    Gotta look through this later and see if there’s a low review for Zelda where the reviewer is straight up confused about where to actually go in the game.

    Here is a link directly to the archive on Video Game History Foundation’s website! I support their work and look forward to getting a new vintage magazine (bagged and boarded!) every month.
