YouTuber SugaryNoe recreated the NES game’s iconic opening and archetypal dungeon successful VR and posted a walkthrough showing the instauration disconnected (thanks, Nintendo Life).

After the opening plays retired implicit a static screen, you find yourself lasting successful beforehand of the cave wherever the famously adjuvant aged antheral warns you against wandering the wilderness alone.
