Ocarina of time disagrees
This belongs in r/unpopularopinion you degenerate
It is cool
Liked the final boss.
I liked this game ! When it was released it was different from the first one and I enjoyed it
When i was a kid, i found it to be un-fun. As an adult, i find the game to be un-fun. I found both the exploration and the combat to be tedious.
But i wouldn’t claim it is objectively bad. You do you.
I’d say second best, absolutely love it
2nd best* Link to the Past was peak Zelda/Gaming for me
I hated this game when I was young, because I expected it to be a continuation of Zelda.
Wasn’t until many years later I realized it was an RPG-style game and developed a much deeper appreciation.
The original Dark Souls.
I played it for the first time sometime within the last 5 years and I love it. I appreciate all the bold design differences from the first game.
This and Minish Cap are my favorite Zelda games
Headline checks out
Yup, that’s an unpopular opinion alright
Definitely loved it idk why people hate it
Kinda agree since it was the first i played.
I agree, glad I’m not the only one. I couldn’t beat it as a kid so I picked it up a year ago and finally conquered it. What a great journey it was.
It’s my second favorite in the series.
I dunno about “best” but I know I enjoyed the heck out of this game as a kid!
Underrated? Yes
Unduly hated? Absolutely
Best ever? Shit, it’s not even the best NES Zelda
If you haven’t already, check out the first Adventure Time game (Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!!). It’s a fantastic love letter to Zelda II.
I played this over and over as a kid. Ganon’s three note chuckle when you die now ringing in my ears
100% agree with OP. I love Zelda 2. It has the best combat, and 2D action platformers are a lot of fun.
My favorite game too. Very underrated, and you’ll have the patience of a saint after you beat the thing.
Definitely disagree on your “best Zelda game ever” take.
That said, I did love this game so much when I was a kid.
This game was such a beast when I was 7 years old and it was brand new. I couldn’t even get past the first dungeon. Now that I’m older I’ve revisited it with the help of some Let’s Play Youtube guides I was able to completely finish it. That was a very satisfying accomplishment.
It’s the first one I played through and beat.
Hard AF. The experience point system made it the only Zelda game that required grinding, which lets all admit, isn’t fun whatsoever. It also is probably the only Zelda that had as much “twitchy” video game stuff in it. The side scrolling portions were more Castlevania than Zelda, but less fun than Castlevania. It was a “big” game, but the graphics weren’t very good. Pretty repetitive, even for NES games. Enemies didn’t really change, they just became faster, required more hits to kill, or gained additional attacks. Which was likewise repetitive.
I look back on this game fondly, but it definitely isn’t one that I’d revisit anytime soon. It is a “good” game, but far from the best Zelda game. It is definitely unique in the series, if for game play and the story if nothing else.
Link to the past was pinnacle 2D Zelda and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees 😂
Zelda 2 is under rated
1000000000000000000000000000% agree….same with Mario 2
And the soundtrack slaps. Evocative of the first game while doing its own thing.
I’ll join your unpopular opinion. I loved Adventure of Link. The music is so insanely good, especially for NES era game music. The knights, the random encounters… And let’s not forget Bagu and his brother “I am Error.”
Good fackin times.
