![]() When I first booted it up all those years ago (having played little beyond the first Mario), I was thrown into a clearing with a door at the top, and knew nothing about how the game would proceed from there. It's hard for players today to fundamentally bracket what they know about the genre or franchise enough to see what this game offered. Of course there are paths that can only be accessed through item usage, but, by and large, Hyrule is your oyster. The Legend of Zelda was an open world adventure before that term had any meaning. What you do after the game starts, though, is entirely up to you. Previous games - notably Atari's Adventure - attempted to unfurl vast landscapes before our eyes, but it's The Legend of Zelda that most classic gamers remember most fondly, and that's for good reason: the game is, and always was, a masterpiece.įrom the impressive spritework to the marvellously evocative music, it's clear from the moment the game starts that you're in for a treat. It was a deliberately disorienting experience, and it's one that's still easy to appreciate today. Whereas that game expanded and solidified the left-to-right nature of platformers for generations to come, The Legend of Zelda opened sprawling worlds before us, and allowed us to go wherever we pleased.
