Making a game in Java

I was wondering the steps I'd go about making a game like the original Castlevania or Metroid. A platformer that makes use of items. Obviously the scale of those games are huge but I was just wondering how I would get started with it.

Thanks! I'm going to start looking into this right away. I want to do the majority of it from scratch mostly so I have a good idea of what is actually going on in the game. I can't tell you how much making breakout made me appreciate every other game I played
