- In this episode, the Nerd picks up his sword and shield to go on an adventure into Hyrule. We'll see the Nerd give his honest opinion on Zelda 2. Originally released in Japan in 1987 on the Family Computer Disk System and 1988 on the Nintendo Entertainment System in both America and Europe, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link was the first and only official side scrolling Zelda game in the series. Going on to become known as one of the worst, if not the worst Zelda games amongst fans due to its radical change and difficulty from the previous Zelda game. Zelda 2 was one of the first most highly anticipated games back in the NES days, along with the likes of Super Mario Bros 3. This is Angry Video Game Nerd episode 93

As a young child, I watched my mom beat this game. I loved every moment of it.
Your mom must've been cool
@@whatsthisaboveme6064 Yeah she's definitely awesome.
Wish my mom would play games at least she wouldve know that an online game cannot be stopped
what a lovely memory to have. kudos to your mum
My mom loved to play Dr Mario, i got to see the ending because i never got there :D
Its crazy to think he made all these before ads on TH-cam.
IKR
c man that's what we call passion.
That's what you call loss of income.
c man Hell, he made a fair amount of episodes before TH-cam existed
He made money from his site tho.
I just turned 33 and decided it was time to finally beat Zelda 2. One of the hardest games I've ever played but now I can proudly say I've finished every mainline Zelda game.
I beat it back in the day but only with the help of the game genie.
@@thomasfrazer8934 You didn't beat the game; you just saw the ending.
That’s like 19 games. Grats.
You want a true challenge? Then play Hagane (Japanese version with only 7 continues, not the easy western version with unlimited continues), and Magician lord (arcade version).
Both games are ridiculously difficult, especially hagane with only 7 continues.
Try Lemmings on NES with no codes. I beat it once as a kid and have never looked back, it was so infuriating. Battletoads was child's play compared to it.
Beating the game by accident at the end was genius. I love coming back to see your old content nerd, there's nothing quite as good on the internet!
I have seen the Nerds catalog at least 15-20 times in completion in the last decade. It's comfort food for my soul.
I wonder if it's a deliberate callback to the time he managed to land in Top Gun with the Power Glove.
Two hours later, at an arcade/video game museum:

@@Vespyr_ Me too.
Anybody else who misses these days, when the game manuals where as awesome as the games??
There were so many shittygames back in the day. I realize the limitations but jesus games were often bad.even the ps2 generation is starting to get repetitive.
No
sure but we now have entire wikis and theyre vastly superior
I would never have figured my way around blaster master, hadn't it been for the manual. The best thing in a pre-internet world.
The manual was always a work of art.
Imagine Link having a kid. He'd hoist him up like Simba

@@johnnyboi7754 HYAH?
"I am Error" is actually not a legitimate error. It's actually more like a joke; There's a guy you find later in the game named Bagu, which is Japanese for bug. So, Bug and Error.
Also, I know a lot of people already said this, but the temple is not in the shape of a swastika, it's in the shape of a completely different symbol called the Manji. a symbol of peace which the Nazi's ripped off.
The thing in the game is a swastika. The thing the Nazis used is not a swastika but a version which is mirrored and turned by 45 degrees.
@@FrostedAvowals They also likely didn't consider the symbol in a western context too closely. In Japan, and the East they have their own "big bads". Western Culture obviously villifies the nazis more than anyone else. In The East most people don't make that association because the Nazis weren't their problem lol
@@BoydTheMilkmanX Hey, Boyd. You seem to have some degree of knowledge about this. Do you know what symbol or group that would evoke similar feelings as when we Westerners see swastikas and Nazis?

