Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete 

I've done a new 4K60 playthrough of Zelda 2, so please check that out instead! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pvse1JSiz9A.html

I always loved how Link would go inside a house with a super hot babe and be magically “healed” while in there

No matter how great the graphics become or even game play nothing will ever compare to being an 80's kid and experiencing the birth of it all. Truly magical.

"Each town has one wise men." The rest are all stupid.

It's a total departure from The Legend of Zelda, but then again, the fact that it's not a conventional sequel is one of my favorite things about Zelda 2. And its soundtrack, too, of course.

I must have played this game when I was 8 and never got to finish it. 30 years on and here I am watching the walkthrough...... Oh the nostalgia!!!!

I AM ERROR

Kids these days don't realize how hard some of these games were, too!

12:56 my thumb hurts just watching the amount of time being spent killing those floating skulls. I remember just skipping them.

Ganon’s game over laugh scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Yes! My favorite game I got at 12 years old. My neighbor friend gave it to me because he couldn't get anywhere with it. After 2 years I beat it! I never asked friends for help or consulted Nintendo Power! Now I can finish it in one game, no continues. ☺ Thanks for memories bro!!!

This game is the original Dark Souls: it's confusing, easy to get lost, kind of scary and hard as crap, but I can't put it down

So many good memories. Took me hole my childhood to Finnish this game. Masterpiece. Nice played I loved the musical rhythm you did at 2:23:55

I find it amusing that the magic and upgrades basically turn you into Mario. Turns red, jumps higher, shoots fireballs, does a ton of damage by jumping on things...

Born 89 A Link to the Past on Super Nintendo was my first true Zelda Experience, first true video game experience period along with Super Mario World, and Super Mario Bros. 3... my older cousins had this, and the original... My brothers and I just couldn't get into it cause A Link to the Past is so much better lol, and we beat it 100% multiple times before trying this, so it was too outdated gameplay/graphics wise to us... but I could totally understand the nostalgia for most who grew up older than myself. I wish I could've lived through true birth of it all.

the music in this game is so nice.

Love the dance @ 2:33:53 🤣

I remember beating this game when I was 9 or 10. Took many, many attempts in the Great Palace, I had half a health bar left when I got the last hit needed on the Shadow Link. Never felt a sweeter victory, nor heart-pounding fear, than that day. Thanks for posting this, it really takes me back!

I really love this game 💗!!! Despite the difficulty , it's one of my favorite Nes games

I was today years old when I found out you can kill the flashing skulls by hitting them dozens of times.

The music is so iconic. Such an underappreciated game.

I played this when i was 12. Back then i thought it was hardest weirdest coolest game lol

I just played through this game for the first time a few weeks ago, and it very quickly became one of my favorite games both on the NES and in the Zelda series. I restarted so many times figuring out how XP works until I figured out you get a free level from each palace, and minmaxed attack power. The difficulty was just right in my opinion. It's the black sheep, but it did what it set out to do extremely well.

Man, I must have beaten this game a ton of times as a kid, when this kind of stuff was standard video game stuff. Thanks for bringing this back. Loved it!

my favorite ZELDA of all times, especially from the NES era and yes i even feel deeper love for Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest since both games truly reminds me each other i still own the NES cartridge for both :)

2nd favorite Zelda next to super Nes a link to the past! Still have this game in the original cartridge😊

It'd be interesting seeing Nintendo try making a Zelda game like this again. This was so unique compared to all the other entries in the series.

So I’m 37, and am just discovering all the Zelda games now. This game is wonderful, and all I keep thinking is the difficulty level is perfect-for me now. If I tackled this 30 years ago, I wouldn’t have gotten out of the castle, and given up lmao

There is no reason why the skulls at 9:03 should take THAT many hits. At least you get OK experience from them.

What manner of man starts the game by walking left?

It AMAZES me how much these games influenced games today.

I literally sat on my toilet and watched this entire video again. Thanks. Good job

I love the music of this game. Love zelda 😍

22:48 Best part

If you pause at 42:34 you will see what looks like the world of the original Legend of Zelda, The two lakes for levels 1 and 4. Ocean on two sides. The resemblance is uncanny.

Despite the cool cartridge, I never liked this Zelda. Feels too much like Castlevania, and doesn't have the traditional gameplay. At least it debuted Dark Link and the Magic Meter.

Even I was born in late 1992 as I'm not ashamed of myself or what I'm from! I always think this game and other old games are much cooler then! Before 2020 we seemed to be much happier!

