Remember Link’s hover boots in Ocarina of Time? Remember how, whenever you wore them, Link’s movement wouldn’t have any traction, and he’d constantly be sliding around as if he were running on a sheet of thick ice? That’s what Zelda II feels like all the time.

I also enjoy this game quite a lot, though I can't refute any of your main points, which seem to be "leveling sucks; the game is too hard." I will agree that the leveling system, with exp resetting, was a little bogus, because saving became irritatingly difficult, and I'll also agree that the game (esp the last dungeon) was fuck hard. The last dungeon is huge! However, I don't see this differing that much from any of this era's games. Metroid is also fuck hard and has a lengthy and annoying password system. Zelda 1 is damn hard with a huge last dungeon and a save system that kills all your hearts (grrrrr).

I think that this review was well-written and as fair as it could be given that I disagree with the conclusion almost completely.

I'd agree it's a good review. You take a game I really dig and bash it.....but in a way where I can't dismiss your review as simply an attempt to agitate a fanbase (as some negative reviews for popular games I've read seem to be). You make good, reasoned points to the degree I really can't say much more than "agree to disagree".

There is no way the first Zelda is anywhere near as difficult as Zelda II. And even then, when the game IS challenging, it's challenging for the right reasons. Zelda II is just aggravating.

I think Zelda I is challenging for all the wrong reasons.

Spaceworlder likes to tell people that he doesn't like Zelda I.
