Zelda 2's Bad Rap

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link has always been considered the "black sheep" in the series, but is its stigma really warranted? We compare Zelda 2 to its predecessor to determine its value and why it's so frequently regarded as the worst title in The Legend of Zelda series.

I saw this little gem while digging for news on Digg.com. I always loved the Adventure of Link. I have a warm place in my heart for side-scrolling games because a lot of 3rd person 3-D games give me motion sickness headaches and it pisses me off. I also love the new Super Mario Brothers game for the DS. It's a big hit in my house - my wife is even playing it, which is a rarity these days.

Lets face it - Side scrolling platformers are the best games. Remember playing Contra with your friends? I spent hours with that game and my friend Brian growing up. I also invested a lot of my time into the original Metriod game as well as Kid Icarus. I really wish they would revamp those games and keep them true to their originals.
