The Legend of Zelda

"The Legend Recreated"

Welcome to my review for the game The Legend of Zelda originally on the NES but recreated on the Nintendo Wii. This game is about a young hero named Link who goes on a adventure in a puzzle land called Hyrule. He must find non obvious secrets and beat levels that provide lots of challenge. You must beat the dungeon bosses to collect a piece of the Triforce and then go beat the Evil King Ganon who has captured the princess of Hyrule, Zelda. The 2D challenge of this game is the best game of the Zelda's that is 2D because it provided lots of fun and hard secrets to find that usually take time to find. But don't think the dungeons are that easy because most of them have very hard enemies to kill or there are wall masters and if they do grab you... you go all the way to the start of the dungeon and I am sure you don't want that. The bosses in each temple also provide a big challenge because you must either attack them in a weak spot or throw something at them and quickly run to them then slash them with your sword to defeat them.

The graphics in this game are very simple and well drawn. They have very good colour use and the blurry parts are limited. This game was a perfect example for a great game on the Nes and even better to be recreated on the Wii. The enemies are amazingly drawn and stand out on occasions that have dark rooms. The graphics for Link and the characters are cool because they exactly look like how they were meant to be drawn and have clothes that fit them perfectly. The graphics for Hyrule are just amazing because it stands out, not much blurry and the best colour use for the Nes Zelda's. Nintendo made a very good decision to put the original Zelda on the Wii because it will rarely be in retail stores and you just go purchase Wii points and buy this game to enjoy the great graphics.

The game play is very fun and contains a lot of entertainment to be played and it should keep you playing for a very long period of time. The puzzles in the dungeons are awesome because there are rooms which there will have a enemy holding a key and you must destroy it or destroy all of the enemies in the room to obtain an item for open a closed door. The addictive game play has done mission accomplished and the land of Hyrule is a hard place to cross with the un expecting enemies and there are some rooms which require to go certain ways to reach the end or if you go the same way, you will keep going and going for ever unless you go back. Shigeru Miyamoto has done a very good job to start off the Zelda franchise and he did it in style. To be recreated on the Wii is one of the best things Nintendo has done for us other than creating the awesome Wii.

Rent or Buy:
I defiantly recommend to go to your retailer and purchase the required Wii points to go and buy this fabulous game that will keep you playing until you clock it.

Overall the legend of Zelda is a fantastic game that will keep you playing on the edge of your seat with its thrills and the un expecting enemies that pop up or even the dungeons will keep you looking for a key that is hidden behind a non obvious wall or a enemy has it and you must defeat it to retrieve the key. This game was a major success and it deserves all the credit we can give it and Nintendo for making this game and recreating it on the Wii.
