It's good, but overrated. Think of it a quirky Dragon Quest game, with many of the same flaws as the series it's parodying/aspiring to. The beginning, by which I mean the first four hours, are pretty slow and somewhat grindy, and it takes a long while until you get your second permanent member. On the other hand, once the game gets going it has a lot of goofy humor, and it skewers JRPG tropes pretty often.
Zelda II is an amazing game and only n00bs think otherwise. The difficulty is also often overstated: if you played NES games, it was on the modest end of the challenge spectrum. Which is to say it's hard for modern gamers, but a far cry from unbeatable. I'd put it with the old Megaman games, and below classic Ninja Gaiden. It does an excellent job of never being cheap, but you'll always be on your toes. Highly recommended, but you should spend your CN award elsewhere, since Zelda II costs only $5 and I believe is occassionally purchasable with coins anyway.
