The game at 0:53 is Sheep Lad
*The definitive way to play Adventures of Link is to:*
*1.) Open the cartridge cover on your NES.*
*2.) Grab your AoL/Zelda 2 cartridge.*
*3.) Then throw it in the garbage. (As it is basically Dragon Warrior with a Zelda theme and not acknowledged as being part of the Zelda series).*
@@asmongoldsmouth9839since when?
@@asmongoldsmouth9839 not acknowledged as part of the series (other than the massive, overwhelming influence it had on every game in the series)
Was about to ask, then saw this pinned. Thanks to both of you
What was the game at 0:56? The sprite work is kind of gorgeous.
I just 100% completed that game, and it was one of the best games I’ve ever played. The inability to abuse save states, or look up every secret, and being forced to figure them all out by myself was just invigorating and gloriously rewarding. It’s a masterpiece.
In the original game, you could actually save by using the second controller and hitting Up and A while you were on the spell menu screen. It was on page 47 in the US release's manual.
😯
Well, technically you could save. What it did was to effectively kill your character.
That works in Zelda 1 and in Metroid for that matter! Well it brings up Metroid's password anyway.
BS way since you needed the 2nd controller.
Several NES games had functionality with the second controller in a single player game. For instance, Duck Hunt was actually a two player game. The controller controlled the ducks. Me and my sister did that for hours.
It's not perfect, but the first 3DS Adventure Time game "Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?" is a surprisingly okay homage to Zelda II
I've heard good things about it.
It was really pretty fun. I enjoyed it enough to finish it, and while it's no Zelda II, it gets the formula mostly right.
I liked this game too!
Yes! Glad to see someone else say this!
Good to know. I thought La-Mulana is the only game that makes a good job out of the Zelda II formula.
Zelda 2 was my first Zelda game and will always be special for that reason. Plus, it was the first game I ever beat. No guides, no walkthroughs, just me.
When I discovered this remake about a month, I was absolutely floored. I always held Z2 close to my heart as it was one of the first Zelda games I tried playing as a kid, and as I grew up, I got better until (lol) I finally returned to it in high school and beat it. But it always left something to be desired, like it was unfinished and too small. THIS remake however, oh my god... just perfect. Once I started playing, I binged it for two weeks straight, spending every hour after work and two full weekends just gobbling it up. I couldn't get over all the new items added and how big the world felt. And you better believe I played that 2nd quest! It was SOOOOO worth it.
Can you get it on steam deck ?
This game is an absolute masterpiece. He adds so many side quests and they're so well done. The end of the second quest was fantasitc. Even added funny things like the new fairy spell.
*If Adventures of Link was a masterpiece, then Nintendo would have made another side-scroller with the minimal overhead that it had. But they went RIGHT BACK to overhead view. Then, in the late 90s, they skipped side-scroller again and went 3D 3rd person.*
I was looking into Zelda 2 qol romhacks recently with the intent to give one of them a shot eventually, but I had no idea a full remake like this existed! I'll definitely give it a shot some time.
If you just want QOL Zelda II redux has you covered
There's several remakes. I remember there being a Night, a Day, and I think a Winter one.
I just beat the 1st quest this morning. I'm BLOWN AWAY. Playing this felt like playing Zelda II for the first time when I was 8. But the reality is it's now the giant, epic adventure and solid game kid me always imagined it was.
This was my first Zelda game that I got along with my NES in 1989, and it will forever be etched into my Christmas memories. Every aspect of the Hoverbat rework is a massive quality of life improvement, from animated water to grass and stones, clouds, everything. It's called this in other comments, but I think it applies. This hack makes ZII a bona-fide Masterpiece. And whats best about it is that it never looks glaringly out of place, like so many other hacks. Every asset looks like it was there to begin with. It makes the game so moody and lived-in, it's just fantastic. I wish the original could have been exactly like this.
I never got to beating this game but it's nice to see this much effort put into reworking it!
I played this game so much but never beat it because of the crappy save system. I loved this game and always regretted not beating it
I actually played this recently and really enjoyed it, Hoverbat really added some great stuff to this game, it is not an exact copy of Zelda II, however, it feels like the best version of the game, tons of new content and items, minigames and a new palace.
