    I'm sure you agree, but Zelda is pretty special. It was the first stand alone game we ever got. The only game I have a picture of me playing and we played it like crazy. At the time it took my brother and I 2 solid weeks to complete. We played so much that to this day my mom can hum the melody. I love Super Mario Bros. but THIS was the game that made me love video games. I hope you enjoy the video.

    I will never forget that I learned about the second quest from a friend at junior high. I had just assumed that the sword in Link's hand was a kind of trophy, and had no idea how different the second quest was from the one I'd just beaten. After telling me, he also informed me he couldn't find the entrance to the 6th dungeon in the second quest. So I spent that night catching up to his progress, and on the phone with him helping him search for it for much of the night. I accidentally found that in the second quest, the recorder could reveal passages, and we found the entrance that night. We also managed to complete the seventh, and we discovered the eighth after starting to bomb every wall segment in the overworld. You can't buy experiences like this.

    Over 30 years playing this, and I had no idea you could use the whistle to cancel a bubble's curse. Time to replay it yet again.

    The Zelda title screen music is one of the finest pieces of music ever composed.
  • I am 62. Been playing Zelda off and on 30yrs. This is AWESOME! 😎 My 25yr old daughter is gonna love this!
  • @luisreyes1963
    It was the Legend Of Zelda that began my lifelong fandom of RPGs. Truly, one of my favorite Nintendo game series. 🏰
  • @Ylion2tamerJ
    I'm a massive Zelda fan....I thought that there wasnt anything left for me to discover. The Deep Purple thing just blew me away. Instant subscribe!

    I can’t believe how much I learned about a game I thought I knew everything about. Excellent video 👍🏻
  • Interesting. Learning something new about a game I've played a thousand times is cool. Thanks.
  • My first time playing this at the age of 7 I put my name as Zelda. I beat it. Still proud of myself. Didn't even know about the second quest. My second playthrough was quite a surprise.

    22:00 This is almost right. One detail though, the Roocorder glitch (named after its discoverer, rooslugs) happens not because Link is moved in both directions per se, but because after the whirlwind starts taking Link to the right, the raft reorients him so he's facing up. Then, it is true that he moves diagonally up-right, but the key thing is that he reaches the edge of the screen facing up. Link's facing direction is what determines the scrolling direction. The way the recorder does the teleportation is that it normally triggers a screen scroll to the right, so in order to reach the correct destination, it also sets Link's position to be one screen left of the destination. Because the screen now scrolls up instead of right, the result is that Link ends up one screen up and to the left of the intended destination.

    Honestly I rolled my eyes a bit at the notion of hearing new information regarding Zelda. Also honestly I admit when I’m wrong and I was wrong.. Outstanding video!!!!!

    damn 35 years after... "you can actually save the game without dying"
  • @joonge00
    I literally got goosebumps at 6:40 when the zelda theme kicked in. I've been binge watching these declassified videos and loving every minute of them. Can't imagine how much time and effort go in to these. Thank you for this nostalgia trip.
  • @hungrygoriya
    I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I watched this. This is an excellent video on one of my favourite games, and it's always great to learn something new. Thank you!
  • @EsThirt33n
    Oddly yesterday I searched and rewatched the NES Super Mario Bros declassified, and then a notification for The Legend of Zelda in the morning! Great way to start the day!
  • @adamh9271
    I can’t get enough Legend of Zelda videos and you do them the best!
  • @TheBreadPirate
    Holy cow, the amount of research you put into this is astronomical. I had a blast watching this, thank you NESComplex!!
  • @PixelGameSquad
    I refuse to watch this without being in my PJs and eating a bowl of cereal 🥣 ❤️ I'll be back later tonight for this 💯
  • @GameTacoFTW
    Really great trivia in this video. Didn't know the bit about Deep Purple, which is cool!
