The best Zelda-II hack I've played!!
Reviewed By: 8.bit.fan on 15 Nov 2021Like many others have already mentioned, this is by far one of the best Zelda-II hacks out there! Without going into much detail as I’d just be repeating what others have already said, I’d just like to say that I’ve had the most fun playing this Zelda-II hack among all the others. The other ones, while very interesting and lots of effort went into them as well, are just way too difficult and grindy to make the overall experience enjoyable. This hack does not do that. There are a few things that are questionable such as the removal of overworld enemies, etc. But the overall experience is one that is fun, engaging, and satisfying!
Zelda-II is one of my favorite Zeldas so thank you SO MUCH for this! This is incredible!
Highly recommended!!
9.5/10
