The legend of Zelda NES is the original it is no longer sold in stores and only serious collectors (such as myself) have a copy (try e-bay?)

No. The original Super Mario Bros. for NES is the best game ever. However Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time defintely comes in second place.
Try buying an NES Game Atlas from Ebay or some other online store. The "Classic NES Series" for the Game Boy Advance makes very little, if not, no change to the original NES games.
The first game to have a system that allows one to save data was the original Legend of Zelda on the 8-bit NES.
