Congratulations! I've yet to beat the game without save states + cheats myself, but any completion of that game is in fact a completion! It's too hard to say otherwise! xD
Congrats! Question, did you defeat Dark Link the true way, or did you kneel in the left corner? Also, question for anyone, what does it mean to use "save states"? Last night I defeated Thunderbird without taking a hit, which felt pretty darn good!

Save states are a function of emulators. If you're playing a video game on an emulator you can create a quick save at any time and continue from there whenever you want.
Congrats! The first time I beat it was a couple weeks after I bought it. It was my favorite game WAY back in the day and still holds a special place on my NES shelf.
Well, I haven't been playing it for 20 years straight. What I meant was that the first time I played it was 20 years ago, and I finally just now beat it.
Also, I did cop out and kneel in the corner for Dark Link, but that's after about 30 minutes of trying to fight him straight up. I don't know that I ever landed more than two hits on him each time I tried though.
