Is it still worth playing?
Nintendo's 1991 top down Zelda for the Super NES, a distant prequel to the first two games, in which Link sets out to save Hyrule and defeat Ganon. The world comes in two versions, the Light World and the Dark World, a mirrored Hyrule that effectively doubles the size of the game. Dungeons are often on several levels, and each holds a large chest with equipment you need to finish the game. Items such as the bow, boomerang, hookshot and fire rod open other areas of the map and are usually needed to beat a dungeon's boss. Four Heart Pieces make a Heart Container. Played now, each item you win opens parts of the map you have already seen, and the second world reuses the first to give you more of it.
