Even harder than the original
Reviewed By: Thirteen 1355 on 24 May 2023I don’t really understand how this one is supposed to be more forgiving than the original. It throws very hard enemies at you from the start (harder than the regular Zelda II beginning enemies), and a game over still takes you back to the start of the entire game. The first dungeon just made me quit. It’s just too much of a hassle. I prefer the original Zelda II, because it gradually introduces you to the difficulty of the game.
