Grew up in the 80s. Zelda was my favorite even watched the cartoon on Fridays. I know its hated by so many. But links adventure was great in my memory. Probably my favorite nes if not of all zelda games. The music is epic.
I'm 37 I've been playing Zelda since I was 6. This my fav Zelda game of all time and twilight princess. My dad started to play this game not long after it came out and I had quite the break from it lol, I seen my dad call of work for over a week and yell at Nintendo hotline because he couldn't find the hidden village. This is a true story. This just brought me back to that thank you. Rip Jerry Rill.... I love you Dad
Lol I remember sucking and not getting video games enough at the age of like... Also 6? Some where around there. HATED this game. Managed to somehow get to the final palace but wasn't allowed in because APPARENTLY! I GOTTA CHOP A TREE DOWN WITH A HAMMER! LIKE WTF IS THAT???!?!?!? Then you also gotta cast a spell called SPELL or whatever at a certain part of a town to progress in the game. The cryptic bs was toooooo much lolz. But yeah going back as a adult who knows just about every lil detail of the game, I love it now lol what a epic side scroller experience. My only crit is that some areas felt soooo samey that it was easy to get lost in some of the dungeons. A problem with like... ALL NES games haha. My fav is fighting the knights. At first it was a frustrating massive pain in the azz lol but once you learn about crouch jumping and striking them in their mid section, all of the sudden you feel powerful and challenged to execute that perfect mid strike every time and it feels super satisfying to pull off and get better and better at it. This is kind of the most hated zelda but I dunno haha. After giving it a level headed chance with a adult brain lulz, it's pretty sick actually.
Thank you very much 😊! If you want to hear a professionally recorded version this song is on my album: laurencemanning1.bandcamp.com/album/game-music-piano-album
youtubes AI is amazing and frightenting. I was humming the castle theme yesterday at work, with no electronics except a turned off phone..... and now this shows up in my reccomendations. o_O
I was terrible at playing this game as a kid. I died a lot. Made it to the final boss fight but I couldn't beat him. I heard it was a hard game to beat though so I don't feel to terrible lol. But I always loved the music. It's probably the only reason I stuck with the game and you played the music very well. :-)
@J G thanks. I was talking about Shadow Link. And yeah as a kid I didn't think to do that. I watched a TH-cam video of someone beating him and was kicking myself at how easy it was lol. If I ever get a Nintendo again I will give it another shot. :-D
The Zelda 2 title theme is my second favorite Zelda song ever, but the rest of this game had plenty of gems too. Your channel deserves a lot more attention than it gets. If you ever do a Majora's Mask medley, please include the Deku Palace.
Thank you for this absolutely legendary medley, it was beyond beautiful! When you played the flute melody at 2:12, I got a bit teary-eyed. I say that as a 27 year old man. Only the truest Zelda fans know those seven lovely notes
@@LaurenceManningPianiste You're very much welcome!! 😁 Thank you for posting that link, I didn't know you have Bandcamp page; I listened to the LoZ 2 track (along with some others!), you really bring out the best of these pieces! Valse di Fantastica is one of my favorite more modern tracks, so that was amazing to hear too! I'm gonna have to be making some purchases today hehe 😊 Thank you again, and I appreciate your reply! Keep up the beautiful renditions!! ✨
Thank you for highlighting the (deservedly so or not is entirely up for debate) black sheep of the Zelda family, and giving it some wonderful attention. It’s so nice to hear these tunes on a proper, real-world instrument. Beautifully done.
You made me tear up after hearing these beautiful scores played like this! This is partially because Zelda 2 has always been my favorite, and love the music. Thank you for learning to play this so well!
What a great job on the covers! Zelda II is one of my childhood favorites and I go back and beat it about once per year. Hoping for a faithful remaster of the game someday.
You ought to consider cosplaying as Zelda. You're a dead ringer for her IMHO. And playing the music from this series of games AS Zelda would be absolutely EPIC!
Thank you very much!! Actually, I'm considering to do it for real. I already cosplayed Zelda a long time ago but this time I would like to get a better costume. It can be expansive to get a beautiful cosplay so I'm doing some researches :).
This is the only Zelda game as far as I'm concerned. Did anyone else pick up the flute sound affect, and the item pickup sound affect between songs? Excellent!
Oh. My. GOD!!! First 5 seconds I'm commenting lol! You did the original dragon warrior beautifully, and this is just as good!!! Can you please do castlevania's Wood Carved Partitia?
zyxwfish Thank you very much 😊!! This song is also on my album (recorded professionally) if you want to listen: laurencemanning1.bandcamp.com/album/game-music-piano-album
Jaron Davis Thank you so much 😃❤️!! This song is also available in high quality on my new album: laurencemanning1.bandcamp.com/album/game-music-piano-album

Congratulations for your skills with the piano, you must have worked very hard, and BIG THANKS for the marvelous interpretation of the beautiful Zelda 2 soundtrack, which I find one of the best master pieces in video game world. Lots of love to you and keep up the good work. 💚🧚🏻♀️🔺
My favorite and most nostalgic Zelda game.. The fact it's generally the most overlooked and underrated gives it a charm that makes me like it that much more.. Great performance by the way. You should do more classic video game tracks =)
Oh boy, way to put me on the spot lol.. - Legacy of the Wizard (NES) This one's a bit obscure, but is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time and that's saying a lot.. Since you're a fan of Zelda 2 I know this soundtrack will amaze you, promise. Just give it a listen, you'll be glad you did. Every track is gold so difficult to choose one, but probably "All Together Now". Some other favorites: - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1) "Lost Painting" - Chrono Trigger (SNES) "Corridors of Time" - Final Fantasy 7 (PS1) "Chasing the Black-Caped Man"
Omnitrash wow you don’t hear that to often!! I’ve loved Legacy of the Wizard since I finished it as a teen in the 80’s! Fantastic gameplay and soundtrack!!
I wound up here again, 5 years later. Still just as amazing as the first time I experienced it. Wonderful video.
Thank you so much ☺️

