Shame Zelda II Hard Type and Zelda II the Challenge Hacks were never finished, they were fun until in the case of hard type the game locked up in the second dungeon and in the case of Challenge hack it was impossible to get through that one dungeon
Wow, that's a lot! Which one is the best? And which one is most different from the original?
No. Stop. Don't do it. Mike will never play anything else on his channel ever again. XD
Yay!!!
There goes my next 6 months...
I’ve got a ton of great memories playing and or watching my Dad play the NES Zelda and Castlevania games. I can even still remember me and my Dad going to Toys R Us to pick up Zelda II when it first came out. Same with Simon’s Quest. Used to love the games section at Toys R Us back in the late 80’s early 90’s.
Yeah you grabbed a sticker and took it to the counter the big room with all the games
Something I learned recently about Zelda II is that enemies drop items for every 6th enemy killed. Which makes it useful to kill anything you see to hopefully get blue or red magic jars, or exp bags.
Watching this has made me see that Mike is the real AVGN.
Isn't that how it always is? Larry Flint didn't play Larry Flint in The People vs Larry Flint...Woody Harrelson did. Larry Flint had a cameo as a judge. Just like Mike had cameos as Bugs Bunny, the Joker, ect...cameos in a show about him.
It's soul sucking seeing James Rolfe get the accolades. Homeboy is legit retarded.
@@pbabiesinspace6112🤔. … 😮
Props on keeping retro gaming alive
Trying
@@mikematei Hey Mike..did you stream a playthrough of Golden Axe Warrior for Sega Master System yet?
5:28:36 I always thought Zelda 2 was an attempt to get Zelda into "Castlevania" territory, to capitalize on the trend.
I love how MENTAL Mike goes! Game rage, it's something we can all relate to. When I was a kid, my Mum got concerned about how much I was screaming and swearing when I was playing Nintendo.
Mine too, daggy mums didn't understand
I just got my voice back last year after the great ghosts and goblins blowup circa 1987
@@typuyt she got alright! She was swearing like a Sailor trying to get past the first boss on Addams Family on the super nintendo! It was hilarious. I'd do it in like 30 seconds and she'd spend hours trying and never be able to do it. My Dad did get past a level that me and my Brother were stuck on, on Donkey Kong Country 2. I seriously could not believe it! Happy gaming🤗!
The part around the 2 hour mark where Mike is relentlessly trying to get through that death mountain area is golden. This hack is so damn hard! He was a real trooper for sticking it out. Love Zelda 2 hacks and randomizers and Mike plays them better than anyone.
fell asleep in the beginning and woke up at this 2:36:24. the universe speaks to me :)
2:30:00 My apologies, but Mikes facial expressions and aggressive table hammering, has me crying! 😅😂🤣
This has inspired me to play Zelda II again. I've finished it once before and I remember going completely insane in the middle of the night, trying to figure out what to do. I didn't have the internet or anything and finally finding out what to do...thee Best feeling in the world!
Beating Zelda 2 was super rewarding. I agree with Mike they should do more side scroller Zelda, it's a fun format. This hack is awesome
@@tommj4365 i love the game as well but there are some enemies i really fucking hate and i wish i could get rid of them the blue knights would be one of them
Hell yeah
You should investigate the Z2 "Amida's Curse" hack. It's truly a masterpiece and not overly difficult.
@@SeveredLegs I started and finished it again during lockdown... I probably didn't have to grind so much but hey 🏹🗡️⚔️📜💣🗝️☢️🎼
10 hours!? Hell yeah! Thanks for uploading this Mike!
I like these NES hacks. Amazing what imagination can do even with NES technology.
The limitations make them so much more creative and interesting, especially when they do something that the original game didn’t ala music or gameplay mechanics.
I love me some Mike Matei Rage
No, don't encourage him.
it takes us all back to when we tried to beat games like ninja gaiden and ghost and goblins lol. oh, the anger was great...
lol at completely disregarding “the cross hides in plain sight” the rest of this play through could’ve went soooo much smoother! But it would’ve been less entertaining so I’m glad Mike didn’t realize right away
Damn...I somehow got to the end of this video...same length as the LOTR's trilogy...and I realize there is a part 2!
