Original Nintendo Zelda On Your BlackBerry! - Well Sort Of…
I will preface this post with a big warning and a complete disclaimer that if you device decides to self implode I take no responsibility. This game is not for the faint of heart. In short if don’t enjoy making software work than just ignore this post.
I have just found a wonderful port of the much loved Zelda Nintendo NES game for J2ME devices. The screenshots you see here are from my BlackBerry 8800 running the game. The good guys at Zelda Mobile are up to Beta 3 of our favorite sword toting green man. The d0wnload for the game comes in at almost 500K but is playable if you are willing to fiddle around with the controls. Keep in mind this software is not designed specifically for your BlackBerry so it may take a bit of work.
If you still think you are willing to deal with getting this game working the download link is after the jump.
You have to install the game at this link using your Internet Browser. The other browsers will give you an error of entity to large:

You can then run the game and click in your trackball. You can then hit the menu button and get the settings page where you can set the controls to work on your BlackBerry. This takes quite a bit of trial and error but did work for me in the end. Sadly you cannot use the trackball to control =(

Link size is only about 400 bytes.

You are correct Ron. They recently brought it down from 500 to 400 and that was still stuck in my head. I can see in the screenshot I took above that I kind of glossed over the fact that the size has been reduced
