Simply put... Amazing
Reviewed By: hdofu on 27 Oct 2021Over the years there have been quite a few Zelda II hacks, some would get to points in-game and crash, some would get to points and literally be impossible to complete, many were made by someone who was some gaming masochist, finally comes a compelling Zelda II reimaging with new music, new towns, fantastic new sprites and while I’ve only begun to dip my toes into this adventure the difficulty doesn’t feel unfairly punishing the way many of these Zelda II hacks get fast.
If you are a fan of Zelda II who wanted another Zelda II hack worth playing, this one is an easy recommendation.