"So long and thanks for all the fish!" I think that's the first time I've seen a Hitchhikers guide reference. Nice
Watching Mike play and rage through these hacks is next level. And this is from a guy who has a hard time playing the original games themselves! Much appreciated and THANK YOU for your content!
Thank you for watching the streams! glad you enjoy
@@mikematei i like watching you blast through these retro games i also enjoy watching you play games with Erin or James ...Tony Tuesdays were ok too Tony just didn't have the skills to keep up with The Man..he's a manbaby yeah!!
🙄
The world needs more NES games with Mike Matei playing them on TH-cam
4:12:44
The blue guy dies when Horsehead dies anyway.
Dude that Charlie and the chocolate factory joke about 6:03:15 in is the BEST thing I’ve ever heard!!!!
Haha! The river man’s reference to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at 3:55 had me laughing
Hey man, I mentioned during this stream that another good hack is End of Day! It's a good one but not hard, the real hard one is **Nightmare of Ganon**
Please Mike, nightmare of ganon is what I'm thinking pretty soon?
I'll take a look at it
2:20:13 that was beautiful
Great stream mike, I appreciate the effort. You're one of my favorites to watch.
Can’t stop laughing when Mike is hitting the table to funny Lol
"I think I broke my hand. I'm gonna keep playing. It's fine"
This game is hard. The only areas I've been to already is the cave in the beginning and a bridge. Both areas have a boomerang thrower, though normally not a problem. Here though, I'm not sure if it's where the levels are so low in the beginning or if it is increased diffulty. Hard to tell from what I remember of the original game. I'm like goodness two gameovers that quick. Nothing at all like Resurrection and Aminas Curse. I have a feeling I'm gonna have trouble with this one.
This is my second time watching the play through of this. It's impressive that you never say screw this and move on to a different game. This is so much fun to watch.
0:00 Here's the Zelda reference if you wanted to know.
Pretty sure you have to have the downward thrust to go down chimneys. The downward thrust in the original was a door in a Belltower on a church
also, before you enter the lady healers house, the upthrust will also do her justice... :D
Press the B BUTTon to go to the main menu of your DVD.
Mike please do LoZ Oracle of Ages And Seasons next please on GBC!!! Thanks.
There was an ice dungeon on link to the past snes my personal fav
UK Super Nes came with a composite and stereo scart adapter block you plugged your wires into, same with n64 and gamecube, official rgb cables were sold seperately. Nes came with an rf switch box, to switch between aeriel or game. Snes also came with the rf adaptor.
Man... that Life spell just before the 4 hour mark was huge. This hack is crazy. I like it but I don't think I would ever be able to complete it.
The Key is the link.
The link must be severed.
Such is the will of God.
Thank you for the long videos.
2:20:44 Mike, your Gollum impression is one of your best, I feel like you use a similar technique as your Donald Duck impression.
Lmao right off the bat JimmyFourCocks hits you with a sub. Thats the best user i think I've ever heard
gapefist_mcfarter brought me here from another stream.
why don't you block the iron knuckle flying swords? the hack removed the blocking?
You should be more patient fighting them.
The 90yo Mike voice killed me. "HERE HE COMES! ITS A WIZROBE!"
Bro u might get a million subs. I was here when you had like 45 k
I dont do this for the subs or views. I was surprised when this channel got ANY subs and views, it was very unexpected.
I made this channel just so that I had an archive of my twitch streams to go back to. I really didn’t think anyone was going to watch it. So if I never get another sub, or had like 30 subs, that would be fine. I never expected this to be anything.
@@mikematei yeay I know that's why it's awesome
20 hours... lets go you can do this dont give up on me~
How many good Zelda hacks/homebrews have you come across so far? I'm sure there's a mess of crap out there.
I just installed this onto my NES Classic after seeing your stream. It’s hard so far, but I like what the creator did with this.
How the hell did you do that? I need to learn
Where can I find a download link for this
A link to the past?
6:13:50, good run right there. "Eat my shit" lmao.
I swear I went to town once and link got it on with the grandma.
Looking forward to seeing the edited TH-cam version. The twitch stream was an emotional roller-coaster
THANK YOU MIKE. Love the uploads, keep 'em coming!
