I’ve been determined to finally beat Zelda II and determine that I would do it without save states and without a guide.
I know Zelda II is considered a black sheep somewhat but I really think in some ways it’s more fun than the original although I’d still pick Zelda 1 over II.
Absolutely one of my favorite NES games!
If you liked this I highly recommend checking out Hoverbat’s PC enhanced port, Link the Adventuresome. It’s an enhanced expanded version of Zelda II that even has a second quest. Plays just like the classic with additional content on par with the original.
