filtered by game because you're retarded

maybe a link to the past is more your speed

ALTTP is a harder game than Zelda 1 to me.

Also the manual for Zelda 1 directs you to more than half of the game anyways

>>717198461
That's Link's Awakening anon.

>>717197179
>game needs a guide to be played and understood
the epitome of shit game design

>>717196749 (OP)
>completely
no

>get born
>die shortly after

What the fuck? Nobody told me to breathe?

It's just good pickup and play arcade design, that's all OP. It's fine being a casual.

>>717199103
What's this? The filter is cool and it's using updated enemy sprites from LA.

>>717196749 (OP)
Keep in mind game developers at the time didn't assume you were a mouth breathing retard that needed handholding. Even if your intuition didn't lead to you viewing the cave as the safest option you would go back and enter when you encounter enemies you can't harm

Played this game recently. Beat it. Was annoying how many times the game fucked me with cryptic bullshit, Darknuts, and the mage guys, , but I had a fun time. And now I feel right in carrying my hate for Zelda II to the grave.

>>717196749 (OP)
Easily solved by getting the sword

Zelda 1 would be a lot better if you had to get 40 rupees to buy the initial sword

>>717198759
90% of games were trial and error if you didn't read the manual back then, what is fucked up though were the secrets, it's impossible to find almost anything in this game without buying the stupid nintendo power, and i'm sure that's what they wanted.

>>717204787
niggers can't read.

>>717197221
This. Because we don't brutally mock retards and make them feel bad for being retarded, game designers feel like they need to pander to retards since they're "part of the community".

We must bully retards. It's imperative.

>>717196749 (OP)
OP is another example as to why games are dumbed down to retardation levels.

I kinda want a remake of LoZ 1 that just makes the game look and run better (with a fully orchestrated soundtrack). Maybe add in an optional in-game hint system for retards. I'd buy it for $30.

>>717198461
Making bombable walls have a tell is good game design.

>>717198461
A giant fucking arrow is arguably more subtle than a cracked wall, at least assuming the camera locks the bottom half of the screen off

trying to find the burnable bushes with the candle that only lets you use 1 time per screen

These "pretend to be retarded while playing an old game to rage bait" threads are very tiresome

>>717205968
The cracked walls are pretty subtle themselves. Especially since the cracks are just black lines. I've seen observant people miss things in ALttP all the time.

>>717205239
why do subhumans defend this company again?

>>717196915
If we could figure out the infinite item glitch in both Wild Arms and FF7 without the internet way back when, zoomers should be able to figure out Zelda without watching a youtube guide.

>>717198759
screw you shenzhen io was a great game

>>717196749 (OP)
You are smart enough to know how to turn on the console
