I also played the original Zelda via emulation, but the physical game came with a map that makes the game much more feasible to get through on your own. Once I had that, I was golden.
I was wondering if the original came with a map! The in-game grid thing is comically unhelpful.
Yup. I think this is it, but you might find better scans elsewhere. It doesn’t tell you everything, but it shows you most of the map and labels the first handful of dungeons. Even knowing where the first dungeon is is such a huge help, because then you get a new checkpoint when you die, and once you beat the dungeon, you get an extra heart container.
This is really fascinating, I think it contextualises so much of how the game was meant to be played. (I’m being lazy and using the Zelda Dungeon walkthrough). It’s so interesting to me when these early games kind of offload crucial information into the manual - like with some of those items, you might never know they even exist in the game without it!