Friends don't let friends put points into magic or life until attack is at level 4 or so. lol
lol, I think it aligned a certain way with my palace level ups to get magic up when I did.
@@TectonicImprov I beat it on the nes when it came out and I leveled up like they want you too life, magic, life, attack. Then youtube made me feel like the dumbest man alive.
Hey thanks for the background assets for Steam! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy
It was my first Zelda game, and I love it, even more than the original. I wish they’d do a full remake of it.
Very happy this video came across my recommendations. I also really love zelda 2, the difficulty is high and unforgiving but there's really no other game that makes me feel the exhilarating rush of a sword duel quite like fighting off one-on-one against a Darknut in this game. I was actually replaying the game while waiting for Tears of the Kingdom to come out and was curiously looking through all the fun romhacks for the game. It's a shame that zelda 2 hasn't had much of a legacy quite the way zelda 1 did. I think Zelda 2 is a genuinely great first stab at a side-scrolling combat game. It has plenty of room for improvement of course, but there's very little out there that tries to do what it does. I will definitely check out this (I'm not sure what to call it actually... fan game? fan expansion?) it looks right up my alley.
Finally beat Zelda 2 last year after 35 years. Felt so cathartic doing so. I was 4 going on 5 years old when it came out, and I was 39 going on 40 when I beat it. Thank goodness for the 3DS eShop while it was still open.
Now play this!
I'm only up to the raft but I'm enjoying it so far. The water well mini dungeon mentioned in the video is a great example of extra content done right.
I was around 8 to 10 years old when I beat this game. I still love Zelda too and I still think my mom in my thoughts that she got me this amazing game, not realizing how hard it was because it was so hard that it taught me persistence. That persistence is something that I have carried with me all my life. Like last month, I was hit by a car and badly injured while on the sidewalk. The persistence that I learned while dealing with a Zelda to as a child, kicked in, and I was determined to learn to walk again. It was painful and I am still working on walking but at least I can move around a decently without having to use my walker for short distances. Yes, it was the hardness of a game that taught me life lessons. And I still remember vividly enjoying this game every Saturday night. I had it hooked up to our 32 inch TV, you got a remember this was the mid 90s, so 32 inch was pretty big. And it was hooked into our 14 speaker surround sound stereo system. What a way to enjoy Zelda to when you’re a little kid who is done with homework and Saturday chores.
14 speaker surround? Man movie nights must've been the best
@@FigureFarter if a movie had an explosion, the walls would rumble and it felt like the ceiling would come down on us since speakers were in the walls and the ceiling. Movies, music and even video games….was like sitting in a concert arena. My favorite was, if the sounds where coded properly, whatever you heard wouldn’t fire all the speakers at once but rather, use the speakers separately according to the distance between the events on the screen or in the song or in the game. Like I first watched the movie titanic…..and when the ship was breaking, you hear the breaking of the ship coming from the back of the house and the sound came to the front and then you where surrounded by the earth shattering breakup of titanic. But it first started in the back of the house, so you barely noticed it. Once it hit the front, then the cracks went above to the ceiling and finally, all speakers were firing, creating a very haunting scene. You feel the vibrations of the breaking ship in the air. It wss….emotionsl. Video games were even more interesting but music was the greatest. Especially songs with rich instrumentals like echos from Pink Floyd.
This looks great!!!! I'm in my 40s so I played and ENJOYED Zelda 2 when it came out back in the day. I'm really excited about the added content and potential added content I just saw. The facelift looks almost perfect.
They really should've given Link a bigger sword in this game. For the whole adventure and not just when he goes to that lady's house.
He just needed more deprivation, like in Demon Sword. That guy's sword kept growing as the goalposts kept moving after every big tussle!
@grimfang4 that game rocked! I had it and Legend of Kage on NES.
Don't want to spoil a lot so if anyone doesn't want to know don't read below.......
There is a longer sword upgrade in the game and it even allows you to kill enemies that you normally need the "fire" spell for.
I can’t wait to play this! Thanks so much for sharing! One of my favorite Zelda games.
