Other additions to Zelda II include an overworld screen, the use of magic and a “level-up” system but your main course of action as always is your sword and shield which you’ll need to properly engage/defend the many adversaries found throughout Hyrule. Despite this, most Zelda fans will feel right at home in terms of objectives as you take command of the titular hero and slash your way through caves and dungeons utilizing every trick and item you have at your disposal. While technically a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II deviates from the design of the originals top-down perspective by introducing a side-scrolling style that evolved the gameplay and brought more challenges than ever before. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is an action/role playing game where you once again step into the green tunic of Link and advance your way across the land of Hyrule this time in an effort to revive princess Zelda from a sleeping enchantment. Now it’s up to Link to find a way to retrieve the final piece of the legendary treasure and save Zelda from a terrible comatose fate before Ganon can return fully to the world! Geez, maybe it’s time to consider hiring Link for permanent security detail.
