The Legend of Zelda 2: Rinku no bôken

Shigeru Miyamoto could have lived off the success of the hit Legend Of Zelda and made a sequel exactly like the first one...but instead, he decided to make a different kind of game, a side scrolling adventure. The result was Zelda 2: The Adventure Of Link. While the overhead view of the original didn't completely vanish, all action scenes were depicted on a side-scrolling view. Link could now jump, duck, and do all the other fun things he couldn't in the first one. The land is quite large, and their is something uniquely magical about this 8-bit wonder that many games nowadays fail to create...a pity, considering all the things we can do now. It goes to show you that technology isn't the only thing to make a game.

This game is fun to play, not much on graphics or sound, but what can you expect from the late 80's. Looking at what the Zelda world has turned into today, I strongly recommend you check this game out. I truly believe it's better than Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Even better than the game boy versions of Zelda. This game sticks to the story line and continues the adventure from the original game. Worth the time to play it.

I have played just about every Zelda game in existance. I tend to get through most of them as well. But there is an exception. I have never ever have gotten through Zelda II nor Wind Wakers (heck, I don't even own Wind Wakers yet).

Unlike most of the other Zelda games, Zelda II is a combination of RPG and Action-Adventure side scroller games, which is quite an original idea. The plot has to deal with Link having to recover Zelda from a strange illness that made her unconscious. However, some sacrifices obviously have to be made though.

To gamers everywhere: Zelda II has been re-released on a new game anthology called "Legend of Zelda collector's Edition" for the Nintendo Gamecube. But I have to warn you, this is not an easy game, in fact, it is far from easy.

The adventure of Link is the sequence of the 1987 NES classic. The game is now in 2-D side-scrolling view. The game has much better grahics than the first game.Now Link is much better made. The game's sound is medium. The gameplay is good.It's a little different the gameplay because of the new view, but the controls are good.The game has also an interesting system of making magic spells. And the game has a good fun factor.The better part is the new adventure after the end of the game(similar to the 1987 classic). The scores of the game are: GRAPHICS-9/10 SOUND-7/10 GAMEPLAY-9/10 FUN FACTOR-10/10

My overall for this game is 8.8/10.

Like many Nes sequals, the gameplay is very different (CastleVania II, Super Mario II etc) Although this game is very different from the original Classic, it is more innovative, original, and believe it or not, Fun. This is definatly one of the most underated NES games, get It, now !
