Legend of Zelda 2

Sorry about the long delay. I was away on a family trip and there wasn't really a good time to post. Also, you lose the habit of posting if you don't keep it up. So, in celebration of over 100 blog views (queue muted clapping) a quick look back at The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

Yeah, I played it.

This game is considered the funny cousin of the Zelda series, even more so than the wind waker branch. The game was also on the NES, just like the original, but was a departure from the action/adventure dungeon crawling of the rest of the series. It instead had a much greater emphasis on platforming and combat, but it still had puzzles. The overworld map had enemies running along it that you had to fight. 

The game was also wicked hard. In general the combat was tough but what would really get you was some of the platforming. If you've played Castlevania, it was like that; the jumps were challenging in themselves, but trying to make those jumps while dodging enemies is just unreasonably brutal. I wouldn't recommend this game for everyone, but I would say it is an interesting chapter of the Zelda franchise that is worth a look. At least it isn't the monstrosity below.

Starting to lose interest, but I will stick with it for a while longer. Got the lunar surface rug from Sahara. Saw the Kings Crown in the Able sister's shop. Cost was 1,200,000 bells for a hat...... 2/3 of the way to the next piece of my house. Its summer, so there is a bigger variety of bugs and fish.