It's nice to see this game getting so much love. It would be great to see Nintendo make new Zelda games that use the basic Zelda II gameplay structure, but with some quality of life tweaks like those seen in these remakes (much like how they continued to make old-school top-down Zelda games for the DS even after the main console games had moved onto 3D).
I've only experienced this game 2nd hand from watching videos and being told about it, but this looks like I can finally fix that.
I just came across this video and am BLOWN AWAY! This looks amazing! Zelda 2 is my favorite in the series, as it holds the most nostalgia for me from my childhood. Is this strictly a PC emulator game, or can this be played on our Everdrives on real hardware? I have to play this, but if it's a PC only thing, I'm SERIOUSLY, going to cry! Great job to the creator of this incredible looking remake/rom hack. 🤜🤛
It made with GameMaker and appears to be distributed only in Windows format. This project will never be playable on NES hardware.
Man, I remember pulling some late-nighters sleeping over at a friends house when the first game released. Absolutely loved everything about it, and I still hum the theme song pretty regularly even to this day. Zelda 2 released when I was about 11, and it was just too different. I remember looking at the photos in nintendo power and being so, so disappointed. With the release of this 'enhanced edition', maybe it's finally time I dove in and gave it a shot.
This looks insane! I will need to check it out.
Ehh, no. To me, this is not playing Zelda II, this is playing the fan port of Zelda II (which may be a great game, I’m happy to take your word on that).
Zelda II is a nightmare. The fact that this fan put in all this time and energy to try and make it good is a testament to that.
"Yes, there is a randomizer." LOL that got me! How did you know that was relevant to my interests?
I did that pogo game probably 30 times before winning it. By far my least favorite part of the game. But then I found out after you get the upgraded chicken spell you have a ridiculous amount of control over the pogo compared to link's form and you can do it every single time in about 15 to 20 seconds. Just wait until you have that spell and there's zero challenge to it at all. This game was great. I've already completed it 2 more times with the randomizer. If you randomize keys and p-bags though, you're probably going to want to lower the amount of crystals you need for the last palace because good luck finding all of them otherwise.
It cannot be a small feat to go about recreating even an NES game. If I ever get the itch to play Z2 again, I'll be sure to try this version out.
I love Zelda 2. I've beaten all Zelda games to date, except those on the Philips CD-i system. While Zelda 2 is by far the easiest Zelda and one of the simplest NES games, it has always given me the most enjoyment. It was also the first game I ever completed back in 1988 when I was 9 years old.
I definitely gotta check this out, thanks for the recommendation!!
I still like to see a 3D remake of the game with theme palaces, some of the spells change to weapons. Jump to hookshot. The fairy spell used to get some rooms with a small hole like in Minish Cap. The reflect spell turns the shield into the mirror shield.
You could actually save by using the second controller and hitting Up and A while you were on the spell menu screen
Surprised to see this not being taken down by Nintendo. Grabbed it while I still can
If you're looking for a good spiritual successor to zelda 2, I highly reccomend trying out phoenotppia awakening.
The game's is structured with an overworld, monster battles, and vertical 2d perspective dungeons. There's also some other zelda and dark souls influence with puzzles and a stamina gauge but the combat, sense of abiltiy progression and exploration in phoenotopia got me hooked just the same way I was with zelda 2. The developer has also stated that Zelda 2 was one of his main inspirations when making the game.
There's a free demo on steam so u can give just give that a shot if ur interested.
Amazing, thanks for the info on this version!
I owned and played this game very soon after it was released. I had also played the The Legend of Zelda before that, and it's actually one of my favorite games of all time. I never really had this disappointment in the sequel everyone goes on about. I loved it for what it was. This is an awesome mod that really makes going back to this game very nostalgic and fun. Thanks TectonicImprov for sharing this and Hoverbat for this great reimagining.
Bro, gonna give this a shot. This looks fantastic.
I recently beat the original NES Zelda II and I have to say that game wasn't as bad as I thought (the key is not trying to complete the palaces, just grab the items and keep exploring). When I played the game I thought that it would be a game that would benefit a remaster due to its initial ambition. The fan remake seems to confirm that.
no... actually the key is "grind before taking on death mountain" to get the hammer having at least level 5 for everything or you will have a bad time.
