A great adventure. It's this combination of unique elements that creates and action-RPG experience unlike any other, and it still holds up well today. [Dec 2004, p.100]

Armchair Empire
This is the only Zelda game I can think of that used experience points to level-up. Other than that, you’re dealing with a typical (and engrossing) Legend of Zelda experience.

Any game that holds up more than a decade later is definitely one to watch, and Zelda II is one of these games.

I have to say that I was surprised how good the game actually was and how badly the game gets trashed nowadays. Sure, it may be the worst in the series of Zelda titles, but it's by no means a bad game.

It's a recommended, and playable, adventure even today, but don't expect the same gameplay from the truly classic Zelda titles.

Adventure of Link might be more for completists than its predecessor was, but you can certainly find plenty here to keep you busy for some time.

It's a long adventure and although it may be somewhat boring by today's standards, it's a great way for beginners to submerse themselves in the RPG universe.