When I was 5, I remember my mom taking me to Kmart to buy this game. Arguably the single best day of my childhood.
RIP most Kmart stores. F

What year was it?
@@Takinthehobbitstoisengard It was 1988, a very magical time
I’m 40...I hope I’m going to finish Zelda 2 this year
good luck and keep up the motivation! I played and finished it back when I was 8 but no matter how often I tried it nowadays, never beat it again. I guess I'm lacking the patience and time I had as a child (also we didn't have that many games to choose back then and stick with what we had. Now we get tired to easily)
Me too. I can get up to the last level but can't get to the boss.
Got far on my phone nes. On
the NES classic I'm stuck. I beat many Zelda's and the legend of Zelda but the adventures of link is hard.
Guys it really isn't that hard...
@@Westile It is when you're a kid and can't figure out how to get that final key. :P
My dad loved this game. RIP dad
Hope you're doing well, David...sure your pops was a great guy ❤.

Yo, same. My father past away when I was 10. I loved watching him play this game and other NES games as a kid. RIP.
I love how the ending is also a "This is how you beat Dark Link" explanation
Meanwhile, this Dark Link is a pushover you can cheese by crouching in the bottom left and spam your sword

I love how the power glove transmits such a random cacophony of controller input that Dark Link's programming couldn't cope.
RIP Star Wars poster.
I know, right? I bet those things are hard to come by nowadays.
My dad has a lot of those posters signed but does it make it even harder to find
Yeah Ripped Intensively Paper. Literally RIPPED the poster.
Yeah, good on James for staying in character.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I don't wanna do that to MY posters.

But Proto!!!
who is rewatching this in 2020 December
@@antonyproduction-1 no one. you're the only view this video has in december 2020
He beat Zelda 2 and Top Gun with the Power Glove.
Maybe it's not so "bad" after all.
Mitzos SirReal I bet he did, you jealous!
-oh its bad.. its so bad-
In the power glove episode, one of the only things he could consistently do in Zelda 2 was crouch. Just turns out that's all you need for the Dark Link fight.
Mitzos SirReal and I doubt james beat it I think mike probably did it for him tbh
Yeah, cause James had the Glove moving around. Mike was prob somewhere off screen.
I always thought of the 'like like' as a stack of pancakes
mike spence i thought of them as life saver gummies stacekd on eachother
mike spence I prefer calling it lasagna. Perhaps they made "like like" when they were hungry or while eating...

AL BUNDY yeah me too
"If you're going to cheat, you might as well be a fairy while you're at it"
words to live by
Too bad it didn't have a spell to turn the fairy back into Link to break the blocks like the invisible pit in Palace 6. it's like no problem, I'll turn into a fairy to breeze past the hidden pit until *BUZZER* you run into that stack of breakable blocks, so you cannot continue forward. you have to go all the way back and try to get past the pit without the fairy so you can break the blocks at the end of the section.
@@chrisbailey7384 even worse in the randomizer because you can't be sure what you will run into
This was the video that introduced me the the nerd. All because I got stuck on death mountain and looked up this game for help and this came up. My life changed for the better.
Who else is watching this for the 1,536th time in 2019?

Maybe..ok yes
Me too
Over and over and over again.
I'm here again!
10:40 Imagine "Hey Link, do you know where I have parked my car?" xD
hey link do you know where to find my house
Hey link do you know where you are
Hey link have you seen the alternate universe? Oh thanks you can put that down now.
(On a cloudy day)
"Man, Link. Where'd the sun go?"
"what's that, a geiger councilmen? no, its a rock"
i don't know why that made me laugh so hard
MetalBlade nice mastodon pic 👍🏻
who/what is geiger councilmen
it's so weird to find a avgn episode where he's so calm.
That's what happens when he reviews a game that actually isn't bad.
he actually seems to enjoy this game just gets frustrated at the same hard parts we all do
Agree
Yes its really hard game, trial and error, memorize everything, plays for countless time over and over. But thats what make NES memorable, right? The best moment and feeling when you beat the game after such dedication and hardwork
10:30 I love how he hoists Marin over his head in Link’s Awakening.
Is this your big chance?
@@lisvender W...what?

