Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – NES
Zelda II The Adventure of Link is typically the recipient of much undeserved criticism. Undue censure is bound to target anything that stands out from the crowd, and with that said it only makes sense that Zelda II would find itself in the crosshairs of the public eye. At the time, The Legend of Zelda had recently graced the Nintendo Entertainment System with substantial praise, so expectations were high. When Nintendo gave us something new and different, reactions were mixed. Some adored this fresh entry in the series, some reviled it. Whatever stance you take on the Zelda II debate, ZB would like a moment of your attention in order to discuss the finer points of Zelda II The Adventure of Link.
