I feel like I'm in easy mode since I finished the first Zelda relatively recently. I don't remember if "BB" was the default name or if I just randomly pressed a couple of letter.

    Did you play 2, or skip to this one?
    LttP is definitely easier than the first two games.

    I skipped 2 but I want to play it in the future.

    I am one of the bizarre minority that really likes 2 (not more than LttP et al) and I’d say it’s totally worth it. It does suffer from typical NES terrible translation issues leading to a few incredibly obtuse puzzles. It nevertheless just feels like an amazing adventure, which is my favorite Zelda quality. Plus the music is also great in 2.

    There's a beautiful hack for it that makes it more like a regular game. Changes the xp system, fixes a lot of Grammer and bugs, and has widescreen.

    Obviously you're on a crt. But its a good middle ground hack to look into sometime. That games tough.

    Not a hack, a pc remake, hence the ability to do widescreen. The NES doesn’t have the physical capability for that.

    But it is good. Really good. It also has new content that’s genuinely fun, too.

    I only wish it fixed the enemy shield AI so that it wasn’t perfect all the time… granted, there are still ways to win against it, I just wish that jump attacking wasn’t effectively the ONLY way to do it. Imagine if you could bait them to commit to one location while you stabbed the other. Alas.
