A review for *shudders* the NES Zelda 2 game.

Graphics - 8
The graphics are great for it's time, but the enemies look good also, the map looks good on a grid in the overhead view, and the sidescrolling rooms and dungeons look colorful (Maybe). I give the graphics a 8.

Sounds - 7
The sounds are ok, such as link's sword sounds, the enemy sounds, and the battle start sounds are ok, but I feel like prefering the FDS version of the game for sounds rather than the NES version, the creepiest sound in the game is Ganon's Game Over screen laugh, it is absolutely scary! Here is what it sounds like:
[Game] Game Over, Return Of Gannon.
[Gannon] HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!

Seriously! I give the sounds a 7.

Addictiveness - 5
There isn't much to say, but I never enjoyed the game, it seemed okay at first, but it then gets scary with the infamous flashing screen of death whenever you die in this game, unfortuantly, it was only removed on the Wii Virtual Console Version. Anyways, I give the addictinf rating a "meh" 5.

Story - 7
It is basicly nearly the same story as Zelda 1, here is the story:
After Gannon was destroyed in link's past adventure, "impa" tells link that princess Zelda has fell asleep under a sleeping spell that makes her sleep for eternity unless link gets the no.3 triforce (AKA, the triforce of wisdom). Link then has to set off on his adventure-some quest! Who made Zelda fall asleep? We will never know.

I give the story a 7, was the story a spoiler?

Depth - 10
Just because it is a Zelda game, it has to be a long game, just like Zelda 1, but only this is even longer than Zelda 1, you have to fight monsters in the game to earn EXP and level up after getting enough, you have 3 different abilities:
- Attack
- Defense
- Life

There is so much stuff that you have to do, that it might take you more than a few years to finally beat the game after mastering it. I give the depth a 10.

Difficulty - 8
This is a really hard game, there are pits that are filled with water and lava that pull you under it and kill you at a instant, there are random pattern enemies, hard as "rats biting on metal" bosses near the end of the game, and there is lots and lots more, which is too much to explain so I give the difficulty a 8.

Overall - 7.7
Meh, it is a good game, but it has flaws, here are the flaws of the game:
- Holding Left/Right at the same time on a emulator makes you go at sonic speeds (almost).
- Gannon showing up trolling you on the Game Over screen with his laugh and evil silhouette. *runs away from house while screaming*
- No maps in dungeon, same with FDS version.
- Insanely difficult bosses and final bosses.
- You have to EXP grind at points just so you can level up to get through the palaces.
- When you get a Game Over, instead of respawning back at the palace, you start ALL the way back at the start! Nintendo is a meanie in this game!
- Seizure flickering screen upon death every time. My eyes would get damaged!


There is more to put, but that is just enough for the flaws of the game, I give the game a rating of a 7.7/10.

That has been a review from me, don't forget to check out my other reviews!

Overall rating - C+

Meh, it is scary all because of the stupid Game Over screen, it sends a absolute chill into my spine, it is scary as trying to eat into chocolate covered dog poop.

Good review. It was a good read.

Personally I don't get why people give this game such a hard time. Sure it isn't as good as the first Zelda on NES, but it still is a fun game to play. Hard as hell, but decent. Certainly not horrible.

Good review dude, I actually had to scroll down, instead of one of those ridiculous 50 word reviews. Man those get on my nerves. Way to point out good and bad things though! Keep up the good work.
