In 1986, the world was first introduced to The Legend of Zelda, one of the greatest video games ever created. Telling the story of an elf boy named Link who journeys to save Hyrule from an evil being named Ganon. In the end, the game was fun and innovative as well as successful. So, with the game being a success, that would obviously result in a sequel made. Sure enough, in 1987, Nintendo would release the second game of the Zelda franchise called Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Somewhat deviating from the successful formula of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II sees the player take control of Link as he journeys through Hyrule in order to cure the original Princess Zelda of a sleeping spell. Taking a more side-scrolling/RPG position, the game would have it's supporters as well as detractors. With the 35th Anniversary having happened back in January 2022, let's take a look at perhaps the most unique Zelda game in history. This article does contain spoilers.
