Players are able to control the hero "Link" to move in four directions and attack enemies or pick up items by using the controller. Players can use items by go to the menu mode and choose inventory to see the collection of items. Some items that players purchase from the store or pick up from the dungeon such as potions or weapon can be sell back to the store unless it is a key item. Players can interact with NPC in the game to ask for the information, clues, or quests by stay near to that NPC and press the interact button.

Concept: 

The atmosphere of the game represent the feeling of the adventure in the fantasy world. Players have to walk through many places such as wood and cave. On the way, they will find many houses and Npcs which they can interact with like the experience in the reality that we have to communicate to each other for the information.

The goal of this game is to save the princess and the world from the guy who seeks the power of domination. Players need to solve the problem in each given task by searching for the information and items in different places. In the end, players have to fight the last boss by attack him until he die.

Challenge:

The challenge in this game is there are many tasks that we have to solve by searching in different places to get the information or key items and fight different enemies. Sometimes players might get lost because they don't know what to do or they can't find the item that is required.

Conclusion: 

The Legend of Zelda has a great story line that attracted so many gamers and become a real legend as its name. In my opinion, the over all view in the game is perfect includes the story, graphic and music etc. Although in 80's the quality of graphic is still not improve but it shows the feeling of the classic game that reminds many people of their old happy time.
