Description
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is an action role-playing game developed by Nintendo R&D4 and published by Nintendo in 1988 — September 26th in Europe and December 1st in North America.
Bearing little resemblance to the first or later entries in the Legend of Zelda series, Zelda II features side-scrolling areas within a larger top-down world map, unlike the exclusively top-down perspective of the franchise's first game.
The side-scrolling gameplay and experience system are similar to features from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (which was released in the United States before Zelda II).
Zelda II combines many different gameplay features:
1. A strategic combat system.
2. A lives-based proximity continue system. 3. Experience-points/Level-based progression
4. A magic system
5. Increased interactions with non-player characters (NPC's).
Apart from "Link: The Faces of Evil" and "Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon", a pair of 2 Philips-published games released on the CD-i platform, no other The Legend of Zelda game utilises limited lives. Gameplay from a side-angle is occasionally used in Link's Awakening and other Game Boy/Game Boy Color The Legend of Zelda entries, which otherwise primarily play using a top-down view.
The NES version of Zelda 2 has many changes over the 1987 FDS original, including major audio changes. All songs have been re-arranged on updated Nintendo sound-drivers without the use of the FDS sound channel (due to hardware limitations). Also, select songs from the FDS original either have been replaced or extended for the NES version.
Composed by: Akito Nakatsuka (Credited as "Tsukasan")
Arranged by: Akito Nakatsuka (Credited as "Tsukasan")
Fun Fact:
The sound driver for Zelda II was also programmed by Akito Nakatsuka (Tsukasan) and was only used for this game.

- Improved quality to lossless in FLAC.
It would be nice to get the FDS soundtrack someday, it has a completely different feel and a unique Battle Theme
Good news, It was added just a month ago!

It would be even better if they allowed to pick what Version of the game you want to play.

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link is an opus that I personally found more successful than the first. The controls are very good although a bit heavy, the level design is excellent and the graphics are quite nice.
This title will unfortunately be underrated by some because of its style of play moving away from that of its predecessor and its difficulty sometimes poorly managed (the road to the Great Palace and the battle against Thunderbird are ultra hard and the final boss is very easy).
The soundtrack is a little better and more complete than that of Zelda 1. My favourite musics are Battle Theme, Boss Battle, Great Palace and Staff Roll.
Despite some flaws, this 2nd episode is still to be done.
Rating for the game : 80%
Rating for the soundtrack : 70%
For Me, Zelda II:The Adventure Of Link Is A Great Game With Okay Bosses (Besides The Annoying Thunderbird), Fun Palaces (That Includes The Great Palace Because After My First Playthrough, The Only Thing I Hate About The Palace Is The Stupid Knight Birds), Fun Items To Use, A Great RPG System (By That I Mean The Game's Magic, Strength, & Health Meters That You Grind For), And Fun Secrets. I Don't Like The Towns People Because They're Just As Bad As The Simon's Quest People. I'm Not Gonna Complain About The Game being Cryptic Because I Know Where Every Item, The Path To Get To The Boss In The Palaces, etc.

The Soundtrack & The Game Are amazing! But it isn't as good as the first which is pretty common for sequels. Soundtrack:8.8/10. Game:7.3/10.

This is honestly the most underrated Zelda game of all time. The soundtrack is amazing, and I recommend it to any retro fan (the game AND soundtrack)
