Adventure of Link Going to Play Through It for My First Time...Suggestions?

[Hero_in_Green]

Okay guys, I've conquered every Nintendo licensed Zelda game EXCEPT for Adventure of Link which I plan on buying today via the virtual console. Anyone have ANY suggestions or strategies before I start this game because i know that it's one of the most challenging games ever created for the NES....It'd be a great help, thanks!

Advice? Level grind. Practice. Get used to the battle sequences. Collect all the Heart Containers and Magic Jars (which I believe you have to collect, anyway. The Magic Jars.). Yeah, that's about it. Just prepare for the hardest game of all time (besides Ninja Gaiden).

Use Mases's video guide. That'll really help.

Another tip I can give is that there is cave area where you can get Exp. Points relatively fast.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/938073-zelda-ii-the-adventure-of-link/faqs/12692 Go to the bottom of the screen for a maze-like map.

From A go to Q then when you get F go to I when you get outside that cave go to G when you get outside that cave go to C then to B then go to Q and repeat.

I usually go all the way through DM over and over again to level grind (including the hole @ Spectacle Rock).

Level up early, wait to beat the first boss until you have leveled up significantly and there are a lot of points needed to reach the next level, because each boss fills you entirely to the next level so save that for when you really need it. And don't get disheartened if something is challenging, just keep trying and when you beat it you'll have a great feeling of accomplishment C= Also: have fun! And enjoy the music.

Do stuff!

Oh. That's not what you meant. Well not much I can give you myself seeing as I have yet to beat it. I can say this:

I am Error

Also don't forget to get 'Jump' like I did >.>

The written guide here at ZD helps A LOT (that's why i partially credit my beating the games to ZD)

bring all of your skill, patience, determination, perserverence, and luck, and you JUST might pull it off.

Thanks guys! I've beaten the first dungeon without many problems....Im still getting used to how short range Link's sword is and also am having a lot of problems with Iron Knuckles because of the way the fight. But it's cool to see how innovative the combat is in this game, even for NES game. I am having fun with it and the good thing is that everything isn't THAT far away from the starting point I guess.
