/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't understand this game. When you start it up, it gives you absolutely no indication of where to go. I understand that part of the appeal is being dropped into this world, and having to discover things on your own. But the game just seems so cryptic and hard to figure out that it's not fun. It's the kind of game that leaves you wandering around for hours wondering what to do.

How did people play through this, when it came out? I just don't understand game design choices like this. Sure, the game gives you some hints, but only for a few parts of the game.

Experiences with Zelda 1? When you first started it up, what did you do?
