Is Zelda II a bad game?

Yes, it's just... Bad 12 25.00%
 
No, it's playable 9 18.75%

Yeah, I didn't like it. It's a hard game but for all the wrong reasons, usually if you're having trouble then you can just grind your way up to get past most sections. The unforgiving level design tends to railroad you into this play style. The gameplay itself was pretty innovative but it feels unoptimized, Link's sword is too short and the way spells work feels like you should be conservative when using them but at the same time, the spells are vital for your survival.

I didn't enjoy it as a child after the first game turned me into a gamer.

I tried to get into it over a few decades and it didn't appeal to me. I always wanted to like it though. It has a lot of charm and great ideas.

I finally beat it after owning it on Wii U VC. The save state feature let me cheat because the only reason I couldn't enjoy it was that I suck at it so bad. But I loved it! It is a fricking amazing game!!!!!



It's kinda Dark Souls in 2D. It's a great game.it's just very different than what you expect out of Zelda. It's a very tough game. Anyone who says it's bad just doesn't understand it.

Do you think you're the only one who can say a game is bad?

Or maybe there are a lot of games you don't understand...

Son?  I don't think so.



I love Zelda 2. I think people who don't like it just have weird opinions. They probably don't like Zelda 1 ether. I wouldn't worry too much about what people say about it. Sometimes games are just unjustifiably hated.

I've beaten it twice just because I love the franchise, but it's honestly the only Zelda I didn't have fun playing. The Game Over penalty was too obnoxious, the platforming was awkward and clunky, and the combat was more annoying than difficult.

Yeah dude, that's how things work. Everyone who doesn't share one particular opinion of yours just have weird opinions all around, guaranteed, 100% of the time. Not like you can have some disagreements with some people only over one or another thing.

For the record, I do like Zelda 1.

They do . Honestly it was a fun joke. I wasn't serious. It is just how I react to people who have much different opinions. Sometimes I do not understand why people why don't think Pikmin is the best game ever!

To me it's really good. But, by the end it's a little too difficult.

Going through most of the game was REALLY rewarding. Hard, but beatable. The last part the difficulty is a little too much. That's my only complaint.

Along with the first one, it's really good. A nice change from the formula. And I really like the music and overall atmosphere.
