A great adventure for Zelda II enthusiasts!

# Difficulty:

+ Quite Higher than the original, at least by four or five times.

+ No guides required, no save states required.

- Too many game overs, most of them at the first half of the game. Half of them fighting Thunderbird. The single time it can feel really unfair when playing blind is the Thunderbird fight, needing to learn how Thunderbird moves, otherwise madness is guaranteed.

- Added platforming sections are very fun but, contain a couple of unfair death pits. On these an unseen enemy will get on screen when jumping to throw the player into a death pit, requiring to replay the section. These could have been easily ironed out.

# Graphics and design choices:

+ Overall graphics and design choices for the overworld, towns and palaces are simply stunning.

+ The white winter theme can be felt though the color palette. Graphics and design of the whole game are cohesive.

+ All bosses have been modified in some way that make the fight feel fresh. The fight with Dark Link is both tense and fun.

- Non-telegraphed overworld places are probably the worst part of Zelda II. This game is no exception.

# Music:

+ Themes quality ranges from good to great.

+ The final Palace theme.

# Gameplay Balance:

+ Continues at palaces.

- Grinding is sometimes needed to level up since experience is not saved. Since experience given by enemies has been halved grinding takes longer.
