Ah yes Zelda II, this was a very very interesting game to say the very least. It changed almost everything about the first game giving it more of a role playing aspect. Such things were added to the game including magic, experience points and new skills that link learned as he progressed through the game. One major difference was that it was a side scroller. These differences are usually met with a very negative view by zelda fans making it the “black sheep” of the franchise. However most people who make these claims are newer zelda fans that don’t understand that this was only the second game in the series. It makes sense for them to want to try new things. It was an experiment and its not even a bad game just different. Personally its one of my favorite in the series. A word of warning though, this game is extremely difficult not only one of the hardest in the series but one of the hardest games ever made. There is much glory to be had in beating it, but also much hair to be lost…..Trust me.
