awesome game but be prepared for a different zelda experience and PUNISHING difficulty

User Rating: 7.5 | Zelda II: The Adventure of Link NES
zelda 2 is a great game like the rest in the series. but this time it isnt an overhead view like in the others. this game is mainly a side scroller which makes things much different from the other zelda games. while you still collect various items along the way you never rele get to use any of them except your sword, sheild, and a few magic spells. as mentioned in the gamespot review links sword is way too short and you will most likeley throw your wii against the wall in frustration while playing this game. it took my friend and i about a week to beat and we were playing for about 8 or 9 hours a day (lol the weather sucked and we had nothing to do) so you shouldnt be worried about longevity. overall its a good game though and its definatley worth checking out, especially for newbies to the zelda series who want to see what the originals were like. however be ready to spend hours on this difficult game.
