Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link

Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Justin The most anticipated sequel of all time, Zelda 2: The adventures of Link was to many people very disappointing, however I thought it was excellent. Link is sixteen now and Zelda has been put under a sleep spell. Your job is to locate and collect keys that are in stone statues. The statues are located in each of six palaces. this game is very complex and should be done carefully. "A" button strikes with Links sword and "B" button jumps. Use select to cast spells.

Graphics 5 out of 10

The backgrounds are bland and Link looks like the 8th dwarf, however, the overworld screen is not that bad. I think there was not a lot of time put into graphics so gameplay could be perfected. All in all, while not enjoyable the graphics are not horrible.

Music and Sound 3 out of 10

They took The Zelda theme and remixed it so it is just about enough to make you want to hurl. The beats are to repetitive and the melodies are just plain bad, my advice, play the game with no sound.

Game Challenge 10 out of 10

Here is where I pay my respects. The challenge on Zelda 2 is just about top of the line. It took me 26 hours to beat it from start to finish. You will frequently find yourself saying "where am I" or "what do I do next"? If there ever was a game that required making a map or frequently checking someone else's, this is that game, without one you will surely get lost.

Game Play-Fun 6 out of 10

Remember when you were playing the first Zelda? Every morning when you got up you would rush to the NES and loose yourself in the wonderful world of Hyrule, well don't expect that kind of enchantment in this game. See, Zelda was an adventure game where you could explore for hours but Zelda 2 is an RPG for more serious gamers. Also, the side scrolling gameplay is very different.

Frustration

Boy, you really have to be in a good mood to play Zelda 2! Every time Link gets hurt he makes the most annoying sound on earth. When you loose your last life, Gannon laughs at you which makes you wanna slap yourself silly, plus if you don't make maps or forget items you have to go all the way back.

Replayability 3 out of 10

Basically, once you beat this game you will need a nap! With The extra frustration level of gameplay involved, beating it gives you this feeling of greatness. I gave it a 3 for replayability because it is fun to do it after 10 years.

Game Value 9 out of 10

It is defiantly worth the price because of al the time you will end up putting into it. It is one of those games that once you stars playing it, you will have to finish it. It goes for about $7 now so that is a bargain no matter what skill level you are.

Good as the first? 0 out of 10

First of all, it is a well known fact that nothing can touch the original Zelda and players should beware that this is not the sequel they are looking for. It is almost like a whole different series because it is so different.

Overall 6 out of 10

In conclusion, I would say that how much a player will like this game depends on that players level of skill. For example, a beginner or intermediate should not even think about this game, but a player of good skill should consider getting this game.
