I skipped 2 but I want to play it in the future.
I am one of the bizarre minority that really likes 2 (not more than LttP et al) and I’d say it’s totally worth it. It does suffer from typical NES terrible translation issues leading to a few incredibly obtuse puzzles. It nevertheless just feels like an amazing adventure, which is my favorite Zelda quality. Plus the music is also great in 2.
There's a beautiful hack for it that makes it more like a regular game. Changes the xp system, fixes a lot of Grammer and bugs, and has widescreen.
Obviously you're on a crt. But its a good middle ground hack to look into sometime. That games tough.
Not a hack, a pc remake, hence the ability to do widescreen. The NES doesn’t have the physical capability for that.
But it is good. Really good. It also has new content that’s genuinely fun, too.
I only wish it fixed the enemy shield AI so that it wasn’t perfect all the time… granted, there are still ways to win against it, I just wish that jump attacking wasn’t effectively the ONLY way to do it. Imagine if you could bait them to commit to one location while you stabbed the other. Alas.
There are widescreen hacks out there
