How to Play Classic NES Series: The Legend of Zelda
Quick start
Register a name, choose that file, then enter the cave immediately north of the starting point to receive the Wooden Sword. Explore the overworld, gather rupees and heart containers, and work toward Level 1; burnable bushes and bombable walls become important after you find the right items.
Controls
The Control Pad moves Link. A uses the sword; B uses the item selected on the subscreen; START opens the subscreen and pauses play. L+R opens the GBA system menu for Continue, Reset, save and Sleep Mode.
