/vr/ - Retro Games

So I have finally started playing Zelda 1 blind with no knowledge of the game using only my wits and a PDF of the manual because I wanted to try and grasp what playing the game originally would have been like. I know part of the original design idea of the game was people talking and sharing secrets they had found with each other so rather than look up a guide on what to do to progress I figured I would make a thread asking for hints.

Also to make this thread not useless and help prevent it turning into a shitty Game FAQ I guess also its a Zelda 1 appreciation thread.
