I just beat Legend of Zelda. Yes, the original. Yes, for the first time. I'm 20 years late, but it's something I've been meaning to do. I did resort to using a walk-through a couple of times. This Google Maps based view was also helpful, but a bit spoilerful.
Overall, I quite liked it. A surprising amount of depth to the world design, for something that could fit on an NES cartridge. It must have been a very frustrating game before emulators and 'save state', though.

W00t!
Good thing for the mushroom dudes that Mario didn't have Link's sword when he got to the end of each world, huh?
Try the second quest. It's not quite the same, and is challenging and different enough to let you enjoy the game again even moreso.
This post made me smile, as I had long ago modified my LJ to say "Hero of Legend of Zelda" instead of "Link" on the bottom of each post, making this particular post extremely appropriate.
