- This was a highly requested playthrough of the Zelda II Adventure of Link remaster by Hoverbat. The video is on the long side, but I spent a lot of time exploring the new changes.

This playthrough has been lightly edited. Some walkbacks and unfruitful wandering were edited out for brevity.
Hope you enjoy it!

@LackAttack
I must admit it was funny to watch someone who was obviously and expert at the original constantly f*ck up in this because you made so many assumptions as to where everything would be and that it would be the same.
@@ymeynot0405 yeah lots of differences, which was a good thing! Fun to have a new experience

Note Spoilers at the bottom if you want to avoid them.
Well you earned another subscriber, and I'll have to find you on Twitch.
I hope you go back and play second quest sometime... get the maps early and make sure every square is visible on the screen so you can see everything. Hoverbat redesigned the game so it would be harder at the start and easier at the end (if you got everything)
You are so skilled at the game I hope you try it with the randomizer on, and put the keys in there if you are a real masochist. But with the randomization things like the fire spell to light torches and extra caves to by pass item lockouts keep the game fair. Example - you can get from the north to the south of the first continent with: the Jump spell & Hammer per usual, but you can also do it with (Fire spell, Power Bracelet, or Glove)
If you didn't realize: (It was hard to tell with the cuts)
The necklace restored mana/magic over time
The red Fairy took health (about 2 blocks) when it saved your life. (it wasn't X times per room)
A list of what you missed (but not where) Spoilers:

Can't get the sound to work
It's 103 degrees outside. Perfect day to stay in and watch a massive playthrough of a Zelda game!
Or to take a massive dump!
@@EnjoySackLunch Good idea, I’ll do just that.
Or even on a -20 degree day
You guys don’t really watch all 4 hours of this do you? Please tell me you don’t lol
@@brianmeen2158 don’t judge people on how they spent their time. I’m sure you spend 4 hours plenty of times doing things others find ridiculous but you find rewarding.
Zelda 2 is such an underrated game, and the combat doesn't get enough credit. Even all these *decades* later, gamers with many years of experience playing games struggle with the combat even though the game doesn't really do anything cheap. The enemies are simply designed very well.
that blue guy who throws the knives is CHEAP. also that red guy who throws the axes... CHEAP.
@@ronartest7748 They're pretty easy to deal with especially with the jump stab method.
I'm not attempting it again lol zelda 2 is a spectator sport 😅 for me anyway I'll admit I can't do it 😅😢
@@ronartest7748 everytime you attack him you jumpattack him and DOWNSTRIKE with your sword, not a downthrust which is under link, u hold down and sideways + attack, this does a crouch attack in midair, allowing u to basically trick the shield block ull hit everytime.
@@dantedeloden I think he's talking about the blue and red eagle guys in the great palace, not the iron knuckles.
This was frustrating to watch. Jumping and bumping into almost every single enemy.
And not using Protect until he’s at critical health, even when they gave him a red bottle before…
Always good to see the Lack Attack is back and on track. Thanks Jack.
It’s a Hack snack pack
as a lifelong zelda nes fan 1 and 2.. this is a sick rendition.
Where do u play this😊
@@enamias link in the description. or see the pinned comment.
as a comment reader, this comment is a comment.
@@anotherland2462 as a commenter to the comment on my original comment.. nice comment.
17:40 - the perfect timing of "yeah I don't need Mega Man with my Zelda" immediately before the yoku blocks section
This remaster is amazing! Good to see you Lack!
This project has come a very long way, thanks to you for playing it and to hoverbat for giving the best Zelda game some much needed tlc
2nd quest is a literal S-ton more material.... a must play. Everything from Dark link on is CRAZY
Didn’t know this! Thanks
@@B0redom13 The only thing is that you have to start from SCRATCH!
@@fredbecerra1608Not quite - you still have your magic spells, level ups, and up and down thrust.
@@Damariobros Thank you for the correction
This remake really is amazing. So much extra content and still the spirit of the old game.
GG, Lack. Always great to see you.
i will be watching this on the side as i work from home all day tomorrow thanks!
super excited
The Erdrick reference makes me unreasonably happy
Elf Town FF1
Of DQ/DW fame?
How online gaming goes for me.... "Just a second, the kids are hurting themselves, or each other, or the house."
I remember my brother beating that game back in the 80’s to this day he still beating every game he gets his hand on. The crazy amount of games under his belt is f-in crazy.
"I thought I was going to fall into the hole" immediately gets hit and into the hole. Classic comedy is the best.
Sick remake. I just got led to this channel somehow through the algorithm and, very cool, Im totally subbed. First video Ive seen and I def wanna check out the other stuff you did. Great stuff
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to get some new stuff out soon
6 minutes in and all I can say is Hats Off to the folks that made this happen. The animated backgrounds, icons, and parallax scrolling enhancements are just really nicely done.
