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]
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.

I played Zelda as a kid and loved it. I replayed it as an adult with my son and we both loved it. Levels are challenging, progression rewarding and music awesome. Unlike some modern AAA titles.

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.
If I rated the NES in metascore I would rate this a 77/100. But the GBA port is better and another plus is you can play it almost anywhere and the game is good in general.

Okay, I want to get this out of the way first. No, its not like any other Zelda Game (As of yet). But that doesn't mean it is necessarily bad. Plus, this was the second game, its not like the series had an established formula yet. Also, when Ocarina of Time came out, it was like no other Zelda Game at the time. No one criticized it for that. Okay, that's out of the way. Another complaint is that "It's too hard!" Well, yes, I have never beaten it, but a game being hard doesn't mean it is bad! Dark Souls and Mario Two/The Lost Levels were hard and still are! They were never criticized for that! I honestly don't see what's so bad about this game. It isn't the best Zelda Game by any means, but it isn't bad.

As a HUGE fan of TLOZ , the biggest flop started with Zelda II , and I'm not saying it's wrong at all but it doesn't feel like a true TLOZ experience . Even with this port , it doesn't do anything significantly dramatic to make it better. Still for TLOZ fans it's worth a try .

Zelda II was notoriously difficult. I played the Nintendo switch digital console version of this game. It was a pain. The enemies are difficult, if you want to pass through dungeons, you better save up on magic. The regular enemies in this game are difficult to deal with and that's not even counting the bosses.
There is one thing that this game does right: the music. Zelda II's soundtrack is the only reason its a 4.0 because I literally cannot find anything else that's good about it.

Un juego que intentó cosas diferentes y algunas, como la barra de magia se quedaron en posteriores entregas de la saga. Pero en mi opinión el juego es imposible pasarselo en la época sin guía o hoy día sin internet, la dificultad está totalmente rota con enemigos apareciendote de repente en decimas de segundo, y ni la música ni los escenarios, ni tampoco la historia son muy memorables. Es un juego que jugué porque se llama Zelda pero la verdad que es un estilo muy diferente que no me acabó de convencer.
4/10
