Since the Zelda 40th anniversary stream is happening... This is the first (and only?) American review of the original Legend of Zelda, from the August 1987 issue of Computer Entertainer. The reviewer praised its "mythic aura" and "fairy-tale quality." Read the full issue: https://ow.ly/tg3s50ZJMSY

I suspected he had, but I can confirm that Ed Semrad also reviewed it for his column in the Milwaukee Journal August 1, 1987! He also followed it up the next week with some hints.
