there are other games on the site that are endless yet have TASes with definite endings (e.g. NES Track and Field) and others that seem very repetitive when watched (NES Karate Kid), you sure?
Is this an attempt of use the fallacy "because you made mistake A, you should also make mistake B"?
Those published movies are mistakes? They shouldn't be there? :(

I remember first watching someone play this on an emulator at school! (well, just before school) I was surprised at how short it was. Cute and short, that's this game.

Here's my logic: The Legend Of Zelda 1: The Hyrule Fantasy was the first game, so it introduced everything, obviously. Or at least, I'm pretty sure it did. Maybe I should replay it just to make surely sure.

...a change in clothes from one primary garb to the traditional green tunic?
Silly billy, it's always been a green tunic, you just can't see that much detail in the old games.

Hey remember? The owl turned into an old man, who started hiding out in caves, so that helpful owl's been there all along.

...a Link/Zelda romantic backstory?
Um, they quest for each other, so they love each other, don't they? Gee, maybe all the romance was in the manual that I don't have anymore.
theenglishman wrote:
...references to a previous game in the series?
Zelda 1's story refers to Zelda, Link, Prince Darkness Gannon, and Triforce With, who were all characters in the previous game Zelda 0: This Time, It's Not Zelda -1.

...cutscenes and quasi-cutscenes?
They were pretty quasi, but they were cutscenes all right! Like remember that scene where Link stood around for 10 seconds holding the triangle? Or when that waterfall got dark? Totally, man.

...distinctly say that the hero was named Link?
Go find the Triforce Link to save her Link! Link Link Link Mister Link Link Link!

...dramatic irony?
Isn't it ironic, don't you think, that Zelda scattered the 8 Triforces when she could have just swallowed them to make it easier

First Quest and Second Quest!

You fish for a fairy and the fairy gives you hearts! Also you fish for a dungeon and a heart piece on your raft and ladder, you can fish for anything with anything

That's a tough one. But I bet you don't get to be a Prince Darkness by pigging out all the time!

Duh! The stopclock!

Duh! There are EIGHT Triforces!

Kirbymuncher already covered this one.

I remember you go on a quest to buy somethin' will ya and leave your life or money! I think that counts as trading!

Master using it and you can have this!

...voice acting?
Dude, you know that gulp noise Link makes every time he gets hurt? That's got to be someone's voice recorded. Someone took their time out of their day to record their voice for you, so you'd better be thankful.

No no do the Hallelujah Chorus!!!
C^ C> C<C> C^ C> C<C>
I always sing hallelujah whenever the scarecrow shows up to save me from a jam. "But why d'ya sing hallelujah if it means nothin' to ya?"

Well there's nothing special about 999,950 now, it's just the millions digit is hidden for a while. So maybe it should be highest score without dying. Yeah!

Oh, but that's one of those games where you really have to seek out the story for it to mean anything. Do we need to add in sections where the player wanders around talking to just the right characters so you know what the point of each level is?

Maybe you should have to promise that you went over the whole game and didn't find a single other improvement anywhere, even though you tried really hard. Yeah.
