It has Started: Legend Of Zelda
The challenge has begun. One reason I started this blog is to chronicle a life goal for me. One of my life goals is to pass Legend of Zelda. This is the original one that came out in 1986. This game was originally bought for me in 1986 and life was good, albeit I never passed the game. There is a hole in my soul that can only be filled with passing this game.
With this in mind I found an emulator for my desktop. I started playing it and found it fun. I also found that there is huge support and walkthroughs for the game. The maps, one originally came with the game, were a huge help, although I felt like it was cheating with the walkthroughs. Playing the game on the computer was good, but it was not real. I needed more. When I fought the dragon with the three heads using the arrow keys on my keyboard was not enough. I was limited. So this morning I have started to look for NES systems, The Legend of Zelda and the Nes Advantage (the joystick controller, I had one like it when I was younger)
After a recent sell of an item on Ebay for much more than I expected, I have a bit of cash to throw towards this. My goal for this whole endeavor is to spend less then $40 on the NES system, the game and the controller. I am currently watching some of the above mentioned items on Ebay, but have not bid on anything yet.
Yes I am choosing to spend money on a game instead of making another batch of beer, but that is what happens with life goals.
