My very first video game other than Mario/Duck Hunt.

I'm not quite sure why more people don't remember this as one of the best Zelda games ever. It is classic Zelda but it's the only one in the series that is a platform side scrolling game which I'm a fan of. Other than that it's a normal action-rpg with level-ups in magic, health, and attack.

The bosses are killer, and to me Zelda 2 is not as child-like as some of the other Zelda titles. For example Zelda Wind Waker for the Game Cube. I don't want to bounce around on leaves like a little pinball, I want to use my sword and magic to crush bosses. That is what Zelda 2 for the NES offers. You even learn different jumping attacks as the game progresses.

Two down sides prevent it from being a 10. One is that the music is not what you would hope for in a classic Zelda game. The second point is the map screen which you travel between locations with. The graphics aren't good and it doesn't help the game.

Overall: a big 9. If it just had better music I'd have given it a 10. Recommended course of action: you can play it for free online.
