I consider this to be the first true Zelda game. The first two merely introduced the main character and the main formula that Zelda would follow. This game introduced what I believe to be the more advanced formula of Zelda. It introduced the master sword, which we can all just assume that Zelda would be incredibly lacking without it. On an unrelated note, the towns hae more content than they do in Zelda 2, and the magic meter has fewer uses. This is debate ably the best Zelda game, and definitely in the top 5, this game is one of my personal favorites, and I hope it will be yours.

Graphics: This game looks a lot better than some of the other titles for the SNES. Link is way better defined than he is than the other games, though you cant really blame Nintendo, seeing as the first two games were on a previous console.  The landscapes look better than they do in any SNES game, and the dungeons look great. The enemies don't animate too well, they are just pushed back when you hit them. Link probably animates the best in the game. And other objects seem to do that well enough.

Sound: The music in the game, is sort of lacking. The kakariko village theme is really just annoying to me, and the Main theme of Zelda is usually played whenever you aren't in kakariko village. Although the dark world has a very pleasing theme. There are some other pleasing songs, but I named the ones you will hear the most.

Addictiveness: I have played and beaten this game 3 times. The way it keeps you hooked is something I have seen in very few games, and I cant quite explain it. This game keeps you hooked.

Story: This game starts out with Zelda telepathically telling you that you must help her. After you do, you set out of a quest to obtain three pendants that will allow him to pull the mythical master sword, a sword that was forged to repel evil. Link is then sent to the dark world, once called the golden world. Also he can use a magical mirror to teleport between the dark world and the real world. Ganondorf has turned the golden world into a dark and dangerous place. Link then collects crystal throughout the dark world.

Depth: there is far more to do in this game than in the first two games. There are tons of heart pieces, 8 dungeons, and a few sidequests. This game takes a very long time to complete, and you will have tons of fun doing it.

Difficulty: The enemies aren't that hard to defeat. Though, I rated the difficulty so high because even though the first three dungeons aren't hard, the dungeons of the dark world are incredibly difficult. Those dungeons will throw and immense amount of challenge your way and I ended up having to abuse a walkthrough for a few of the dungeons. The enemies of the normal world aren't very difficult, but the enemies of the dark world give about two hearts per hit, and have quite a bit of health.

Overall, its 11:00 o clock and I'm tired. Please play the game
See ya

Another good review. This is vrey well written, neatly categorized, and just nice. I'm currently trying to play through all of the Zelda games, and I can't wait to get to this one (in Zelda 2. I missed the first ten or so years).

Nice work. Keep the reviews coming.

ender44:

I recently have been playing the original Zelda 1 on the NES, so I feel like sticking up for it as a true Zelda entry.  

By "advanced formula" I assume you are speaking primarily about the two parallel universes mechanic, which was very creative and had interesting gameplay implications, but on the other hand it was mostly a way of expanding the geography of the game without actually doubling the space (mostly a new color palette) and did not in the final analysis alter the core formula of proceeding from dungeon to dungeon defeating baddies and collecting magical loot necessary to beat the game.  

Zelda 3 did introduce the "master" sword and tied it closer to the plot, however, the "magical" sword existed in Zelda 1 and in the end was almost as necessary (defeating all those wizrobes with only the second-level sword would have been annoyingly, nigh unfairly, difficult).  

Kakariko village had a lot more depth socializing-style than any of the individual towns in Zelda 2, but if you add together all the zaniness (e.g. "I am Error") in all the different towns in Zelda 2 and all the different wise-men dispensing new skills and things, Zelda 2's towns offer a comparable level of depth.  

Zelda 3 is an amazing leap forward for the series but it would be wrong to sell short the full extent that the groundwork for a great series was already laid excellently with the previous 2 NES titles.  Don't overlook those either readers

Best review on this forum I have read so far! I believe the first Zelda was a great game but the second was not. This Zelda I believe is the best one followed by Oceania of time then Twilight Princess. The only Zeldas I have not played are Windwaker and Skyward Sword.
