We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
Excuse the title as it's a Ghostbusters quote.
The title explains what I'm thinking right now. It portrays my mood from my recent endeavor. I have never played a title that was so rage inducing and so satisfying to beat than Zelda 2. I was so happy to finish that game that I took a picture. I was playing it with the original cart on my Yobo FC. That's right. I'm hard core! No state saving. No Wii come back and play where you left off. Pure you start at the origin and walk to your destination every time you turn it on.
My thoughts on the game:
I thought the game was really fun but extremely difficult. There is a learning curve that is pretty steep. If you don't figure out how to easily kill the enemies then there is no hope for you. When I had started I was terrified of the Iron Knuckles. As I played I learned the trick to them and could kill them with out taking a hit. I later grinded off of the red ones to build my levels because they seemed too easy for the experience. The game is challenging and the controls are fluent. If you mess up it's your fault. Later on through the game there are some parts that were really aggravating. There is a room in the 6th palace where it is so easy to get knocked off and fall in the lava. It seems almost unfair at some parts. The trek to the grand palace was impossible (to me) with out the use of the fairy spell. Despite the difficulty the game it's really fun to play and I encourage any Zelda fan to try and beat it.
If any one says that Zelda 2 isn't a real Zelda games hasn't played it. Yes it is different but the formula is still there that has been in all of them. If it wasn't for Zelda 2 the series would be a dungeon crawler. Zelda 2 started the overworld quest to get to the dungeons. If you think side scrolling isn't Zelda then you must think that OOT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess aren't real Zelda games because they are 3D. Oh yeah I can be deep!
