Original Zelda has been won! Now I'm up to 7 Zelda Games completed
I played it over the last four days... it took somewhere between 6 and 6 & a half hours over all to get through it.
Quick thoughts. Overworld at the first stretch of the game is crueler than most dungeons. Level 8 was a nightmare because Darknuts everywhere in rooms with fireball shooting statues and bubbles. The bosses were actually quite easy, especially compared to everything else in this game. There were mini-bosses much harder than the bosses.
I've essentially done all the Fallen timeline except Zelda 2 (LttP>OoS>OoA>LA>aLBW>LoZ>Z2AoL) (my only non Fallen timeline win is PHg.)
I'm considering picking up tWWHD.
