You're not a Zelda fan if you haven't played this at least once!!
The story isn't different from any other LoZ game but it's still original because, well, its the first time its used! The gameplay is really interesting and offers a nice set of dungeons with unique monsters and secrets. The items aren't too varied, but then again, its the first time they're seen!!
The graphics are rather disappointing, even though this is a NES game. Still, the overworld is still quite large and you can get lost. The music is pretty nice, I mean, its THE music (for the first time!).
In general, it was a nice game to play at least once if you're a Zelda fan and I recommend adding it to a retro game collection.
