When you first begin your game you will have to pick out a name for your guy I suggest Link being that, that is his real name not Zelda, like you might think, although you can pick anything you want.
After picking a suitable name you will move into an excellent intro using full Snes technology. Following the intro you will end up sleeping in your house, Zelda will then begin talking telepathecally and your uncle will answer the call by grabbing his sword and shield and he will tell you to stay home. However you are not given this choice so open the chest with A to find the lantern.
To get to the castle head south onto the dirt path then follow the path east, then north, and finally, west until you come upon the stone bridge with high stone walls next to it which is Hyrule Castle. When you see the guard at the gate head east staying close the the outter Castle walls, and then north until you reach a stone circle with a bush in the middle press R to lift and throw the bush, then jump in the hole beneath.
