Definately worth at least 4 stars - I'm a big fan of the zelda series and have played through almost all of them, excluding the NES ones. While I couldnt really stand playing the first zelda, this one has me totally hooked! The combat system is great! Hard at first but lots of fun once you get the hang of it. Just beating those knights and other tough enemies without getting a scratch, its so rewarding. This is a refreshing change from the other zelda games where there are hardly any fights that require skill.
This one also seems more polished and better thought out than the first one with its random layout and little oddities like having to bomb every single spot. All nostalgia aside, I would definately give this one 5 stars and the first one at most 3. The only thing I find bad is the fact that you always start at the beginning, which results in lots of unnecessary travelling.