My childhood!!!! I have just dreamed about this game a few days ago. Such a nice game

Christmas morning 1989, and I just opened up my Nintendo. When I put this cartridge in, I was blown away by this dazzling title screen. What followed was a grand adventure, the likes of which I’d never seen.

Makes me cry this game loved it.

I think i prefer the famicom version if just for being able to level up whatever you want when you get enough exp and not having enemies that drain exp when they hit you.

I equate this to Castlevania 2. Not at all what you expect, had superior sound and graphics, yet, yeah. There were, well, quite frankly, bullshit moments in both. More so in Castlevania 2. All that being said, I do like both, mostly. But what do I know, I love me some Air Fortress and Friday the 13th, lol.

This was my all time favorite game. The game play was so ahead of its time!

Trying to play this on a Switch with the online ROM is kind of a pain. The joycon buttons just can't give you the DPAD this game needs and then you add the input lag on top of that. Quite the frustrating experience.

2:23:52 I lost it when he started dancing to the song 😂

Love this. My 3 yr old son and I beat Breathe of The Wild last month. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined this. Thanks for the vid.

buenas maniobras link oye en 27.53 en la salida de la cueva habia una hadita en tu derecha que hay un bosque

At 58:03 It's interesting to see that so many discovered the same way to attack these knights with "unblockable" attacks

I hate this game. Its awful. Had so many cardinal sins for a game of this type: -Tediously fortified enemies -Getting kicked into lava pits with enemy cheap-shots -Losing xp points when getting hit by certain enemies. Are you kidding? -Having to traverse the whole map upon startup to get where you were before -Extra lives not returning after save, but dying the only way to save. What? -Not enough powerup levels -Too short of a game even though that's kind of a plus... -Not much selection on weapons and specials Its just so bad. How could you go from the first game to this?

I'm getting chills with nostalgia. Amazing

I used to fake being sick for school in the 80’s to keep progressing in this game. It’s was magical to have a side scrolling Zelda game. The gold cartridge 👍

That final dungeon music is just so incredible

Bro, just want to say Awesome and thank you for posting! I just got a 239 in 1 game cartridge for NES and this is on it. Your videos are now invaluable to me! I feel like I'm 15 again!😁👍❤

I've played it on Gameboy Advance when i was 13 years old and have an Gameboy Advance SP on Christmas 2004.

This was MY favorite Zelda game as a kid. I enjoyed this one way more than the first one.

2023. 01.7. es uno de los juegos más fantásticos de la historia. Cuando era pequeña lo jugaba,jamás terminé pero ahora que he visto toda la historia está súper genial. Excelente ennlow 80tas y hoy día increíble la memoria.

i used to play this as a boy, then on an emulator in iraq during down time there. this game reminds me of the middle east. especially the villagers in the game and the greco-roman palaces that sort of remind me of an ancient byzantine empire monastary i seen in northern iraq. this game is ALL hajjed out..... 😀👳‍♂️👳‍♀️

Classic game, this one. Definitely a strange turn for the gameplay style (kind of a hybrid of a platformer and a Dragon Quest style RPG) but it works. And it's fun!

Awesome video! Also, I saw what you did there at 2:23:50 with Link. Hahaha!

Me gusto tu baile 2:23:53 :"D

Superb game, Superb era to be a kid !

2:35:45 Bro...I've been there, that's rough.

Nothing can touch the classic Zelda games, even with 8-bit graphics you could totally imagine being Link going through dungeons to save the Princess and to defeat Ganon....like someone said earlier, this truly shows how graphics arent everything to make a game great...its the gameplay itself and the way everything is setup! Only other game I got similar feelings to my 1st time playing The Legend Of Zelda, is when I got to play Ys: Books I&II off the TurboGraFX for my first time and luckily this wasnt even that long ago but it definitely brought back that nostalgic feel of exploration like Zelda games did for me!

2:35:48 classy move there :)

I love your channel. These games were so important to me when I was a kid. I played this so much when I was in 1st and 2nd grade and I remember the lead up to Zelda 2 coming out in Nintendo Power. Thank you for just presenting the gameplay and nothing else. Your channel is vital.

Beat the original Zelda no problem. Rented this game back in '89 or '90, got stuck in the very beginning somehow and couldn't figure how to continue. At 9yrs old I hated this game because of that... Think I'll take another crack at it one day!

