    oh they weren't so bad when you could just up thrust them when they jumped. trying to judge where their oddly thrown sword bolts when they jumped were going to land, different story.

    I liked Z2.  The music choices were probably some of the best... temple wise.
  • I've never liked Zelda II. It just plays too different from other series entries. And this is coming from someone who isn't ordinarily afraid of change.

    Yeah I agree here. It's the same sort of attitude that creates a scenario where every game that comes out is an FPS. Not that people are obligated to like Zelda 2 or anything but disliking it because it isn't Zelda 1 doesn't make much sense to me.

    I just figured out that strategy for them this time around. I used to run for my life. Now it's just wait (and block), and JUMP!! They only get 1-3 hits on me instead of life threatening problems.

    Zelda 2 has awesome music. The Great Palace is one of my favorite NES tunes of all time.

    Now those are titles bearing the Zelda name that deserve every bit of hate imaginable by Zelda fans.
    (and man how I still remember wanting a CD-i and those games so badly in my youth. I would've done anything to play them then)

    I'm working on it image
  • I seem to remember too that when it came out pretty much everyone who had an NES liked it.
  • Love the game. 3rd favorite zelda game after Link to the past and the original. But hey, i like mario 2 slightly more than mario 3...

    Says it all. image
  • I liked the uniqueness of the game. I still find it incredibly hard though, which kinda kills it for me.
  • I enjoyed Zelda 2 just as much as the first one. The display change didn't bother me as much since I was young when it came out and more into side-scrollers at the time anyways. For me at a young age it was a great introduction to RPGs. Although I would still have to say that a link to the past was my favorite zelda adventure, yet this may be skewed since I have not fully played through Ocarina of time at this point. It's intersting to hear the opinions of people about this game.
