The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link Is an amazing, and amazingly difficult game that is a direct sequel to the Legend of Zelda. This game came with an instructional book had a fully flushed out and detailed back story. I do not at this time remember the full back story to give it proper justice. But in short, a Princess Zelda is asleep, and you play as the role of Link to traverse six palaces, defeat their guardians and place six gems in some pedestals. Along the way you will collect various items, magical spells, sword techniques, healing the sick and saving little children. After all that you travel a brutally difficult path the final palace where the game will properly humble you, if it did not already do it before. Should you manage to avoid all the humbling, you will eventually fight a shadow Link. If you die along the way (and you will... many times), then the evil Gannon will return.

Now I will explain my ratings.

I like the graphics of this game. The graphics stick out in my mind as classic and endearing. However I do not think they hold up to today. The graphics of the over world are bland and lack detail. When the side scrolling parts commence, the graphics get much more detailed.

I love the sounds and music in this game. One will notice that the game over sound effect of Gannon laughing is also the same sound clip used in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Can you guess with opponent uses it?? The music goes with the action scenes and you will find yourself humming the over world tune.

Some people may get addicted to this game, some not. I found myself going through phases of getting really into this game and attempting to gain levels earlier, gain levels later, or just focus on one attribute when gaining levels.

As stated above, there is a long back story via the instructions manual. If you do not have the instruction manual, then it will not really obstruct your ability to play the game or even understand what is going on.

I do not remember if there is a 2nd quest to this game or not. But as far as the first quest, it can be beaten in a few hours, depending on how good you are and if you know where to go. Depth from this game can come from the RPG elements, but I do not see much past this.

I know this young kid who bragged about being sooooo awesome at video games. I then said to him "I don't here you saying Battletoads, or Zelda 2, or Ninja Gaiden. How can you be sooo awesome??" Zelda 2 is a very difficult game. However it is difficult because of the nature of the game. It is not because of the controls. The controls are responsive and tight and it is easy to learn how to play and control Link. I have seen some people exploit certain glitches, but I do not know how to do them. But with enough practice and deaths, you too will be able to put this badge on your sash.

I know a lot of people who have trashed talked this game. I disagree with them. This is a really fun game. I have had tons of fun playing this game with a my family and friends. I suggest checking it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

there are so many game that i like especially adventures

poopywyatt : I agree with you fully on your opinion of Zelda II! But did you intend to post the thread in the original Legend of Zelda or did you mean to post in Zelda II?

I am new to posting things. I wanted to post it as a review of Zelda 2.
