One of my absolute favorite games, the Legend of Zelda was released in North America for the NES in 1987. Even to this very day, this video game series is widely popular with fans both young and not so young.
Object of the game: Guide the hero Link through Hyrule equipped with his trusty sword and other collectible items as you search for pieces of the mighty Triforce of Wisdom. Once all 8 pieces of the Triforce are collected, Link must defeat the evil Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda.
This game is awesome! It has a vast world to explore, lots of weapons/items to collect and a variety of enemies to battle. For a game with simple gameplay, the Legend of Zelda provided much entertainment and challenge for NES fans worldwide.
