Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
Ойындар
A playthough of Nintendo's 1988 action-adventure game for the NES, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
Zelda II, much like Super Mario Bros. 2, was a bit of an odd duck. Both titles were follow-ups to some of Nintendo's most successful games, but instead of adhering to the styles established in originals, they were brand new gameplay experiences. It was a bit of a risky gambit in both cases, but it paid of handsomely in both cases, as did the hype generated by the huge shortage of both titles in America during the 1988 holiday season.
Zelda II still revolves around Link's adventures in Hyrule, but this time Zelda is playing the part of Sleeping Beauty, and she can only be wakened by the power of the Triforce.
Instead of playing solely from a top-down perspective like in The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II spends most of it's time as a 2D, side-scrolling platformer. There are now towns full of people to talk to and quests to fulfill, and though it still retains many of the exploration aspects of The Legend of Zelda's gameplay, this one is far more focused on dungeon-crawling and fighting.
As most people will tell you though, Zelda II pulls no punches in its difficulty. The platforming is tricky, but the enemies are merciless. It doesn't take too many times whiffing a sword strike to lead to your demise, though the Ganon/Soda Popinski laugh on the game over screen is pretty unforgettable. The enemy patterns are pretty unforgiving here, and you have to have your timing down, or you'll die often. It's not unfair, but it can be fairly rage-inducing at times. I've always found it to be one of Nintendo's hardest first-party games.
But it is fun, and it is a worthy follow-up to the original. The graphics and sound were terrific upgrades despite the game's age (Zelda II was released in Japan well before America ever got Zelda 1!), and the towns added a much-needed feeling of being "lived in" to Hyrule, and some of the Engrish-dialogue is quite meme-worthy.
It's amazing that Nintendo managed to so successfully create a sequel that broke with expectations in so many fundamental ways, but there is no denying that Zelda II was a smashing success and a damned good game.
I wonder how many NES controllers met their end because of this game?

It’s not that it’s difficult it’s that it pretty much leaves you to wonder what to do or where to go with no guidance. You have to figure everything out trial and error and then slowly the game starts to make sense. This is one of those games that isn’t hard because of the levels or enemies but because it takes great skill to know where to go and what to get in order to move on.

Christmas morning 1989, and I just opened up my Nintendo. When I put this cartridge in, I was blown away by this dazzling title screen. What followed was a grand adventure, the likes of which I’d never seen.
I find it amusing that the magic and upgrades basically turn you into Mario. Turns red, jumps higher, shoots fireballs, does a ton of damage by jumping on things...

I just played through this game for the first time a few weeks ago, and it very quickly became one of my favorite games both on the NES and in the Zelda series. I restarted so many times figuring out how XP works until I figured out you get a free level from each palace, and minmaxed attack power. The difficulty was just right in my opinion. It's the black sheep, but it did what it set out to do extremely well.

I was 24 when this came out. Me and my friend used to play this all the time. Before it, we played legend of Zelda. The 2 were perhaps the very 1st video games I ever got addicted to. I was never that much into them before that.
Great memories watching this! I was only five when I first started playing and this game kicked my ass!! I didn't even know there was a magic shield. Really wish I'd not given it away now
All I want to say is THANK YOU. This was my very first video game and I spent so many hours.... Took me 30 years to get back to it and see the full adventure,, but I enjoyed every minute of this video. Impressive.
So much nostalgia. This is one of the first games I remember that required you to use different tactics depending on which type of enemy you were facing. Like you could jump and duck stab in mid air to hit the knights over their shields etc. I also remember one of the harder bosses later in the game could be beaten exclusively with the down stab. You just had to time the jump right and could then basically bounce jump stabs on his head.
I have beat this several times over the years, and it's still one of my all time favorite games in general, and one of my favorite Zelda games too. Had it on NES back as a kid in the early 90's
I love the descriptions you write for your videos. You put so much effort into everything, it's great.

It'd be interesting seeing Nintendo try making a Zelda game like this again. This was so unique compared to all the other entries in the series.
Born 89 A Link to the Past on Super Nintendo was my first true Zelda Experience, first true video game experience period along with Super Mario World, and Super Mario Bros. 3... my older cousins had this, and the original... My brothers and I just couldn't get into it cause A Link to the Past is so much better lol, and we beat it 100% multiple times before trying this, so it was too outdated gameplay/graphics wise to us... but I could totally understand the nostalgia for most who grew up older than myself. I wish I could've lived through true birth of it all.

This is the game that spawned a love of RPG/Action games in me that lives on until this day. Link lead me to Final Fantasy... which led me to literally everything. Before these two games I only played Mario, Duck Hunt, Donkey Kong and the JR version. Never even thought there was a world of games outside those before this title. I was 8yrs old. good times.
This old great games have some special magic to it, its just great.
Dope video really great game!!
Nothing can touch the classic Zelda games, even with 8-bit graphics you could totally imagine being Link going through dungeons to save the Princess and to defeat Ganon....like someone said earlier, this truly shows how graphics arent everything to make a game great...its the gameplay itself and the way everything is setup! Only other game I got similar feelings to my 1st time playing The Legend Of Zelda, is when I got to play Ys: Books I&II off the TurboGraFX for my first time and luckily this wasnt even that long ago but it definitely brought back that nostalgic feel of exploration like Zelda games did for me!
Classic game, this one. Definitely a strange turn for the gameplay style (kind of a hybrid of a platformer and a Dragon Quest style RPG) but it works. And it's fun!
By far one of my old favourites
Boy this game brings back memories. Remember exploiting the falling birds in the shamp area. Could set my NES advantage to turbo and let it auto attack for a few hours. Come back next and my character was all leveled up.

You could stand on either the left, or right of the edge of the screen for this trick to work. Nintendo Power Magazine, yes?
never beat this and you are drawing me near to this. Hallelujah
Leveling up on those skull bubbles I see. I went overboard as a kid, I spent a few hours getting to level 8 on health and attack in the first palace.. Yeah, confirmed I had no life when I was logging in 4 hours on two screens of the first palace back then.
I have it for the NES, but I couldn’t ever finish it… really was hard! Finally, 23 year later I completed in the switch. AMAZING GAME!
Makes me a bid sad to miss my childhood... 90s was the best❤

I think i prefer the famicom version if just for being able to level up whatever you want when you get enough exp and not having enemies that drain exp when they hit you.

Yes it was so unnecessary to have enemies that drain exp points!
Merci, ça me rappelle mon enfance à toujours vouloir trouver des secrets.
