There is no doubt that the Legend of Zelda Trilogy is legendary in the world of gaming. But when it comes down to gameplay Zelda II: Adventure of Link stands out the most in the eyes of some people. The gameplay in Zelda II saw players travel in a top down world map along with side scrolling areas where players would battle enemies similar to the the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for the NES.

If Nintendo had made an attempt to remake Zelda II back in the early 90’s it would have been interesting. After all, Zelda II was considered a huge success on the NES following is release in NES in late 1988. However, since Nintendo eventually went back to having a top down perspective without side scrolling stages in Zelda: Link to the Past there would have been no point on remaking Zelda II for the SNES at all. In fact, making the Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past have top down perspective gameplay throughout its entirety was one of the things that contributed to the game’s success following its release on the SNES in 1993.

One response to “Would an SNES remake of Zelda II: Adventure of Link have worked in the 90’s?”

  1. I love your blog! Very thought provoking how it challenges history. Zelda 2 should have DEFINITELY been an SNES release! Graphically it would have been superb and the gameplay much better. Still, it is a classic in it’s own right. If you get a chance, look up Smooth McGrooves “Zelda 2 Palace theme” on YouTube. It’s awesome bro! V.R.
