I have downloaded this game on the VirtualConsole, after having it in ROM format for many years.  As the Wii does not support GameGenie cheats, I mainly play this one on my GP2X using the unlimited lives cheat.  Once I become really good while using this cheat, I will go and defeat the game on my Wii.

I am becoming better and better at this game, and need to level up less and less to get further.  I normally would keep the first temple unbeaten just to use a place to level grind.  The only Zelda game that you actually have to do any level grinding.