Pretty creepy when you overthink it...
4:55 now i get how death battle get the idea

I hope that it’s better than Zelda vs peach death battle
This is the only Link to save two Zeldas. The Zelda in Zelda 2 has been asleep for at least a century.

There's a trick to leveling up MUCH easier. Once you reach enough XP to level something up, skip it. Skip the second and the third. Then it won't level you up until you reach massive points. Beat a boss, then put the gem in the altar. It always gives you enough XP to reach your next possible level, so you can get thousands of XP, and level up a lot of things all at once. Game gets MUCH easier then.
Yea, good luck surviving with any XP at all. Every time I'm close to a level up at all, I die and lose it all.
Id say that you always buy up your exp BEFORE the boss, unless you count the boss money which is around 500, then when bought up all your exp, place the crystal and get all the exp you need for the next level. try to make it a sword level since they are the most expensive ones in the beginning.
@@Chad_Eldridge or you could git gud.
GREENWOLF 1337 game genie didn’t work with this game when it came out...
Casually beats the final boss with the power glove while looking away from the screen.
Just a normal Thursday
Yes, that's what happens.
I love the power glove.... It's so bad!
Without even realizing it until the end.
The look of sheer "what in the shitfuck?! how!??!?" made me laugh for like an hour
"A Geiger...Councilman?"
Ha you REALLY didn't get it at all.
« Oh. A Rock. »
@@DarylOrgan the point is the names are stupid so he says a random name because it's better than saying a rock.
It's probably a Gygar Councilman, to be exact. Gygar is an NES game where you explore mountains and caves and whatnot, so naturally, there would be rocks.
He mentions the game once in the Jekyll and Hyde Re-Revisited episode.
+Tollero Rygar
that's all.
I can't fucking believe I beat that game without reading Nintendo Power. I was smarter as a kid then I am now.

Fun fact: The "I am Error" guy really IS named Error. His name was a pun in Japanese that was lost in translation; much like another character named Bagu (His name was meant to be Bug, as in a computer bug and error). ^u^
if his name was a pun lost in translation then his name isn't suppose to be error
EvanPlayzGames
I know, I realize I badly worded my comment. >_< What I meant to say was that Error and Bagu are named after programming errors, but the way the English version translated Error's sentence as "I am Error" confused people into thinking his dialogue itself was an error. (God I'm bad at explaining myself. >_
totofze47 ahh okay it's fine
totofze47
Assuming you haven't edited it, your comment is plenty clear.
I think the broken English is probably what confused people. "I am Error" sounds exactly like what some programmer would quickly put in to debug the game, as opposed to a final draft of professional writing. (at least... what counts as professional writing for 80s video games)
2024? Anyone watching this
No
Lying.
🎉
Yee
🎉
The "I am Error" bit was a joke developed by the creators. In one of the other towns you meet a guy who says "I am Bagu," which is Engrish for bug.
I am Unhandled Exception.

godsadog ENGLISH! DO YOU SPEAK IT?

+AGiLE-EaGLE1994 I am no keyboard detected press F3 to continue
Fun fact: Error is actually his real name. Bagu, on the other hand, is a misspelling. Bagu's name was originally Bug. They were supposed to be Error and Bug, the corruption duo.
13:22 Is one of the best avgn moments.
Danny Anderson It is.
Agreed lol
Did it hurt anybody else when he ripped the Star Wars poster? I dont think that was intentional T.T lol
I’ve been eating to say this since back then but the music in this game is always pumping. The palace themes has to be my favorite part about the game. Other than the game itself
5:37 That pretty much defines Zelda II. It's a great game, like almost every Zelda title, but man it is hard to beat.
It puts Dark Souls to shame
with respect, I completely disagree, especially the clip at 5:37 you're referencing here; its only difficult if you don't understand the game. In the sequence shown, the character is under-powered for that moment in the game, and he also doesn't use the spells and buffs available.
people just didn't "get" that this game is an rpg. they tend to not raise their levels optimally, and forget to use spells like extra jump or shield to make the combat/navigation easier.
sure, the game can be hard if you don't know what you're doing or if you don't bother to learn the game.
but its by no means a "difficult" game, especially by NES standards.
@@adamellis8829 The Adventure of Link is definitely a difficult NES game, as it requires very fast reflexes. But it's not one of the most, or _the_ most difficult NES game as others are saying.

