    One thing I'll note about the sounds, this might come up in later episodes if you do these again.
    Basically the Famicom has access to sound options that the NES doesn't. If you look at cartridges for NES games, you'll notice there's no pins in the middle of the connector, while Famicom cartridges do. These pins, in the Famicom, would link to a chip that allows for more sound layers if the game itself had a special chip for extra sound channels.
    The Famicom Disk System has some extra sound channels built-in, so Zelda 2 takes advantage of it (as did several others like Castlvania 2, Zelda 1 and some more). Castlevania 3 had a special chip which allowed for 3 more sound channels, and Megami Tensei II (amongst others) had a chip that allowed 4 to 8 more sound channels.

      @pichumario8bits568 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Also there's more expansion chips for the Famicom, like Sunsoft's 5B for Gimmick!, Konami's VRC7 which added 6 FM channels for Lagrange Point, that makes the Famicom sound like a Sega Genesis(MegaDrive), and Nintendo's MMC5 which added 2 pulse channels.
      Saddly, the American and European NES didn't have support for these kinds of expansions, like the FDS.

    I'm glad the overseas version got the changes it did, there's little the Japanese version has over it. The animated water/lava is nice, and the Japanese battle theme is kinda cool (still prefer the overseas one), but everything else was just refined in the overseas release, which makes sense considering it released a year or two later. It's not like today when games often release around the same time internationally.
    The differences in sound effects mentioned ("goopy" noises, chat sounds, barrier being dispelled, etc.) are because the Famicom Disk System had some extra sound channels that the regular NES did not. That's why they don't cut parts of the music like overseas release.

      @@Superstar5_ I can see it's problems, and it's also a victim of the Classic Nintendo trope of a sequel having almost completely different core gameplay to the original. Between 1 and 2, I'd say 2 is much more of a pain to try to play through blind, and therefore for anyone who tries it I would tell people to feel no shame for following a guide.
      That said, the combat is actually pretty fun, though hard, the map is at least twice as big as Zelda 1, and across the board they committed to many ambitious decisions that I respect them going for. I understand why it has its reputation as the black sheep Zelda game, but I too hate it when it's simply dismissed as "bad".

    Slapped that sub button fast. This should be a great series of vids. This one was very interesting. Well produced videos.
