Legitimate question. Is the original legend of Zelda game worth playing now? My first Zelda was a link to the past. And I love it to death play through it about once a year. But I feel like going back to the original would just be a less good version of that. This doesn’t apply between a link to the past and the 3D games because it’s a completely different kind of game whereas from what I’ve seen the original Zelda looks like a less amazing model of ALTTP. Obviously it gets an enormous amount of respect and credit for doing it first and starting it all, but does that make it worth actually playing?

I don’t feel this applies to the 3D games because yes the graphics advanced but as a whole things had developed to a point by ocarina of time that it doesn’t feel primitive compared to the later games it just doesn’t have as good of graphics. Although I’m a strong advocate of a good texture pack.
