How can I play the original Zelda on the NES with updated graphics?

Hi,

I've never played The Legend of Zelda on the NES before, but as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past is one of my favourite games of all time, I would really like to give it a go.

I was wondering if it was possible to play a version of the original NES game with updated graphics (preferably with SNES style graphics)?

I did a Google search which bought me to ZeldaClassic.com, but it seems as though the one's with the updated graphics seem to change around the gameplay too.

I would really like to play the original Zelda 1 with updated graphics.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think somewhere down the line you got a little confused. This is a program people use to make their own graphics and maps for a clone of Zelda 1. You're probably looking for BS Zelda or something.

I still perfer the original graphics, myself. I'm a sucker for 8 bit stuff. My favorite Zelda game is still A Link To The Past, so you're not alone there.
