No, there's some platforming involved to get the sword, then it's back to (almost) the start to kill the bad guy. The swordfighting is so bad though that it's more a matter of luck than skill. Compare Zelda 2 to PoP. It's not even up for debate which game has better controls, because PoP is so terribly bad. |
We had better resistance to bad controls before! I didn't cared much back then! Even today, if you struggle with a gameplay-flawed game a little bit it becomes second nature fast - but I don't have the unlimited time or patience I had before to do that.
But I really dislike Zelda II (one of the few Nintendo games I don't like. Really, you can count them with one hand), so to me PoP is better, even if flawed a lot and havint worse controls! The SNES version was "platinuned", really one of my greatest gaming achievements. But what do you think of Blackthorne and Abe's Oddysey/Exodus? I love those PoP inspired games even more than PoP itself. Flashback was okay too, but not as much.