First landing the plane in Top Gun,
and now beating Dark Link!
Who knows, it may eventually beat the final boss of Ninja Gaiden.
Bubblegum Panda Noup.
The power glove beats hard stuff, don't does miracles.
Dash Kagamine don't does^^
Error actually is there to guide you to the entrance of a hidden location. You are told to go to speak to him later in the game and that is when Error tells you the tip. I has long been mistaken that all he said was "I am Error" but he has more dialogue.
How to beat Dark Link:
Step 1: Camp
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
Well that's how the speedrunners do it!
Not in the Japanese version!
step 2: attack continuosly
step 3: ending
Step 1:Camp in corner attacking endlessly
Step 2:Realize you're the worlds biggest Pussy when he Dark Link dies
Step 3:Profit

I remember a weekend playing this all through the night with my cousins. Wed take turns and watch. So if someone got stuck, another would be able to go through. Ya its hard as shit but you dont realize it then. Its just cool going through the pain with your friends and the elation when you get it done. I wish I had the patience now. Or rather, all my cousins able to go through 48 hour binges to do this stuff. Thanks for the memories Nintendo.
Online gaming killed that :(
Damn you online gaming!

same with Marvel Vs Capcom 2
+ShadowBOOM and TailsBOOM Mortal Kombat does that to me.

He landed the plane in top gun with it too, which he couldn't do with a controller. I guess the power glove is good luck!
+Dapro456 Sometimes....
+Dapro456 that's easy with a controller just have to be 200 and 300 on your altitude speed.
James Dee Well that certainly sounded more inappropriate than it needed to......
8:05 I checked. His name actually really is Error. Its some kind of joke, but its hard to tell. They incorrectly translated his friend Bagu's name. It should be "Bug". As in, Error and Bug. I didnt say it was a *good* joke, just that it was what would technically be called a joke.
etherraichu *insert shitty comment that sarcastically says that you must be fun at parties*
Lawl jk
RPGtourguide Well its only confusing because Bagu is Japanese for bug. Otherwise I think people would have got it long ago.
etherraichu My guess is, since in Japanese L and R are the same, dude's name is supposed to be Errol.
etherraichu He was named error because then you can remember him clearly. If I remember correctly you had to go back to him. That is why he has that name.
Martijn van Zanen I like your thinking but no - surely "Sunny" is better - i am sunny - i sure they just wanted to be clever and thought error being a video was smart
I can re watch these videos forever. Thank you for all your hard work over the years, James.
That fartversion of the Zelda theme is legendary
Well, it originated in the 3rd CDI video.
The fact that it actually WAS a sidescroller and had real RPG elements + the actual more realistic and "adult" graphics still makes it my favourite Zelda of all time. It was hard, yes, but not thaaat hard.. like Ninja Gaiden.
Ninja Gaiden was hell!
adult graphics...? what the fuck
ColdRamen how tf do you do adult graphics on a nes
I've beaten every Zelda game, Zelda II is my favorite. :) @@TheEvilWithinFan
It doesn't hold your hand like every Zelda game that came after.
It's hard, but it's the good kind of difficulty where it's your fault if you die. It kicks your ass, and it picks you back up for another round until you're finally able to turn the tables.
7:25 when your dad mocks u for laughing at him
I had a friend in middle school who watched these episode with me every day on the bus ride home
Haven't seen him since I started highschool 3 years ago, hope he's doing alright
What was it with the NES. It always made sequels in a different style to the original. Between this, Super Mario Bros. 2 and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
And Street Fighter
I forgot the strangest sequel of all: Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight.
not a sequal, just dubbed title...
Peter Williams But i understand what you mean.Sega wouldn't do that...right? *looks at Alex Kidd in High Tech World*

