Video Description

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is a very mysterious game, often criticized as being the worst Zelda game ever made by Nintendo—or even just a bad game in general. And yet, it was a title that conquered the video game world when it was released, with glowing reviews from journalists, excellent sales, and, above all, a significant influence on later games in the series and even on other games of its time. Many people are confused and don’t quite know what to make of this game, simply because it’s so different from the rest of the Zelda titles that it’s often misunderstood: experience points, leveling up, side-scrolling combat, bizarre NPC dialogue... Zelda II is a game that can surprise—in both good and bad ways—because of how strange it is. And that strangeness comes from an unusual development process during a time when Nintendo was experimenting and trying out new ideas. Today, we’re going to look back at the story of the most hated Zelda game—the one even its own creator, Shigeru Miyamoto (Shee-geh-roo Mee-yah-moh-toh), admits to disliking, calling it the game he regrets the most, despite its critical and commercial success. 00:00:00 • Introduction 00:01:18 • Developed as a spin off 00:27:19 • Analysis of a coherent game 00:50:41 • An undeserved bad reputation The music used in order : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McyY7OZ9PkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCFAjoD4Tis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVRIgltzQKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbC-aThtabU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Yfuf2ZOh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zovdZp4iw0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d8ybenQcMs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taViF8BEGZo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEGdJs-B4Ng
