When Zelda 1 makes you kill your pets it's only half your fault

I've been playing through The Legend of Zelda, the first one, on the 3DS over the past few days, and it's got me thinking. Obviously this game is "too hard." Left on your own, in a void with no human contact, and only the ROM and no previous experience with it, I can't imagine the game is beatable. Or at least, not beatable without completely losing your mind.
I mean this is not my first time playing Zelda 1. But my first time was not as a child, in front of a flickering CRT. It was as an adult, with the full support network of the Internet available at every turn. Now I'm not really one who likes using guides to figure shit out. In fact I abhor it except for postgame content! But for this particular game you almost have to use a guide, unless you have three months of grueling unfun time to spare.