100%. Such a wonderful tribute
This was super enjoyable to watch. I'd totally watch another playthrough of this.
as a lover of zelda 2, this looks awesome. I laughed out loud when you fell through in palace 3 to the red iron knuckle…zelda 2 be like that
This is am awesome remaster of an amazing classic. GG.
The disappearing blocks to get to the trophy made me instantly think of Double Dragon II.
GG on completing the first play-through. Looking forward to the second!
I remember this game when it first came out. This music brings back my child hood.
This takes me back! 👍
Haha. I was waiting for you to play this game. Love your play throughs.
Haha.
As I'm watching this, I had to pause because I'm dying at the chicken part LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Thanks for making this! I watched this entire thing while I was on the toilet. So great
Are you OK
@@LackAttack I tried some Coconut Oil Cleanse I saw on this bodybuilder dudes IG and totally messed up and got the dosage all wrong. I’m actually thinking about taking a visit to the Emergency Room. Ever go through anything like this? What do you think I should do? Honestly
@@LarryLonson i'd get to the ER and tell them everything. Follow directions from there. Likely lots of water + electrolytes to rehydrate asap, lots of probiotics in the days to come.
@@hobbit125 thanks. I appreciate you looking out for me.
A 4 hour lack video I’m watching on the 4th of July??? What did I do to deserve this?? Awesome is all I can say ❤
Happy 4th 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great videos. Finally someone gives ZII and SMB2 the love they deserve!
Watched this video last night and really appreciate the way you played that remaster : peacefully 😁 GG for your skill 😉
That was a proper miniboss guard for the master key.
I always wondered why they did not use the hardest boss more of the temples before the last one.
As a kid i played this so much everyday and learned a lot of the things on my own without a book or internet...all i had was an older brother of a friend of mine that would give tips cuz he played it too but overall I just explored and died a lot and just kept playing...finally I got to some barrier and I tried everything like turning into a fairy to get thru but never was able so I never finished it as a kid :( later on I watched lets plays and finally saw how so now knowing this exists its bringing back memories and now I have a chance to play this with new content as an adult :)...thank you!
It's so good! Hope you enjoy it
I think this was my favorite Zelda/Link game.
Dude perfected an already great game.
Looks so clean/colorful and better detail/graphics than the original.
I LOVED this game. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t more of a fan base!!
as much as i loved the og zelda 2 back in the day, this remake is way better. great video
This has been so cool to watch! Loving it.
I cant watch this anymore. Hurts to much
Appreciate the subtle seinfeld references throughout. I have two horses. Their names? Snoopy and prickly pete.
Another solarium?
I have a confession this game has always creeped me out. It's just weird to me
As zelda lover. This game used to creep me out as well. I did not beat this game until I was in my third year of college
Oh, and as for the Erdrick thing, in the original Final Fantasy game, there was a tombstone that says something like "Here lies Erdrick" and I think that Square did this as a bit of a jab at Enix who were rivals at the time. If memory serves me correctly, after Square and Enix merged, they released updated versions and instead said "Here lies Link". I figured that this is just a nod to that. It would also be tough to incorporate the characters of Final Fantasy as they had no canonical names, as far as I know. They are just the warriors of light and the player names them before the start of the quest.
Man, Ive forgot how ruthless Zelda 2 was. Still traumatized by Death Mountain so early in the game!
That intro music transported me back 25 years
Dude I used to play before school while my sister choked me out with Aussey hairspray, I can still taste it. What an awesome time to be a kid 😁
In parapa desert, use kick kick punch and don't get diarrhea!
is that from parapa the raper?
Bro is like the dark souls player of zelda lmao the reaction timing is insane
Now that was epic!
Hoping for a part 2.
I really love all the nice graphical touches in this.
There's definitely an ultimate second ending on second quest. Hopefully he plays it again.
Looking forward to play along for my very first time aswell soonish, thx 🙌!
if i remember correctly from Vinny's stream, the game was reverse engineered from Zelda's 2 actual code.
Shoutout to @hoverbat great job on the remake/remaster/reimagining
Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing! I'll need to play this one day! :D
lmfao I kept hearing your kids thinking it was mine screaming
Nope, just mine 🤣
I am here for this heresy.
Zelda 2 is my favorite game and i love this remaster, its so good besides a couple gripes here and there. My issue is i can't find info at all on what things do what exactly. Like I can't for the life of me find all the orange slimes they added or a heart container on island palace. Great video sir
forso_ here, i did miss the live stream so thanks for the upload !!
I also downloaded it so thanks for the link too !!!
It's an amazing game!
