Come to think of it, that's got nothing on that bit in the last level where you're supposed to shoot a statue for no particular reason whatsoever.

How about Athena? Not the worst, but not good.
zelda indeed had the same problem, using the flute to find level 7 made almost zero sense "There are secrets where faries do not live" was the only hint. But by the time Nintendo Power was being published, most of the main secrets were out, and issue #1 of NP had a feature on the second quest that gave away most of the hints.

i dont know, in the summer of 87, i only knew a few people with an NES, and i didnt know anyone that had a copy of LOZ. I got my NES in the summer of 88 and LOZ for xmas 88. the first nintendo power came out in october of that year and had a comprehensive guide to the second quest, so i already knew that the whistle could open caves.
from reading older magazines and publications, the level 7 entrance (and the level 7 triforce piece) scratched a lot of heads.
i dont know if i wouldve been able to figure out LOZ without help. i was used to straight forward gaming. the only other adventure game i had played was AD&D cloudy mountain on the intellivision. and while that was a pretty cool adventure for its time, it had zero puzzle solving.
Another great review.

Wow, that was good. Brilliant, even. I should have watched it earlier.

He posted this a couple days back:
"
Recently, I put up an NES wish list and I got many donations sent in. Now my NES collection is almost complete. It’s come a long way in a few years, and you should see it reflected in future AVGN videos. One way or another, those games will go to good use."
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