A Man With Opinions what a life...
I remember playing this game as a kid when it came out and not finding it weird. I absolutely loved it.
Depending on when you were a kid matters. It wasn’t weird when there were only like 1 or 2 other Zelda games to compare it to.
I love this guy! He is absolutely hilarious and is able to express himself exactly the way I felt as a kid when playing these games!
I love this guy! He is absolutely hilarious and is able to express himself exactly the way I felt as a guy when watching these videos!
😂
Actually the "I am Error" thing is important. One of the town an NPC say that: "Ask Error of Ruto about the palace". Then Error talks about the tunnel in the graveyard.
And i killed the wizard boss with fire spell xD
also where an interesting band got their name xD
Error's name is actually part of a kind of programming in-joke. There's another character who you need to speak with early on in the game named Bagu, which is Japanese for "bug."
It's a theory from wikipedia. Bagu explains that it's his name: "Bagu is my name." It can't casue any misunderstanding that could be a joke as it happend with Error.
all this talk of iamerror just makes me wish they wer still a thing...
fun fact, tho it may be a bit irrelivant.
did you guys know the guitarist of iamerror, is the same as the one from chaos con queso?! 0-0 i lost it when i found that out.
sadly those are the only two bands i know of that he graces with his colorful shred.
Zelda 2 was ahead of its time. a true challenge.
I definitely don’t think Zelda 2 is a bad game, specially when you consider the limitations of the NES. I completely understand why it’s one of the more contentious titles in the series though.
I love the look on the nerd's face at the end.
"I misjudged you powerglove"
It’s the end of 2019 and these eps are still as good as ever.
Brace yourself, the next 3+ years are no fun at all
“Hey link have you seen the remote for the tv?”
Duh nu nu nuh!
“Oh cool you found it!... okay yeah, you can put that down”
Love this one, the hack roms are great too. They managed to fix some frustrating issues like going way back to the start from the palaces, new levels and graphics and so on. You just gotta love the Nintendo fan base really, people are freaking amazing
Yep rom hacks by fans fix a ton of old Nes and other console games, or at least made old Nes games etc. be a finished polished product of stuff we should have got
I love Zelda II. One of my favorite games of all time.
I agree and for folks who grew up with Mario we like the side scrolling stuff.
This game is severely underrated. It's one of my most played, for it's difficulty and challenge it poses. And I believe, if polished, the experience and level system has a lot of potential, this feature should have stayed in the series.
@KillerDragon to me, save for Wand of Gamelon and The Faces of Evil, there's no bad Zelda game, just some better than others.
This and a link to the past is my favs.
Probably my favorite game when I was growing up. I managed to beat this at 8. Still have fond memories. Beat it again a few years ago and it was still a blast.
im glad he didnt yell at this one (yet im only at 5:19) the reason why i liked this game is because my family was poor, so my mom and dad bought an NES for my 12 b-day and bought this game because the they liked the name "Link". i loved this game so much i easily clocked in 600 hours in it (i still play the same cartrage to this day (although it barly works, so i bought a new one))
Just clean the cartridge? :) Then it'll probably be like new.
Holy sh*t 600 hours? how do you even calculate that?
play 2 hours everyday and in less then a year boom you got it
+Evig Lycka Pfft, I have over 2200 on Oblivion. That game destroyed my life for months.
+Sam Geuvenen is that a bad thing tho? you got your moneys worth
9:23 maybe you should ask "I Am Error" about that lmao
🎶 I am going, going through the floor,
Through the floor, Through the floor! 🎶
It took 3 of us, playing in shifts, all day everyday, to beat this. I remember there being two distinct halves to this game:. Before you get the hammer on death mountain, and after you get the hammer.
"How are you supposed to know that?" Every single time he asked that question the answer is, "Talk to the townsfolk." They tell you *all* of that shit. Not the useless bitches walking around. Only a few of them actually help. The people in their houses are pretty much always informative, though. It may not be step-by-step instructions like today's hand-holding games, but it'll be something like "Go to this specific place to find a secret" and you'll at least know you have to do something there. Given limited options, it shouldn't take too long to figure any of them out. This game is only hard because it actually required critical thinking, rather than just hack and slash and follow directions.
+Sadpants McGee Dude, it's a joke, don't take it too seriously.
+Sadpants McGee Based on the fact that most people don't tell you anything, how are you supposed to guess that people inside houses actually tell you important stuff?
you sound like a pleasant person to be around.
Sadpants McGee I can assure you that I am.
+Sadpants McGee i got stuck at some point about using the hammer on a patch of trees.
i ALWAYS talk to ALL towsfolk but I got stuck at that point for too long it's not even worth the stress so I googled it. Maybe I missed that one person that pointed it out but if so, sucks for me.
EVEN SO, why the fuck would I hammer a tree?
Fuckin' Zelda 2... I can't even get past the first temple, because the last fuckin' thing I want to do in a Zelda game is grind.

