and Duck Hunt for hours a day every day during summer, it was great.
#LEGEND OF MELDA ON RECORDEE FULL#
My first experience with Zelda was when my school brought in a bus full of NESes ( more details here). That and being able to go back to the game now with my grownup perspective and Japanese knowledge is too intriguing to pass up 😛 The Legend of Zelda has been analyzed to death after all these years, so a lot of people might ask, “What’s the point of looking at the game now? It’s all been done before.” A big reason is that the game was a major part of my childhood. We’ll still take a peek at some of the interesting variations, though, so don’t worry! Personal History
Think of it as comparing what Japanese early-adopters experienced with what North American early-adopters experienced. Some of these ports are based on the FDS version, others are based on the cartridge versions.įor simplicity’s sake, I’m going to focus mainly on the original Famicom Disk System release and the original North American NES cartridge release. Later on, the game was rereleased a few more times and ported to a number of different Nintendo systems and services. This was essentially the NES version with Japanese text and a few alterations to make it a little closer to the Famicom Disk System version. In 1994, a cartridge version of the game was released in Japan.
Because the Famicom Disk System didn’t exist in North America, the game was altered slightly and released in cartridge form. In North America, the English-language version, called The Legend of Zelda, was released for the NES on August 22, 1987.
It cost 2,600 yen at the time, but more frugal players could download the game onto disks at special in-store kiosks for only 500 yen. The Japanese version, known as Zelda no Densetsu (ゼルダの伝説, “Legend of Zelda”), was released on Februas a launch title for the Famicom Disk System. Let’s start by taking a very quick look at the history of the game in Japan and North America.
