Zelda 1 without a guide is a cryptic mess you will walk around in for five minutes and then turn the game off frustrated not knowing what to do. Now on the other hand Zelda 1 WITH a guide is like a giant treasure hunt and you're exploring a vast world with fun secrets and dungeons to be found everywhere.
This game is truly great when you kinda have an idea of what you're doing, but not really. Trying to find your way to the next dungeon in the maze like world only kinda knowing where it is and then actually playing through the dungeon barely surviving out the other end is where this games true fun is at.
The game is heavily outdated though, only really ever playing three songs on loop, difficulty balancing being off, having to grind for rupees etc.
I would never recommend anyone touch this game without a guide but with a guide it is a really fun way to spend an afternoon with a cup of coffee.
