Comments on: The Anatomy of Zelda II – I. Genre Shift http://www.anatomyofgames.com/2013/03/07/the-anatomy-of-zelda-ii-i-genre-shift/ Defunct, amateurish, game design analysis by Jeremy Parish Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:31:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.7 By: Sam http://www.anatomyofgames.com/2013/03/07/the-anatomy-of-zelda-ii-i-genre-shift/#comment-1318 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:28:07 +0000 http://telebunny.net/toastyblog/?p=6858#comment-1318 This was a great read, really looking forward to the rest of your analysis. I love Zelda II as well and think it’s criminally underrated, especially among hardcore Zelda fans. I think I like it even moreso now than I did as a kid. This could just be me being contrary for the sake of being contrary, but I think it’s because it’s one of the few Zelda games I actually consider being quite difficult. Like the original, it has almost none of the hand-holding that plagues the series nowadays. I also love how huge Hyrule appears in this game, with several towns all loaded with people. It’s a far cry from the original where Hyrule seems like a wasteland peppered with a few hermits living in caves.

Seriously happy to see you’re doing this one as your next Anatomy series. =)

I just wish we had another Zelda game like this… or heck, use Kid Icarus instead. In the meantime, I need to get my hands on Adventure Time.
