Zelda 2 is better than Zelda 1.
on opposite day.
Both are fucking garbage and aged like putrid vaginal fungus and dick cheese blend.
If you're a retard, sure. Zelda II is nothing but shitty combat.
>>732193845I dont agree but both are great
>>732193845>adventuring hero in a land of peril >not a single piece of actual armour>just cloth>even has largely exposed thighs in canon renditionskinda retarded a kingdom would allow their hero to depart underequipped
>>732193845Zelda 2 is super ambitious and reminds of of OoT and not just because of the town names but how the combat works, the items and magic, having an overworld that leads to the towns and dungeons
>>732194865>not a single piece of actual armourWhat do you call a shield?
>>732195264A toolAre you prepared for blizzard because youre holding a lighter?
>>732195420Okay bro, I hear you. Here's what we'll do. We'll just set up a shop and you can rent whatever gear you need when you need it. It'll be so much more convenient than finding gear on your adventure.
>>732194865If you play correctly he never gets hit though
>>732193845No, but it is better than about half the series.
>>732195541Why rent, it should be for free as link is fighting to secure the future of the entire land, the kingdom and its subjects are retarded I would say
>>732193845Do you think whoever made Faces of Evil played Zelda 2 first and then tried to copy the style?I get that impression, and just for that, Zelda 2 gets demoted to below 1. And Link's Awakening for that matter.
>>732193845zelda 2 is good but come on now
>>732197810The kingdom isn't going to have a future if they just hand out adventuring kits to every no-name they send out in a green tunic and tights.
>>732193845it's not, but continue to hold this contrarian opinion if you think it gives you characterworthless post, worthless mentality>UM ACTUALLY TOY STORY 4 IS THE BEST PIXAR MOVIE!!!just suffocate, why do you think building your personality on being different is cool?
>>732198027Somebody also made Zelda's Adventure.It was a shitty console with shitty games, no matter which games they were trying to imitate.
I unironically prefer Zelda 2 to OoT and ALTTP, it's just very fun to play
>>732193845Link doesn't wear pants
>>732195541only zelda game i dropped within an hour, and I was a huge alttp fan
>>732198163Link is the only green tunic accolade gathering adventure in zelda history, there is no one else if I recall, so give him everything he needs and more to get the job doneCome to think of it, a rival adventurer or the like wouldve been a cool idea for a zelda game
>>732199550>yeah sorry link that dungeon has already been cleared lol guess you should have done more speedrunning stratsyeah wow what a FUN and COOL idea!
>>732199786Pokefags had gary, i wanted a gary too
>>732198027Absolutely, keep in mind only 4 Zelda games existed at the time (excluding those Japanese exclusive Satellaview remakes).One of the quaintest memories I have is looking at YouTube comments around 2007 of people reacting towards the cutscenes from the CD-i Zeldas. At the time, most of the people commenting there were introduced to Zelda through Ocarina of Time and had little interest in the older games. It was incredibly funny to see them say shit like "wtf, Impa is a young woman not an old lady!" or react to the "tastes like a Daira" line like "did he say diarrhea?" (Daira was an enemy in Zelda 2), those were elements FAITHFUL to Zeldas at the time.
>>732193845Yeah, I agree. It's also considerably less cryptic too and the gameplay is more fun and engaging.
>>732198849I prefer it to ALttP but not to OoT. Zelda 2 is probably the best 2D Zelda unironically.
>>732198027It probably wasn't a big influence, if any at all. Sidescrollers were extremely popular and ubiquitous and they were easy to make even for inexperienced teams, 2d platformers were to the 90s what the shooter genre is to the 2020s. Plus it was perfect to showcase the CDI's capabilites, you can have detailed backgrounds and dump the gameplay on top. With top down you have to compromise alot more to make it playable. What I'm saying is that going with a sidescroller was a nobrainer rather than a concious and deliberate choice from the devs to do a follow up to Zelda 2.
>>732193845I played both in highschool on that gamecube collection disk and I'm inclined to agree that 2 has more value nowadays. 1's formula got majorly expanded on by later days that kinda left it in the dust. 2 remains fairly unique.
>>732200927>by later days*later gameshurr
>>732193845I really liked 2 as a kid but only beat it because of a friend's older brother. I replayed it in my early 20s and still liked it. I replayed it in my early 30s and hated it. I think a remaster with minor changes could make a big difference.
This is the best version of Zelda 2 btw
>>732201501>noooooooooooo this adventure is too adventurous aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeee help me niggerman
I like 2 but the game feels pretty unfocused and sloppily made to me. Towns were completely pointless and feel like they were only added because that's what RPGs were supposed to have. The mandatory action scenes (like when you cross certain bridges or go through that valley were those lizardmen throw rocks at you) got annoying quickly as well. Magic suffered from that problem where spells were only ever useful in a very specific situation rather than being something that you could find multiple uses for. Like, why would you ever use offensive magic in that game for example? You would just waste mana that you might need for healing.Fighting those knights was fun though.>>732200226>less crypticIt felt way more cryptic to me. If you drew a map while playing Zelda 1 and took notes of what NPCs told you, you could figure out 95% of the game yourself. The only thing I had to look up online while playing it for the first time was how to find that one dungeon that was under a bush. If you had Nintendo Power or a guidebook you could pretty much breeze through the game. 2 had the bullshit with the hidden towns where you had to cut down trees with a hammer (?) and dungeons were needlessly confusing to navigate without a map. The english script was also even worse than 1's so it made knowing how to advance harder to understand.
>>732201501>It also had the bullshit with the hidden towns where you had to cut down trees with a hammer (?) and dungeons were needlessly confusing to navigate without a map.New Kasuto is entirely optional so I'm letting that slide. The dungeons really aren't confusing at all except for obviously the last dungeon. You need to explore every room anyway and you'll just end up on the right track by doing so (Thunderbird Palace excluded).
>>732201635I don't know, every room in a dungeon looks the exact same in that game, it's hard to really keep track of where you are imoI still think dungeons were by far the most fun part of that game though.
>>732201306OK, I'll try it.
>>732193845Imagining what would a world where Zelda 2 became the preferred influential Zelda game would be like
>>732193845To this day I can't beat the first temple.
>>732193845This game is ripe for a fully 3D remake, moreso than the likes of Ocarina of Time again.
>>732203783They should remake it but stick with 2d. Make it like Metroid Dread
>>732198027I saw in a vid, they started the game before AlttP but finished long after it came out, so yeah Zelda 2 was lile half of the Zelda games back then.
>>732203910That's an option too, but obviously a big 3D game would be far better and worth the asking price. The abilities in Breath of the Wild originated here if you didn't realize, the jump spell, the lightning spell, the heal spell, and the shield spell.
>>732202162I disagree. They look pretty distinct from each other, even in your pic alone.
>>732204592No. Zelda doesn't work in 3D, please stop trying to ruin the few actually good Zelda games we have.
>>732205205Yeah you're retarded.
>>732193845Zelda 2 was much more interesting in how the progression works and the way you fight enemies.
Having overworld, towns and NPCs in sidescrollers was the fucking best and I hate it isn't more common
>>732201306OK, I tried it.Seems pretty good so far, I'll return to it after work.
