What is your favorite Zelda game? Ocarina of Time? Breath of the Wild? Maybe it's Twilight Princess. Most people don't answer Zelda II. In fact, most people would say Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is the worst Zelda game of the series. For me, it brings back some nostalgia. I remember playing this in anticipation, wondering what the sequel to Zelda would bring. It's dungeons were mysterious, and the music for the game is very memorable.
Truthfully, it hasn't aged well. Zelda II opted for a side-scrolling view for it's dungeon gameplay over the topdown play style of the original game. However, I think a remake would turn this game into the classic it was supposed to be. I would love to see something similar to the Metroid Samus Returns remake.
Sometimes I feel like I don't understand what the hell Nintendo is doing. They have such a strong legacy of games they could remake to keep the legacy thriving. Personally, it feels like they abandon previous systems. The 3ds is truly unique in it's ability to show 3d games, yet the new games coming out seem sparse. Nintendo has such a library of games, yet I feel like they underperform in many ways. Their Zelda and Metroid series have such potential to be remade and updated with new graphics. Zelda II in particular would allow for A LOT of room to rework some of the original aspects of the game.
Check out this fanmade version of Parapa Palace! Looks nice. Nintendo, why can't you make this happen??
