It's pretty good. Never beat it though. The NES cartige battery ran out on me before I could. Then I got a used version, and the same thing happened, only faster, because it was used. I mainly wandered around and killed enemies, trying to get enough rupees for the sheild, ring, and arrows. Later, I got the aniversary collection, and I got pretty far on that. The part where you can save the game without dieing makes it a lot easier to build up rupees. I think I got stuck on level seven or eight, or I can't find level nine.
