Episode 88 : Zelda II The Adventure of Link (NES)

Maybe our most divisive episode yet, we dive into the sequel to one of the undisputed NES classic games (the Legend of Zelda) as we cover the side-scrolling follow-up Zelda II : The Adventure of Link. Many people swear this game is the worst in the series, while many others love the fact that it's so different while still maintaining many staples of the Zelda series. Even just the three of us have different opinions on what did and didn't work on Link's sophomore adventure.

If you are one of those that love this, or someone that hated it, we try to back up our opinions here carefully, but we are sure to step on some toes with this one.

As always, we cover a few listener questions, and take a criticism of our slights on the unique Sega Genesis sound.

Want to get right to the adventure (of Link)? Start at the 11:00 mark.
