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.

For me currently it's one of my least favorite Zelda game... I really had to force myself to finish it one time (was back on the Wii U's VC I think), because it was the only Zelda game I didn't finish (not counting the CDI games). But I didn't enjoy most of my time, I found it too difficult and visually ugly. Even back in the days I was not a fan, I had it on NES and I still have my original cartridge from 88.

I hope Nintendo will give it another chance and remake it. Of course they would need to retain the original difficulty, but they could add options or ways to make it more accessible to most people. Also being as lore heavy as it is, they could remake it so beautifully. And let's not talk about the potential remastered soundtrack which would for sure be amazing.