Oh this looks pretty cool. I also didn’t like how the extra lives worked so it’s cool they changed that here. Especially with all the new content I might have to try this out.
Dude. Agreed. Might be my favorite zelda. And the remake is so sick
There certainly is a way to save in Zelda II without dying. Press start on controller 1, then press up and start on controller 2. The save screen will appear, and you can save your game.
I would level up a bit in the first dungeon on bubbles for 50 exp each. I would grind up and then take advantage of the automatic jewel level ups. You can be op early if you spend a little time
Zelda 1 is my favorite game of all time
Zelda 2 is my favorite game of all time
And the third rule of Fight Club is...
I've played the fangame and its quite good, it does ramp up the difficulty quickly though so it is intended for the Zelda 2 enthusiast. If you're looking for something that runs on original hardware (with flash cart, everdrive, or powerpak) then I would highly recommend the Amida's Curse romhack. It has many of the quality of life features of the fan remake and some of its own. For example it has the maximum life increase that saves between sessions, but it also actually removes random encounters entirely by replacing them with areas you want to explore to seek out enemies. It also features entirely custom music and original graphics based on the original.

If Nintendo developed a Zelda II remake, i would absolutely be down for it
I would also play an remake of A Link to the Past.
100% Id pay a full $60-70 USD day one for a physical copy of a Nintendo-made remake of Zelda II
Also, this game is amazing, most fun I've had with Zelda 2 outside of Amida's Curse.
This is the most exciting video I've come across in a long time. And thanks for the Steam .png assets, too!
Despite a lot of people talking smack about Zelda 2, I remember getting it when it came out as a kid. I loved it at the time and I have replayed it multiple times as an adult. This remake looks sick.
This looks amazing and I have to play it.
WoW, I havent played Zelda II since I was a child.
When I was a child, I begged for Zelda game to my nes and I got Zelda II Christmas 1989.
I never told grandma that it was wrong Zelda game. But I grew to love that game. The combat, the giant map and all the hidden secrets! But I sold my NES to by my SNES. This video have made me download Game.
Thanks.
I honestly hope Hoverbat gets to work on an indie release in the future, much like how Doctor M64 ended up working on Ori 2 after finishing AM2R.
As for ZALIA, if I could change one thing, I would add an _option_ to make it so that after initiating a downward stab, Link remains in that state without needing to hold down until he lands or swings his sword. Yes, I would specifically only use this option once, and yes it would be for that damn pogo minigame!
Happy to see Robin Poe's new game advertised here in the beginning. :)
loved zedla 2. music and leveling up great
I remember beating this game as a kid... both myself and my sister were playing, I got softlocked in that dungeon in the lake in the 2nd continent (it was quite annoying that one could mess up their key allocation that bad) and my sister kept handing me the controller when bosses and such got too hard for her (I'm ashamed to admit I started encouraging her, especially after I got softlocked and didn't want to replay the earlier bits) so I ended up basically beating it on her game, even strategically using the mana recharge from level-up while at max level to restore just before the final boss.
I'm playing Zelda 2 as we speak. Love it.!!
Me too.
Wow, as someone very fond of Zelda 2, this one looks ace! The added sections have definitely captured the Nintendo charm!
Wow this looks amazing!
So far, this is the best thing I've played for a while. Zelda 2 was my favorite game for decades.
The Battle of Olympus for the NES is the closest game to Zelda 2 I have ever played. It starts out a little slow, but it is awesome overall. Just remember to hit "retry" and not "continue" if you don't want to lose half your money. Also, hold down when you jump and strike at the Lamia's head. It will cause your character to pull up their legs like they're ducking, making it harder for her to hit you.
This expansion made this one of my favorite game so of all time
I added this in the Game Suggestions section of ProJared’s Discord. Hopefully he’ll give it a try.
