Story:The Legend of Zelda is the first title in the Zelda series, it has marked the history of video games particularly for it's game mechanics and universe. The player controls Link and must make his way through the forests, graveyards, plains and deserts of the Otherworld to find the secret entrances to the eight dungeons and try to restore the broken Triforce. Among the game's mechanics, it was the first time we saw a continuous world that could be freely explored, power-ups that permanently enhanced the main character's abilities and a battery save feature that allowed players to keep their progress instead of having to start over. The gameplay balanced action sequences with discovery, secrets and exploration.Show more

Give this epic the gog preservation treatment and bring the greatest Zelda game, and possibly the greatest game of all time, to gog in its original glory! No updates or enhancements, please!
My experience with The Legend of Zelda is an instant classic. This game is meant to be unforgiving and hard. I have (at one point) remember playing the Second Quest, and beating it. Taking a NO-DEATH RUN requires exact precision on how the enemies appear. I remember how the dungeons ACTUALLY REQUIRED for you to experiment and use your brain with. I want this game preserved on GOG because I want the new generation to be trained on the ORIGINAL DARK SOULS of Zelda. The Legend of Zelda DOES have multiple NPCs giving you hints throughout the game. Actual secrets are hidden within this game, so make sure to actually try everything before you know what's going to appear on the screen.

Breath of Fire
Breath of FireRecognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time. Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.
