God, it's worse than I remembered. Anyone who defends this trash either hasn't played it in 38 years or is a liar. It's awful in every way. Thank God ALTTP was a masterpiece cause this disaster would have killed most franchises.
>>739857756skill issue. git gud.
I played it last week on my SNES. I think it's just a skill issue on your part.
>>739857756What's wrong? Baby needs his building and crafting from botw?
I consider Zelda 2 a borderline bad game.>Have to grind to make Link competent>No items to purchase>Pretty much just have the sword as a weapon>Stuff that should have been in Link's kit as unlockables are spells, such as the shield spell>Section where you have to go through a dark cave before you get the lantern. Yes, there's only one enemy and it's barely a threat, but modern Nintendo would never do something like thatAlso, there are just better games on the NES. Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden are better action games. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are just better rpgs. Blaster Master and Guardian Legend are better from a "curiosity" standpoint.
>>739857756Zelda has mostly gone downhill since the NES entries.
>>739859248>Have to grind to make Link competentYou do not have to do that.>No items to purchaseThat is not a downside in a series where money is useless.>Pretty much just have the sword as a weaponYeah, it's all combat.>Stuff that should have been in Link's kit as unlockables are spells, such as the shield spellIt practically is in the base kit. It's literally the first town you go to before anywhere else.>Section where you have to go through a dark cave before you get the lantern. Yes, there's only one enemy and it's barely a threat, but modern Nintendo would never do something like thatI don't know man. It just sounds like you kids suck at actual games that aren't glorified interactive movies.>Also, there are just better games on the NES. Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden are better action games. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are just better rpgs. Blaster Master and Guardian Legend are better from a "curiosity" standpoint.Which you have not even played so.
>>739857756It's kino and you got filtered.
>>739859425I will concede that if you can beat Zelda 2 without cheats or savestates, you deserve free oral sex. It's one of the hardest, non-meme games I've ever played. I tapped out after the hidden palace.
>>739857756Link to the Past is the Zelda II of Zelda
>>739859598I agree, it's unironically my favorite NES game. The movement just feels great. Tbf i'm not a fan of the other Zeldas
>>739859695Nah. The only difficult part is the gauntlet to the Great Palace and the Palace itself.
>>739859858I was able to do the great palace as a 5 years old kid using my brother's save. In my opinion the last 3 dungeons before it were harder.
>>739861434I heavily disagree. The gauntlet to the Great Palace is legitimately the peak of the game's difficulty. The Great Palace itself isn't that hard but it's harder than most other things in the game.
>>739857756>this disaster would have killed most franchises.Castlevania 2 and Super Mario Bros 2 (America) didn't kill their franchises. Zelda II is much better than both.
It could be frustrating at times (especially those nigger lizalfos throwing rocks over the fences later on) but it was manageable.
That sword is fuckin sick
>>739857756better than zelda 1 and a nes top 20 game
>>739857756>Sickass enemy and area designs>A pretty decent list of magic>Never utilized in any games outside of this
>>739864383OoT was originally going to use spells again with the fairy spell included but they dropped the medallion stuff.
Death Mountain filtered me. That place was such total ass.
>>739865905I love the game and have been playing it for years but with each playthrough I always die at least once in Death Mountain.
I started playing all the zelda games in the last year, started with zelda 1 on nes, then 2, lttp, la, ocarina and now on majora's mask. Zelda 2 was amazing to me and definitely better than zelda 1 and lttp. I liked link's awakening more, and ocarina of time was amazing. basically zelda 1 and lttp have not much story so its just gameplay, same as zelda 2, but zelda 2's gameplay is way more engaging and fun. Ocarina is easy but the presentation is great
>>739867235>Zelda 2 was amazing to me and definitely better than zelda 1 and lttp.I'm the same way. I think Zelda 2 is the best 2D Zelda but I get called bait for saying it.
>>739857756>The Legend of Zelda>The Adventure of Link>The Tale of GanonHoly fuck, we were robbed of kino.
>>739857817>I played it last week on my SNES.
>>739867394I did on my Everdrive. There is a SNES port.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onU6LVgHX2s