Very good ! Zelda 2 was always my fav.
2:16 here it is!
A shy meow from Switzerland from a veteran NES Tetrician and Zeldafan and Mariofan. :) Your medley was purrfect!
Thank you 😊!
Wow merci pour ce medley! Du moment où on y insére la cassette jusqu'à x années plus tard où on prend possession de la triforce!
Merci beaucoup ☺️!
It sound so beautyful played on piano. Nintendo should ask you tu work with them if they only want to make a remake.
Thank you so much 😍
Awesome vid. Zelda 2 is such an underrated game.
I honestly think the Zelda II soundtrack might be the most underrated soundtrack in gaming. It's really good, and this medley makes it even better.
Thank you very much 😊! If you want to hear a professionally recorded version this song is on my album: laurencemanning1.bandcamp.com/album/game-music-piano-album
Nice work. You're making me rediscover why I liked the Zelda II OST when it was new. I always thought it had an eclectically classical sound.
3:22 that switch is my favorite part of the video
This score is one of my very favorites that I've had with me since I was a child, hearing it on piano brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊
The best video game music
Same here
youtubes AI is amazing and frightenting.
I was humming the castle theme yesterday at work, with no electronics except a turned off phone..... and now this shows up in my reccomendations. o_O
The over world theme in Link Adventure its a master piece
Fernando Bezerra Mendonça I agree 😊🎶
@@LaurenceManningPianiste im agree with your agree and se agree each other, this is call round in circles 😁

wow je capote ca me rappelle quand javais 10 ans bravissimo
Merci beaucoup 😊!
I wonder if Nintendo ever thought that they were creating a music MASTERPIECE. This, Castlevania etc are music classics.

Incredible attention to tempo. Good work!
Brian Davis Thank you very much 😊!
Gonna say it: Zelda 1 opening is more icon, but I like Zelda 2 opening better. Commence with the trolls. Thank you for sharing. Lovely rendition.
Thank you 😊!
beautiful video and underrated
I love sound.
Oh! J'aime tellement ce thème! Le premier jeu Zelda que j'ai joué! Chaque fois que l'entends je suis pris de nostalgie!

Man the algorithm knows how to bring something up after more than 3 years. Really nice work, you're hitting the notes just perfectly. :)
Thank you very much 😊!!
Who would say that Sam from iCarly knew how to play the piano 🤔
A lot of people told me the same thing, haha! But I never watched iCarly! xD
Holy crud i can see the resemblance. 🤣❤
Hahaha true!
I was thinking she looked like Sam 😂 very cool video..Zelda is the best game ever
Lol from the side I can't tell the difference that's amazing!
My favorite Zelda game played with such delicate notes. Simply Love it
Thank you very much 😊
BEEN PLAYING ALOT OF THIS GAME LATELY!!!!
LOVE THIS!!!!!!!
🤗
Thank you 😊!!
Aawww man...this sounds incredible
Thank you 😊!
@@LaurenceManningPianiste 😉 🎼

Thank you 😃!!
My favorite Zelda game, thx for the music you are really good.
Thank you very much 😊!!
Best nintendo game ever! This is the sound of my childhood!

Bonne année 2020, bonne santé , mes meilleurs voeux
Merci, à vous aussi 😊
How old were you when you played this game/ Wow. I was a kid when I Played this in like 1990. Great stuff
I was very young first but I play it again older, this is great game 😊!!
Hey I came back for more. Simply love it ❤️🕹✅
Thank you very much 😊
that palace theme tho!!
The segue into the epic dungeon theme, man that was great.
The Golden Magikarp Thank you 😃
I got chills from this. I think I liked the music more than the game when I was a kid. Some of the best music ever written was Nintendo music.

Thank you, and good luck finishing the game :)

Everytime I think of Adventure of Link, I hear this video in my head
🥰

Oh boy, way to put me on the spot lol..

Since you're a fan of Zelda 2 I know this soundtrack will amaze you, promise. Just give it a listen, you'll be glad you did. Every track is gold so difficult to choose one, but probably "All Together Now".
Some other favorites:
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1) "Lost Painting"
- Chrono Trigger (SNES) "Corridors of Time"
- Final Fantasy 7 (PS1) "Chasing the Black-Caped Man"
Thank you very much for these suggestions, I'll take a look on them :)!
You should also trying Earthbound Beginnings/Mother 1 intro theme. It's the a challenging NES game but I honestly prefer it over Earthbound/Mother 2
Omnitrash wow you don’t hear that to often!! I’ve loved Legacy of the Wizard since I finished it as a teen in the 80’s! Fantastic gameplay and soundtrack!!
This is incredible! I especially like the palace theme!
Thank you very much! If you want to hear a better version I recorded it professionally for my first album 😊
Oh, those nights playing Zelda II with my cousin in 1994, those were THE times. Congratulations, you are a super piano player ;)
Bruno Rocca Thank you very much for this kind comment :)!!