This was my first Nintendo game, I was able to beat it only twice. You are skilled.

Having to accept games like this, Super Mario Bros. 2, and The Return of Samus, all totally different from their originals, made us more open-minded to new ideas.

Im doing a Zelda marathon and im playing this game now. I started this marathon over a year now.

The soon after released Battle of Olympus is quite similar in various ways.

Instant subscriber ❤ I remember blockbuster video Link II was one of the hardest games to find available to rent. One of the workers told me. Every day people are calling to see if we have copys to rent. Sorry ,keep calling back in 3days . Nice upload .love this game. This was harder then nails. No You tube! No Internet, but just ripping a page out of nintendo power magazine just to figure out .how to get the hammer to break the rocks. Thank you for upload. Sorry so talkative on first comment .

*My name is Error!* 😂

This game was lame in 1987 and it's still lame in 2023. But here I am again all these later and I've wasted two hours again :D Nice walk-through tho.

Ahhh, this brings me back to my childhood, when my dad would play this late at night and he’d let me sneak back out to the living room (after I’d been put to bed) to watch him play! I can remember snuggling up on the couch with my blanket like it was yesterday... Thanks for the memories!

nearly choked on my drink at 2:35:49 lolol

I just started watching old walk throughs its definitely keeping me sane

Ruto is both a town and a princess.

Wow, so many people talking about the game here, when I started playing I was confused af, I didn't understand where should I go or what should I do, exept reaching the castle and before that getting some hammer for the roadblock. I came here to see what its about and I like it, but its really hard. I got through the first one so I will get through this one too.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was originally slated for release in Spring 1988 in America to December 1 of that year.

This is no joke my favorite game in the entire Zelda series. Maybe the most nostalgic game of my childhood. And I didn't beat it until it was released on the Switch VC with save states.

wow i never knew you could kill those floating skulls in the palace by hitting them 1000 times lol i always thought it just paused them for a second

I like when classic franchise tries something different and out of their comfort zone. I know that sometimes "if it is not broken, don't fix it" can be true but most people always react rude when a franchise tried to make something new for a change. Zelda ll possible was critized and its time for the change but I couldn't care less, I like it and I am glad it is loved now. A shame that other classic franchise are trying new stuff right now and they are getting such idiotic comments lol Good playthrough, Alex, alongside Castlevania ll it is always great beat this game.

Enjoyed this play through very much! Also enjoyed the dance around 2:24:00 😀

I have nothing to say.

I seriously dislike you for wasting the time to kill every floating skull that takes 100 hits each....wth man!

1:47:27 some classic high quality boss design here

I actually liked this game more than the first one.

What’s up with Nintendo and making sequels unreasonably hard? (Zelda II and Mario 2)

Such a classic game! We were taken by surprise by the mix of overland view and side scroller, but it just added to the experience. Great upload!

The game over screen used to give me nightmares, from childhood to adulthood. Now that I've seen oh-so-many playthroughs, walkthroughs, let's plays, etc, that horrific game over screen no longer induces nightmares in me! Also, my brother got me a set of 4 Zelda-themed gold pins. Well, 3 gold pins and 1 silver pin, actually.

A couple of weeks ago for the first time ever I finish this game and the first one as well I can't believe it I never thought I would play thru these Zelda titles because of how difficult they are it was so incredibly tough I'm not as skilled like this guy I kind of took my time waited for enemies to respond until they would drop blue Potion bottles so I can refill my life I would stay in one of the fields and keep battling enemies until I gained enough lives to get through the area before reaching the last Palace

It would be cool if you could go through the game again strong. A start over option with all your gains

This one made me melancholic

For this one they borrowed heavily from the Sleeping Beauty story.

Your trek through the lava caves gave me legitimate anxiety. 10/10

You are f'n my brain... I forgot how far I actually got in this game.

EXPERIENCE POINTS STRATEGY: Do not set the crystals in the Palaces right away when you defeat a Boss. Instead, jump over the statue to exit the Palace. What this means is that each time you return to a Palace, the enemies there reset, allowing you to gain more EXP for higher levels. This is especially useful when gaining up to level 4 or 5 of Life, Magic and Attack.

I was 24 when this came out. Me and my friend used to play this all the time. Before it, we played legend of Zelda. The 2 were perhaps the very 1st video games I ever got addicted to. I was never that much into them before that.

i think 44:35 is an omage to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. [a long bridge to a huge grave yard aka "sad hill"
