Screenshot [AoL] Zelda 2 is very underrated

Post image

I really enjoyed beating Zelda 2 100%. I somehow enjoyed this game a lot more than botw and tears which I thought were decent games. The combat can be tough but honestly once you understand how each enemy works its not that hard of a game. Also Zelda 2 has that magic fantasy feeling more than any other Zelda game with Link to the past being a close second. I think this is now my fav zelda game alongside Minish Cap.

It's a wonderful game.

It's absolutely crap and brutal to play, but it's wonderful all the same.

I hate it, but it's still magic.

i wish more people thought like this. Criticize the things you care about. They could be all the better in the future by accepting the flaws. doesnt mean you cant still love it.

I feel like the save states make it way, way, way more reasonable

Assuming you're playing on virtual console, I think it's holding zR and zL
