The gameplay is similar to the original ''The Legend of Zelda'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]: the world is viewed from a top-down camera angle, it is divided up into many different squares that can fit on the screen, and the main character can move up, down, left, and right across the screen. The player can interact with individuals within towns by gathering information and buying or selling items and equipment. A variety of enemies can be battled on a field screen to gain experience, [[Gold coin|GP]], and items. Within [[dungeon (games)|dungeon]] areas, a number of puzzles may be present and required to be solved in order for the player to advance. The player can also [[saved game|save]] at any point. A number of weapons can be found throughout the game to maneuver through obstacles such as cutting through trees and thorns.<ref name="Square-archive" />

The main character possesses several [[Attribute (role-playing games)|statistics]], including [[hit point]]s, power, and stamina, which can all increase upon gaining an experience level. [[Final Fantasy magic|Magic]] spells, which expend the character's MP, can be used to heal oneself or damage enemies. These spells can only be found in certain locations or obtained from other characters at specific plot intervals. In addition, the protagonist has a power gauge that affects his attack strength—the higher the gauge, the stronger his attack will be. The speed at which it fills is directly affected by the character's [[Will (philosophy)|will]] level.<ref name="guidecite"/> The gauge will slowly fill up over time, but once the main character attacks, the gauge is emptied. When the gauge is completely filled up and the main character attacks with a weapon, he will perform a special attack.<ref name="Square-archive" />

One additional [[non-player character]] may occasionally accompany the main character in the story and can perform different activities to aid the main character in his quest. The game introduced the ability to kill townspeople, something that many [[Japanese role-playing video game]]s of the time lacked.<ref name="Andrew1998"/>
