I own OoT in 3 versions allready so I'm not terribly excited. I also have Kid Icarus for NES. Both are excellent games though so if you didn't get a chance to play them I can definitely recommend both.
Yes, I'm not BS'ing, that's how me and my dad beat games in the late 80'es and early 90'es. And this game in particular. Trial & Error. When you think about it, the game promotes trial and error - why else would there be an upgrade for the candle? (the red candle allows burning bushes faster than the blue one and has very few practical uses other than for burning bushes)
I was 8 years old when I got this one in 89. The internet didn't exist back then and there weren't much in terms of gaming magazines either and my friends were not much help in this department. So what else could we have done?
There was just this one ocation when we used outside help to beat a game and it was for Zelda 2. We could not find the second to last castle so we called Nintendo's support hotline and they gave us a hint. We still talk about that event as "the one time when the game beat us".
I have a feeling that this game is identical to Kirby's Avalanche (SNES), except with different graphics. Is this correct or are there other differences between these games?

Re: The Legend of Zelda
My copy did not come with any maps.
Shrapnel said: "you would have to bomb every section of wall in the game eventually to locate them!"
That's how we did it back then! I rememeber me and my dad working in shifts burning all the bushes and bombing every rock in the game.