He's playing it now on his newest let's play series. Thanks for suggesting it to him.
wow! didn't knew about this. Gotta play it
tec i gotta tell you the intro to this vid knocked me on my ass, what a killer bait and switch
Not sure if you'll ever see this, but as a fan of Zelda 2, you owe it you yourself to play "Link and Zelda: Panoply of Calatia" if you haven't. It's a Zelda Classic quest. It's probably the only one worth playing. It really feels like Nintendo made Zelda 3 for the NES. It's probably the best Zelda fan game I've ever played. It spans the Hyrule locations from both Zelda 1 and 2. It's loaded with dungeons, new items and a story taken from Nintendo Power. I can't describe how good and impressive it is.
You are seen.
Idk is it cuz of my nostalgia for smbc and Mari0
but Zelda 2 has to most beautiful Nes visuals in my opinion so seeing it in widescreen is just Amazing
should definitely play this remake!
It'd be super neat if you could make a video about "Metroid Planets", a PC port of the original NES/Famicom Metroid game.
It got lots of quality of life improvements, new game modes, multiplayer etc. It has parallels to this Zelda II project.
Seems interesting. Last time I played Metroid 1 was via an enhanced hack that added a map function into the game. But that was over a decade ago, maybe it's time I replay it.
@@TectonicImprov Planets adds lots of things from rom hacks such as map functions, beam combination, respawning with full health (if I remember correctly). Best thing is that it maintains the retro look of it, with just a few additional sprite animations.
Hey. I would love to play this game. Is there a rom I can download for it. Or is there something else I need to do to get is on my pc. Please let me know.
Zelda 2 is one of my all time favs!
Thanks bro, now I need to play Zelda 2 again.
A real modern remake of Zelda 2 is potentially the greatest metroidvania of all time
I appreciate someone who appreciates Zelda 2 for what it provides.
Difficulty and quality are two different things - Kid Icarus sucks bc of the quality to difficulty ratio, Metroid is awesome bc the quality justifies the difficulty
I adore Zelda II, and always have. Hmm, you know instead of losing only some experience on death, what about this? The story here is Ganon's minions want to kill Link and use his blood to resurrect Ganon in a ritual. Alright, so how about when Link dies, he leaves a blood stain behind, and all you need to do is get back to it and you get your experience lost back? I think I saw that in another game at some point... it was probably Punch Out.
Dude it hit you that Zelda 2 is awesome bc TotK is the same story! BotW is the OG legend of Zelda. Think about it you have to see the old man before you can explore the open world, and then Link and Zelda take out Ganondorf. And in the Adventures of link he has the triforce appear on his hand that lets him open stuff just like in TotK. Not to mention that he reunites the triforce to break the “sleeping” curse on Zelda. Kinda like how Link, Rauru, and Sonia come together at the end of TotK to awaken Zelda from her sleep and turn her back to a Hylian. I heard this theory somewhere else, but it makes sense. If true it would make A Link to the Past a prequel to TotK. The story of that game is exactly what they describe in the distant flashbacks in TotK. It’s gonna be a prequel to BotW/Legend of Zelda
This remake is quite impressive, specially for what it DIDN'T change, when doing something to "fix" a game people can be tempted to just change several core elements of it and make basically a different game altogether, so kudos for that
Unfortunately its not for me, the elements I dislike about Zelda II are nor fixed by this remake and I dont find Zelda II a very fun game to play at all, I only played it for the sense of completion and when doing it like this, playing this remake with all the QoL changes and extra content gives me the "you didn't finished the game" vibes, definitely an amazing option for people who already like Zelda II and wants to play an extended version of it, but I dont think it fixes the game for anyone who could never get into it in the first place
Speaking as a die hard OG Zelda 2 fan, I think the problem was not so much absolute difficulty... as the difficulty *curve* being poorly thought out. Death Mountain is this huge speedbump to progression that happens entirely too early in the game. The Dairas in particular would have been a lot more manageable if that section came after downstab.
I always knew i was playing it wrong, for some reason after starting a new game, i went straight to the palace on the north east, i guess i just enjoyed the palace theme that much. 😅
How does it handle the infamous hidden pits? Honestly that was what through me off of the game back in the day. I could never get it right as to where they were exactly.