BTW the swastika is a sign of piece meaning good fortune. It is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism.
It's a manji
give me the piece of final death and i'll give you the gift of eternal life
That's why the Nazis used it, it was a good luck symbol.
@@Shoe3003 Wrong game, but I get you. just need to flip the switch ;)
I thought it was for the sun god... a well...
And btw, a swastika is turned 45 degrees (or 7,5minuts if you imagine a clock in front of you) to what version you see in the game, that's the only difference. And of course, the meaning... One about peace, one about hate.
I herited that old mytic gold cassette from my uncle who died 5years ago, finished the game, remember playing that game at his home at 6years old, im 30 now, good game but so hard.
I'm sorry for your loss
It's Inherited and sorry for your loss.
You should probably revisit as an adult with a guide. It's really not that hard. Most of the enemies you can jump over and the bosses are easy (Including the last two, stupid easy)

You're thirty, but don't know what a casette is? Really?

Don't use a guide. It's not hard to figure out, especially if you've seen this video. Even Death Mountain is just trial and error.
Gannon’s laugh sounds like one of the boxer’s from Mike Tyson’s 🤜 Punch Out! 🥊
It is the same sound
Every time you walk in the grass random enemies jump out and force you into battle.
Boy, why does that sound familiar. *cough* Pokémon *cough*
The Adventures of Link: 1987
Pokemon: 1990's
salozmen29 1990s. Not 1990 you dumass.
*sigh* Sorry for posting that comment, I didn't mean to start a flame war.
***** You're talking about me using correct spelling...and you just said "youre". And didn't use a period. Something is seriously wrong with your logic.

Guy's Guy's, Calm the f--- down, this is by far the most pointless argument I've ever been into! Theirs no point on commenting to this conversation either ways!!!
8:25 Clockwork Orange reference
Hurr durr, Swastika is actually originally a symbol of peace and I cannot read other people's comments before posting my own.
peace yes ,when every human on earth is super aryan

Fuck Google+ you can't believe anything that's not plastered all over the internet, can you?
Plus in the game it isn't tilted like it is in real life
That's the name of the dungeon, too. Manji
Who’s here in 2022 still enjoying the Nerd!! So much content built up I’m just watching episodes and finding some I missed.
Ridiculously amazing ending. This is my favorite video.
Zelda II kicks ass. I played it when I was 10, and we didn’t have any other Zelda games to compare this to, other than LOZ, and I loved it. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I still love it
Beat it when I was 9 back in 1989 and still wonder how I did it. I still hope for a HD/remake of it. Battle of Olympus was an even better game the following year and drove me nuts!
@Scott Mayfield Nice tip :)
1:55 wait, so the Rope Snake from MOTHER 3 is a reference to that enemy?...
after he found out that it was just a rope, he realized that he didn't have enough Rubies to buy it