Great job Mike....You're a Warrior!!🤘😠
where do you get this game?
hey man i happened to find you on here and started watching your videos and have really enjoyed it keep up the awesome work
very nice hack dude!!
yeah mike developed it
Mike: Oh man, can we take one second for a second?
Done. xD
Yo mike what would ur top 3 fav zeldas be?
I’m going to guess based on past commentary that it’s Zelda 1, Zelda 2 and A Link to the Past, in that order. Could be Link’s Awakening too, though.
My top 3 would have to be...umm... Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker.. then Link to the Past. I haven't played the new one, have to gat a switch, or Skyward Sword or any of the game boy ones. I love it how Mike makes maps! Hell funny.
Bless Mike for his endurance
868 4:33:55 douglas adams reference
So I put this on for background noise, and totally forgot that we had a conversation about scart connections (although you called me “exaction”) 🤣🤣
I actually love this Zelda game, and when compared to skyward this is pure gold
I have the pokemon legend of Zelda hack the one u play as pikachu
Slippy Phillips MD
cool ernie impression!
Hell yes this sounds exciting
The euro/aus version of the super nintendo was far far superior to the US version. Looks design and feel were all better.
Great stream, can't wait for next time.
Mike is the REAL angry video game nerd! fucking angry and half crazy while not acting as a character but as himself =P its a joy to watch! btw: tose blue darknuts are really easy, when you walk right to them, blocking all the knifes with the shield and stabbing up or down, depending where their own shield is. you made yourself a bad time, mike
It’s always the fart cloud animations that you get you in the end.
Zelda hacks 🤩
And this one is one of the best!
Would like to play this. Honestly not sure how though.
After all of these years it has finally hit me. Zelda 2 is a zelda game without bombs.... 😱
lol
There was a regular chimney right when you restarted after the boss,
867. 1:46:39 no magic lady
Mike's the master gamer
I can't believe how long you played through that... oh wait, yes I can, this is what you do. Btw, it's a chair, you sit your ass in it.😆 thank you for that
So awesome. More please.
Retro Matai at it again! Never stop being the awesome and rad guy that you are.
Live. Love. Be. Believe.
What are you?
A motivational poster? 🙄
@BleachDemon707 some days, yes.
Have you played the other Milons secret castle game? Do Re Me Milons quest for super famicom? its pretty good.
Mike please play Oracle of Seasons and Ages on GBC. Thks.
This was highly entertaining
Edit: no pun intended
You should stream trying out psp games or 3ds games it would be nice 👍
2:33:34
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(Let it out Mike we've all been there)
Nyu nyu nyu nyu -Ganon
Go Mike go!
Mike please ignore the dipshit fucking haters and keep doing what you do, these archives are one of the only things i watch on yt anymore, and just fyi you could honestly do the whole stream just talking and that would be fine, with so much fake shit in the world now you'd be surprised how nice it is to hear someone speak truth for a change. Great stream Mike.
I love to build brown bricks with minecrap
What did you find....mike
bro i just want to hear following caligula in the winter solstice zelda hack...is that so much to ask?
it took me like 3 days to watch this i'd watch a couple hrs here and there. anyways Mike ya got my T-shirt bro i haven't worn it in awhile but i have that shirt along with some Zelda socks as well
We miss your work at cinemasacre Mike, now that you're not part of the team, its very obvious that AVGN videos are lacking your touch. We know you are the real AVGN inspiration.
Bro, you're a machine. That's all I can say.
We all are! But yes, Mike is a God amongst men!
@@matthewgrove-jones3001 & a King amongst gods
Men amongst kings
@@tommj4365 King amongst men
I realize this isn't all done at once but shit, I'm lucky if I get to game for 2 hours... and I definitely don't get paid for it lol
Mike is the man!!!
This must have taken at least 5 years off his life span
@mike matei keep up the good work 🖖🎮🖖
"Jumping" while fighting ironknuckles?
9:07:17 the power of 7, that must be her perfect length
Dude you pull off some baller fucking moves on a very tough hack you’ve never played before.(I am aware the mechanics are the same in the original). Nice job man and thanks for the entertainment.
Sega genesis dragon the Bruce lee story please sir
Dude fuck side scrolling Zelda. But Mike is so authentic with his game curses.
