I may talk a big Zelda game but I've never beaten the first one. This is the farthest I've gotten. Don't have a memory card for my gamecube so I just gotta keep it going til I beat it. It's pretty damn hard. You're just dropped in this infinite rectangle with no talking trees or giant owls to guide you along the way, pretty much gotta figure it out on your own. You may come across some dudes who'll give you some esoteric and ambiguous message ie "meet the old man at the grave" . Well alright man. The map is outrageous and you'll find yourself going in circles pretty easily. Never could make much out of the storyline, and there's no order that things really need to be dine. I still haven't found the second dungeon even though the first and the third through fifth. But it's a challenge and it's keeping me entertained and that's what its all about. My gamecube is just on at my house right now and I'd be pretty disappointed if it got turned off.
