Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - #12 - Finale!

Originally streamed on 07/23/2021

I decided earlier that I was going to beat Zelda II that night, regardless of how long it would take. This is the fourth hour of a 4 1/2 hour stream!

In this hour, we get a real sense of the looming threat of the return of Ganon.

We also learn that the Grand Palace ain't no joke!

I decided earlier that I was going to beat Zelda II that night, regardless of how long it would take. This is the last half hour of a 4 1/2 hour stream!

It was 2:30 in the morning when we figured out Thunderbird and marched towards Dark Link.

Thank you so much for your support while I streamed Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. For the first time ever, I gave this game a serious chance.

It needs items. It needs a map system in Palaces. Palaces need to be designed better (Why do they all go down at the beginning of each palace? Why couldn't there be a "Palace in the Sky" or something where we go up?) But Zelda II is daring and bold. "Let's try a leveling system. Let's try a magic system. Let's try something different with combat. Let's actually have towns and not random old people in caves!"

If I had to put Zelda NES games on a Bell Curve, I would put Zelda I above average, but not by much. But Zelda II would be below average, but not by much.
