>filters nu-zelda fans and touristsadmit it, it's the best 2D zelda.
its not a zelda game. its a faxanadu-like
It's the second best 2D Zelda after Zelda 1The best combat system of the serie too
Sidescrolling action RPG Zelda is best Zelda.
>>12516058As a kid I couldn't appreciate the gameplay.It is my shiniest cartridge though.
>>12516208So pretty.
>>12516058I was filtered, I’ll be honest. I just don’t like side scrolling Zelda.
>>12516218I love sidescrollers so it grew on me quick but I can see why people who loved the original LoZ would have problems with this game.
>>12516218Don't write off the entire concept based on Zelda 2, as side-scrolling sections in LA and the Oracles could be more to your taste.
it would have been better received if the sword was 1 pixel longer. Also the bug joke left a poor impression.
>>12516068Says "Zelda" right on the box, bud.
>>12516058Oh I agree. Zelda 2 is what got me hooked into the franchise. The soundtrack alone is straight up awesome!
>>12516226>>12516229The NES was slightly before my time (born 1986), so ALttP and Link’s Awakening were my first Zelda games as a kid. I didn’t play the original NES games until the late 90s when NESticle came out, so I never got the authentic experience on the original hardware.
>>12516514It was received fine, the issue is that then LttP and LA hard pivot back to being Zelda 1 but with better graphics (and intentionally toned down difficulty) that Zelda 2 focusing on the intense swordplay action and challenge feels more like a strange vestigial thing to the series. Hell, look at most modern Zelda fans: they don't even acknowledge both of the NES games when they list off the titles, they're just bizarre curios to them now.
>>12516596I know that /vr/ tends to lean toward higher difficulty, but the NES Zelda games felt a bit like early prototypes and ALttP is where they merged elements from bith into an instant classic. You could make the same argument with Super Metroid even if it is easier.
>>12516058combat is not enjoyable for me. reminds me of combat in RE 1 but in 2d just a lot of backing up and poking feet.
The grinding makes it totally umreplayable. Level systems don't belong in action games
>>12516596>look at most modern Zelda fans: they don't even acknowledge both of the NES games when they list off the titlesMost posers pretending to be old Zelda fans only refer to the 3D games prior to BotW; they tend to ignore the NES games.>>12516607>It's OK when games on the SNES and N64 get dumbed down
The filter is that the game is shit
>>12516869kek, filtered
>>12516865There’s a difference between dumbed down and cryptic 8-bit era gameplay.