I would have been so disappointed if they didn't leave Error in the game lol
I'm convinced that Lack and Willard J Bradley are the same person.
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Link never helped? Do we really know if ganon is evil? Or is it Pro-Link propaganda? Maybe princess Zelda is an awful tyrannical dictator and that is why she was put to sleep? Things to think about while playing zelda 2.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Don’t cut yourself on all that edge @toorima99
He'll yeah! Lack is back!! Love this dude!!
Never played Zelda II. If this is more forgiving than it was I’d have zero chance.
I'd say this is wayyy more forgiving. Much less unnecessary backtracking in case of a mistake
@ProtoManZero I meant I’d have zero chance at the original. Why would I start with this? I thought I heard him say it was easier than the original at one point. People getting mad for no reason.
Lack is BACK! 💪😎✌️
46:18 “don’t be a clown, stab down”
I completely beat this game a few months back, and it is an absolute masterpiece. The only fan game I’d say compares to it would be AM2R. But this is ridiculously well made.
I wish they'd do a 16 bit render of this...
@@Clyde-S-Wilcox that would be quite an undertaking. The game is absolutely massive. I’ll probably replay this game as long as I have the ability to do so, just how I do with the original The Legend of Zelda, etc.
Zelda II The Adventure of Link MASTER QUEST.
Great video man enjoyed it !
Zelda 2 was always my favorite.
Get all the pots and "p" bags everywhere!!!!
Always love your YT videos. Try to catch you as much as I can on twitch.
we need part 2!!!
👀
Well I got my 4 hours set lol. I hope you beat the game and did the 2nd play through for the extra content. I'll have to wait and see
The palaces here don't turn to stone when you place the crystal and leave
This is what Nintendo should be doing with all of their 8bit and 16bit games, instead it's down to fans.
I love this version of the game and the enhanced music gives of Castlevania vibes.
at 5:37 im cracking up going no way its a heart piece its a heart piece, then he goes its a heart piece... well thats not how it was in zelda 2... im like yeah thats not how it was in zelda 1 either LOL.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. When I left NOA I returned to Montana. This game came out at that time. I always liked the music in this game. My Nintendo Power magazine had a good map of this game.
I agree with you on the free form stuff. I want a super difficult 2D Zelda game
I loved Zelda 2. Man this remixed game looks awesome
You make this very difficult game seem easy. For every 10 mins of screen time in your video, it takes me an hour.
OMG where do you get this?! I'm a HUGE fan of!
As for the babies screaming in the back, we are in the same shoes :D
Just letting the world know I share the joy of raising young kids!
I got a good laugh at you saying you dont need Mega Man in your Zelda only to instantly run into the infamous disappearing blocks from Mega Man lol
Epic timing
Wow the remake is pretty awesome 👏 zelda 2 is one of my favorite Zelda games
Had to watch just to see if that one npc still says error lol
I beat zelda 2 i was so proud as a kid. I sorta remember beating your shadow. Some games I remember I just couldn't beat were. Ninja Gaiden, Master Blaster, and Kid Icarus on the nes were impossible for me. It still haunts me that I couldn't beat them
Ninja Gaiden for Xbox was impossible.
Yeah, this wouldn't be able to be run on the original hardware. Even if you could fit the new assets into a cart, the hardware would likely not be able to render all of the additional graphics to the larger screen. The game only renders so many tiles and adding the additional tiles that are not rendered because that content would be off the screen I imagine would be far beyond the original hardware's capabilities.
That said, this does look like a very fun remake.
This game was a pain in the ass
I remember being a teenager when this came out and everyone was complaining about the side scrolling but most of the people that said that never even played it. Like people that say they hate sushi but never ate a piece of it.i loved this game and still do
Zelda 2 is an all timer!
The original game is timeless, and good in its own right, but the additions for this version make the game so much more immersed
100% agree
Good to see you posting bro.....
Very cool upload. Thanks!
I had to go try it out after watching some of this. Its pretty cool in my opinion. Sadly the keyboard mapping is horrible and doesn't seem to have a way to be re-mapped. Major bad news for the gameplay trying to use ctrl to attack and space to jump was just throwing me all kinds of off. Add the ability to customize the controls and this is a total show stopper. Edit: I just looked closer and there is in fact a way to remap the keys I simply overlooked it 10/10
Yeah I used an NES to USB adapter to play. Was awesome!
No idea they remastered this ....however even though I'm currently trying to play all zelda games this one 😅 I will only watch so thank you 😊
The towns have a actual background is the difference 😂
LackAttack24 outstanding videos.
It’s like Zelda, SMB and Mega Man had a baby.
The original always drove me nuts.
ggs 🎉 thx for playing
PaRappa the Rapper was sooo sick. I only had the demo disc. 😢
