this video made me want to play legend of zelda again

edit: if you decide to play again here are the notes from the last time I tried to play it and stopped out of frustration:

select and start are only buttons that work on menus
enemies are a lot harder, game is a lot more about just going around and surviving the brutal enemies.
full hearts mean you can shoot your sword
but as soon as you get a heart container it gets difficult, because you always restart with only three hearts.
the game just lets you go into dungeons you cannot defeat.
the game just makes you explore, and requires a great deal of boredom.

using arrows uses rupees. I forgot.
octorocks/deku scrubs?

Why the 1986 Legend of Zelda Map is Actually a NIGHTMARE!

i might try and find a modest “redux” romhack for bug fixes and QOL stuff

> The amount of hearts you last had if the game was saved manually is now saved. So when you load, you start with the same amount of life the user had when the save was done. If the number of hearts when the game was saved was 3, or lower than 3, the game will start Link with 3 hearts instead (like in subsequent Zeldas)

yeah for this one alone i think i am getting it. it’s one thing to simulate the anxiety of being lost in a dangerous place. It’s another to just randomly penalise having a life outside of the game
