Do you think Zelda II is a bad game?

I don’t find it all that difficult. The first Zelda game is more difficult, especially when you have 6 moving things on the screen at once firing at you. Also, Super Mario Bros 3 and Castlevania 3 are significantly harder. Both games also have more spots that would be regarded as “cheap” deaths than Adventure of Link.

The problem is people who are used to Link to the Past to Skyward Sword’s difficulties are judging Zelda 2 as being too hard - those later Zelda games are disgustingly easy; you’d only die from being careless. Perhaps with only Majora’s Mask aside (and even that’s pushing it), Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game in thirty years that had actual challenge and could actually kill you. Zelda 2 was the previous one.
