    While I applaud the effort and utilization of clever synonyms, it always rubs me the wrong way to see pixel art with pixels of varying sizes.

    @TheIrishNinja: Also, this was the last game I ever played together with my father. He bought an NES "for me" when I was two years old. After Link's Adventure he lost the spark. *sniff* I have abandonment issues that only side-scrolling Zelda games can heal!

    It's essentially Mega Man X with a sword. Not that it's not enjoyable, but it's not Zelda.

    Technically the pink hair makes even more beautifully 16-bit, given Link's sprite in A Link to the Past.

    @Syril:

    Yeah, one of the oddest sprite designs I've ever seen... Giving a blond-haired character (in character art) pink hair (in sprite form).


    It's probably a reference to ALttP... As well as giving the game an overall reference/parody feel to it.

    @Muisee: Zelda II was a good game. It was just excruciatingly difficult compared to other Zelda games. Personally would love it if Nintendo took everything from Zelda II and used it as the basis for a new IP. Perhaps with a more reasonable difficulty level.

    I third this motion. Zelda II was great. People just hate it because it wasn't exactly the same as the first (which is why people also hate SMB2)... Hmph!
