both Zelda games on NES just were not that great IMO,Crystalis on NES and Startropics are far better games of that genre. Don't think Zelda truly hit stride til SNES then the 3D games.

Though personally my fave Zelda is Windwaker and Zelda DX.

 

You like crystalis and startropics?  Man those were two awesome games! I didn't know any one else knew they existed.  I loved the yo-yo weapons in startropics and that dolphin.  But I can't believe you like windwaker the best...boo

Startropic is available on VC if you want to recapture the joy of the game. I also thought I was the only one who loved Crystalis, that game was really great.

OT: Zelda II was my first Zelda game (I remember being wowed by the golden cartridge!). It took a really long time for me to beat (factoring the diffculty and the fact that I didn't speak English when I was 8-9) but I remember beating many times. Just for fun I would level my sword to the max in the first palace by killing the floating skulls over and over again for 50 exp.

I would run ahead and get the hammer before getting the candle (i know, insane) then I would go and get downthrust. I would then just hop on top of the skulls so I could just hold the down button instead of having to stab repeatedly.

I'm not that good any more

 

 

I always try that. I fail at it soo hard. I like to save the castle endings for the last few levels. If you put the crystal in its place, you get an automatic level up. Works well for the last sword/HP/MP stuff. Yeah sword is the most important part. You know I never did beat the game. Thats why I am playing now. I got to the fake link while emulating it once, and the rom was messed up :[
