  • Zelda 2 Redux hack by ShadowOne333: www.romhacking.net/hacks/5440/
    Lady Link sprite hack by ArchAngelleofJustice: www.romhacking.net/hacks/3415/
    This week on Sunday Longplay, I'm playing a ROM hack for one of my favorite NES games that's been in the works for two and a half years and just saw its final release three days ago, combined with another sprite hack somebody else made for it. Welcome to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Redux!
    The original Zelda II was notorious for its high difficulty level. Zelda 2 Redux rebalances the game to make it more manageable for average gamers, makes some QoL changes, and adds some extra visual flair to the game. See the full list of changes at the hack's webpage above.
    There are also optional supplemental patches for this hack including restoring some of the original game's mechanics to retain the original difficulty level with the new graphical style, a new experience system similar to icepenguin's "Journey of a Day" and "Shadow of Night" hacks (I still need to play Shadow of Night one of these days!), and a few others. In fact, one hacker who made a female Link sprite hack for the base Zelda II game recently updated it to make a female Link sprite hack for Zelda 2 Redux, so I'm combining that with the Redux hack for this Sunday Longplay!

      When over the years, Zelda 2 has seen so much love how do you measure your minority opinion as the game designers kicking the players with their creation? The proof of all the love is the many, many rom hacks for Z2.
      Truly, I respect differing opinions and yours included. But I don't understand your line of thinking here at all.

    My favorite Zelda game by far. I play it at least once a year. This looks like they added an easy mode to an already good game. Not sure if I like the heart life bar.
    I do like how the music for enemy encounters changes to the Famicom version when on the other side of the sea.

    Really wish they had finally fixed Link’s sword to not be flesh colored. Other than that, there are few changes I’d have made that the makers didn’t mention altering themselves that I can think of. But I am excited about the new alternative paths in the Great Palace.

    Couple things I would suggest to the hack authors (hackers?): The restored FDS music used on the East continent should only play when fighting the two mounted Iron Knuckles in the sixth palace (and maybe Thunderbird, if possible). Also, when the Lady Link sprite is used, change her sound (when she takes damage) to use the one from the original Zelda to give her a more feminine voice.

    They really went all out tweaking a lot of the nuances to this game. Just the tweaks done to Link's sword and beams alone makes this tempting to try.
    Everything else that was added is super nice...
