Blimey. It has been months since I last played this. Put it into my shiny new Game Boy Micro and had a play this morning.
Seems I’m still stuck on Sky Canyon. Pah.
Managed to get to the boss, but died. Had no lives left, so when I continued I had to do the whole of Sky Canyon again. After going through this cycle a few times (there are too many leaps-of-faith on Sky Canyon, which means UNAVOIDABLE DEADNESS) I bored of it and switched it off. Pff.
what is the zelda game you always play? the one with the japanese title. which system is this?
You mean Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy? It’s just the Japanese (Famicom) version of the original Zelda game.
I’ve been playing the Famicom Mini re-release for the GBA. It’s this one here:

And right tricky it is too, I bet. I’m playing the UK version, which is the same game but in english I think, and it is a damn sight tougher than the new Zelda games. I’ve had to look at GameFaqs and everything.
I’m convinced the Japanese version is even harder. I’m *sure* the Darknuts were not that frequent, nor took as many hits.
