In the first game you don't restart in dungeons when you die there? I thought you did that in all the Zelda games... huh. You do in all the ones since Zelda 3 anyway.
And the more freedom the save system the game gives you the better the game is and the less frusterating it gets. All of those are good things.
I was in the car for about 20 hours in since Friday... made me wish I had a recent GB game (since my newest one is two years old...). I coped by reading some books (about 600 pages total at least...) and starting a new game of Final Fantasy Adventure.
Now that game has a great save system! You can save at any time. Two slots. And when you save... it saves what screen you were on! Such a simple thing... letting you save at the screen you are on. Simple... but it makes the game so, so much less frusterating!
Yes, it can get irritating if you die and realize you haven't saved recently because the game never autosaves and when you die you go back to the main menu (and have to load your last savegame) but since you can save on any screen AT THAT SCREEN you have no excuse... :)
Now if only Zelda would do that!
