It's so that at the end, when he puts the coin in the temple, he goes to the next full level, and gains 900 points for beating the first temple, instead of something along the lines of 100-200 points.
So does the glitch that allows you to slide across the screen at hyper speed only exist in certain versions of the game? Or could it be that It only occurs on emulators? I sort of doubt the latter.
I wish they had used the same engine they made Zelda 1 with for this game. The corrected a ton of mistakes they made with this game in the snes version, including going back to the gods eye view system, but I would love to play another 8 bit version of the game similar to the original.
when i heard that zelda II got a lot of hate i was like well its not bad i mean some flaws i can think of are its freakin hard and confusing then i saw why people hated it and i was like wtf thats your excuse its too different what retarded excuse is that
how the hell is he doing that slick jump and stab thing ? Where he jumps right at the enemies face and kills it . I cant pull it off and i dont know why. I can do it on horsehead just fine and beat him without getting hit . Im way to annoyed by not being able to do this for being 26 hahahaha
Wow, this guy's moving! All business; he doesn't even slow down on those Ironknuckles. Hehe.. nice. I liked how he just walked into horsehead and started popping him without delay.
And, indeed, this game rules. The only one I like more is LoZ quest 2.
I wonder why they made this a sidescroller while all the other games are either 3D or top-view 2d like the original Legend of zelda and link to the past
i think they just wanted to capatilize on the success of the first one asap,,, so they turned out this crap.,.just like mario 2...you know it was a different game...
This game is amazing; anyone that tells you otherwise is dead-wrong. Sure it's different than the first one, but that is part of what makes it such a good game. The music is gold too!
Oh btw, Mario 2 is an awesome game, some people say that it is bad, but they are probably just complaining because it is quite difficult. Princess Peach and Toad all the way!!!
I don't like this zelda very much, because its not one of the typical zeldas. I thin zelda isn't a Jump'n'Run Game.
Nice Vid, but there's another one I've seen and I'm sorry to say that, but he was much better. He finished the game without loosing one heart! But otherwise this vid isn't bad ;)
i would say ocarina of time is the best of the series, and the best game for n64. I would also say that legend if zelda is the greatest game series of all time...most people don't get that even though it's old school it's still better than a lot of new games....
yeah, the old games like n64 games and genesis had AMAZING graphics, and today, take the wii, yes the games have good graphics BUT THERE IS WAY LESS GAMEPLAY!!!!! take the n64, super mario 64, best mario game ever. genesis. MK had AMAZING graphics like all the blood. if we used the same graphics now as we did 10 years ago with n64 and snes and all tht, GAMES WOULD BE WAY MORE POPULAR!!!!!!!!!
I remember when I was like 5 and playing this I stayed in the castle for like 1 hour because I believed the princess would eventually wake up if I just stood there. XD
I love how you have the same bizarre ticks I did when I played this game. Random jumps and swinging at the the wall when riding elevators. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Great run, man!
I know. The 2:nd palace was one hell of a mace so I could not find the boss. And I could not find the way to the 3:rd palace due to all the god damn caves which was extremely confusing.
My bad. My first responce is why I'm stuck in Zelda 3. So here's why I'm stuck in Zelda 2: As soon as I have passed the cave to the swamp south of the Hyrule Palace, Those god damn monsters kicked my ass over and over. There was no way I could prevent that!
thats basicly what i did *not the speed run* but get my attack to 4 then i would just dones of random battles and get at least 3-4 magic and life upgrades, it was great8-)
This game was an absolute hit with me. I found it very challenging yet winnable. I also liked the fact you could make Link jump, crouch, thrust his sword up or down, and use magic. I was absolutely addicted.
It depresses me, I can't look at this game and think about it as a Zelda game. Just nothing about it reminds me of Zelda, about how awesome the first one was, and how awesome the rest are. It's still an ok game, but I can't view it as highly as the rest.
This game brings back so many memories. Most valuable skill to have: downthrust, hands down. I use the same technique on those... I guess they're still called darknuts, heh. Very smart using the level ups like you did. I never thought of using it that way. For a while I never knew you could choose to level up the same thing.
I found you and will watch all of your videos. I love this game. Classic music, man. I don't know why so many Zelda fans hate this one the most. This is just classic.
Thanks for uploading this, and to the runner, very well done, especially with the Armos. Man, I hated those things. This really was a great game (though no match for the original, in my opinion.)
Thank god Zelda didnt stick with this gameplay. Really fun game still I just didnt like the side scrolling.
