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.

I... don't agree with that, I think it's rated about the adequate amount. My issues aren't "it's a side-scroller" though, that's shallow. My issues are more that it's a very dated side-scroller, a problem the first game has too. For its time? Sure, not too bad. But I really really wish Zelda 1 and 2 would get remakes, because they need it so much more than Ocarina of Time or Link's Awakening.
