Old school gamers review February 13, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an exact remake of the nintendo classic. The grafics are poor compared to todays standards, and the game is hard but you have to take into consideration when this game was origonaly released, by those standards it was of the highest quality.
Dispite its age and substandard grafics the game is challanging and fun and different from all of the other common Zelda games in the navigation of the world and the view of the game. You navigate useing a map and view the game from the side in a standard side scrolling manner.
 Very Hard! Cool Sound Effects! July 14, 2006

VIDEO GAMERS BEWARE THIS GAME IS THE HARDEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED! I FINALLY BEAT THE FIRST DUNGEON ON THE COLLECTORS EDITION. GREAT MUSIC! SETS UP THE STAGE FOR A LINK TO THE PAST!
FRUSTERATING! FUN! COOL SOUNDS WHEN YOU DIE! GANONS LAUGH IS FUNNY!
P.S. LINKS SHADOW IS COOL FROM WHAT IVE HEARD!
 probably the most difficult Zelda game in the entire series April 6, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I played this on nes 12 years ago and still havent finished it....it is easily one of the most difficult Zelda games I've ever played. your sword is too short, some of the enemies are cheap (the blue knights! those B@stards!) and the most frustrating of all, when you lose all your lives, you will start all the way over again in Zelda's castle with your exp set back to zero. I remember playing this game, getting to the 5th or 6th palace, and the boss was really difficlut..took me 35 tries before i finished the little c0cksucker off! you had to jump in, hit his stomach with your sword and jump back before he hit you with his mace....that was seriously tough.
I did recently finish it without a game genie, but with an emulator that allowed me to save anywhere. the only way to play this game
get Zelda 3 instead!
UPDATE: WOOHOO, JUST FINISHED IT LAST WEEK!! VICTORY!!!......LOL

This is definetly for hard core zelda fans who want a challenge. This game is HARD.
Underrated Zelda sequel, deserving of any fan's attention February 6, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This particular Zelda sequel has gotten the short end of the stick for far too long, it's time to set the record straight!
The first thing to remark about this installment is that, for the most part, it is a side-scrolling platformer-esque title. It's OK, its differen't, doesn't mean it's bad, don't be afraid!
Truth is I love jumping around, landing on baddies and all that good stuff.
This is the first zelda to have a world map. The first one was essentially one large outdoor dungeon. It's the first zelda to make you interact with characters to get things done. Honestly I think the music is quite well done as well. All the attention seems to go to the original, Link to the Past or Ocarina.
Adventures of Link is the middle child of the zelda franchise, but it has a lot to offer, if you can stick with it. It can be frustratingly hard as any good retro game can be, but stick with it and you too will learn the upward thrust, the downward thrust, a spell to turn you into a fairy (not that there's anything wrong with that) and how to use a simple hammer to break huge daunting roadblocks.
