Zelda II is too hard. There's one easy thing they could have done to make it manageable instead of artificially difficult
a longer sword
not a lot longer, but bigger than a fucking dagger

Yeah, the shit range makes it really frustrating.
Nah, Link's sword is fine the way it is. The game would be too easy with a longer sword. The difficulty is just right as it is.

here's a map to a longer sword
Holy shit git gud faggot.
Zelda's II combat is fucking excellent and the best in the series. Hard to believe it came from Nintendo.
Also what is the difference between D and F.

This Link's just a dumbass, his sword is longer in every other game
>>332018038
I see loss in there.
>>332018038
>not using shield
>not grinding P-bags to buff your sword
git gud
>>332018671
D is when you do the move.
F is when you bounce on the enemies head, not sure why is using blocks for that though.

>grinding in a non RPG
>gringing in anything
It's okay, AoL isn't canon, it doesn't fit in the Timeline.
>>332019000
>grinding
>git gud
pick one

i grinded your mom last night
The only reason most of the NES games are so fucking hard is because they have terrible controls.
Why did Link turn blonde?
>>332018038
I don't think it's too hard. Could've had one or two sword upgrades to make the sword slightly longer throughout the game, but it was manageable.

Don't you have inflation porn to be drawing?
>>332019596
That's the case for every NES game though.
Z2 is one of those games you get artificially good at through rote memorization and practice. You're not actually good, you just memorized enemy patterns, sword reach, how to avoid projectiles, timing your own sword beam. You can't just pick it up and be good like in Devil May Cry, you need to get artificially good.
>>332020124
this
brain dead game, tones of potential wasted.
>>332020124
But this is the definition of a skill.
Zelda 2 was one of the most satisfying games. I kept getting fucked by the Knights until I knew their patterns incredibly well.
I then got so good at enemy patterns that I could catch on to them very quickly. I beat Shadow Link on my first try.

>>332021419
This, I still say its one of the best games ever made.
>>332021553
Zelda II is easily my favorite Zelda, but that is a damn stretch. The game has serious flaws. Ignoring them is doing the game a disservice.
>>332020124
>artificially good
I'm done with /v/
Is there a hack that improves it? Maybe gives you a golden trail of where you're supposed to go on the overworld
>>332021885
Yeah, and there should be lots of cutscenes and QTEs too. That would make it so much better.
>>332019318
Grinding doesn't make this game much easier though.
>>332021724
I'd actually really like to revisit the format with subweapons, or at least more varied spells.
>Zelda II is too hard
The only hard parts are fighting the blue sword throwers and all of the Great Palace. Death Mountain is hard the first time only because you haven't gotten used to the enemies' attack patterns.
>Link should have a longer sword
You completely misunderstand the point of combat in this game. You aren't meant to mow down enemies and overpower them. Each battle is a duel. There's a specific way to combat each enemy, and if you had a longer sword it would completely break the balance between you and the enemies. For example, the iron knuckles' swords are just as long as yours. If your sword was longer, you could just attack outside of their range and be completely safe. Most enemies attack by ramming into you or hitting you with a sword(which is the same length as your sword), so making your sword even a little bigger would make it too easy.

You can play your hard cryptic version if you want, I want to play the fair one.