Smash should serve as a prime example why a modern sidescroller Zelda game could totally work.
still got a knife in that version too, don't know one knows a Sword is longer then that?
Whst are those games showcased in the introduction that are Zelda like this one?
Stumbled upon this after looking up Skellux Minus Worlds for Zelda 1, then led to HoverBat... So thanks TectonicImprov.
I grew up on these games, this was a classic was was very under rated
Zelda 2 - way too hard for me when I was a kid... now that I'm grown up... still too hard.
Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage is a pretty good Zelda II clone.
I see that you didn't have Battle of Olympus in your compilation of Zelda 2 clones, just wanted to recommend it in case you haven't tried it. Almost looks identical.
this looks awesome!!! I know next to nothing about "non traditional (read; non console) gaming"- does this work with ROM players/emulators??
It's running as a dedicated program so it doesn't require an emulator to play. Should be as simple as following the link in the description and opening the file.
finally I found someone that doesnt just hate on zelda 2
Zelda II is an amazing platform adventure game.
What was that Zelda 2 Homage you pointed out in the beginning of the video you're saying is coming out in the future?
Sheep Lad, it's in the description
@@TectonicImprov thanks, I missed it!
The Zelda 2 Game Over Screen still scared me a little 😂.
As a 45yo manchild, I smash the f**k out of Zelda 2 at least 3 or 4 times a year, usually in one sitting and often without continues.
I'm always apprehensive about playing on anything other than original hardware, with the exceptions of my trusty Everdrives, but this looks awesome and I definitely want to play it.
I'd really really love to have my nightmares come true (literally, recurring nightmares since I was 8yo about a hellish and scary hack) with someone making a hack of MTPO!!! with totally new characters and/or "new character behavior," a la a Don Flamenco 3 and a Soda Popinski 2...
zelda 2 is absolutely my shizz im always looking for a rom hack of zelda 2 like aganims curse and ocarina of time. its literally the zelda nintendo wanted to make and everything following has taken something from 2 even ocarina of time is a 3d version of 2. people hate on zelda 2 because of the gameplay diference but back then a sequel was not guarantied to be the same thing as the first but better back then there was experimentation and it was honestly more innovative than todays market. i liked it because 1 i played it enough to figure out how it worked and 2 all my friends were always lost never and never beat it. its not a hard game at all at allllll but like any other nes games moving link is like moving a piece of construction paper across sand paper the pixels really screw you over and you dont go as far as you think you should.
i really appreciate old games, they didnt hold your hand and made you figure it out. now everything is "follow this arrow, you got it, dont need to read just follow the next arrow bullseye YOU WIN". gaming has become a fun pass time to turning into a spoonfed movie. no reason to talk me to death or slow me down im here to play a game not watch half a movie and be told move from point A to point B new cutscene congratulations you did it you fat slob you pressed forward on the stick here is your reward, now go to point C....... i miss games that had stuff for you to unlock if you were good enough to unlock it, i miss 2d dark souls games since thats the only thing people can equate hard games to, where are the contras or the super mario worlds? ill tell you they are praised for being the best thing in their time and still being praised today, but they are outdated who would play a genuinely good game if the graphics arent 4k 144hz? graphics do not make the game the story and gameplay make and break the game. im very passionate about this topic i could write a book on how i look at games and the difference between how newer generations look at those same games. my brother doesnt see what i see in pixel art and polygons, i dont see what he does in all the cookie cutter fps games but thats all gravy. i personally feel games from 80s to 90s were made by people who cared about their customers nowadays its how much of a game can we get a way with cutting so we can sell as dlc. im not for that practice. i appreciate a full game on release like ps2 games. no need for dlc (unless you played mgs3 and HAD to have that ass camo) everything was there for you to figure out an unlock. no patches you found a gamebreaking glitch GOOD FOR YOU youre god no patches to stop you from what you wanted to do
how do i update the game without loosing my save file? the game is being updated by hoverbat reguraly
There are 2 kinds of people in this world.
Those who love Zelda II, and those who are wrong.
My absolute favorite game on NES!
I just want the health bar to be hearts and the magic bar be green. Everything else is amazing.
