Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Video Walkthrough

- This is a video walkthrough / playthrough / runthrough / etc of the NES game Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I think I find all the hidden dolls and p-bags. I'm pretty sure I got all the dolls, though I suppose there is a chance I missed one or two bags....Other than that, I think I did a good job.
This was a game I owned way back in the day. I remember when I finally was able to beat it, how much fun I had going through it all over again with the upgraded stats, killing the bosses in one hit...Muhahahahaha.....Was quite fun... :P - Hry
Jeremy(Saikyomog) passed away 02/20/15. Everyone please see Saikyomog A Dad's Remembrance czcams.com/video/JW2JXL2erLw/video.html and czcams.com/video/t-seAIeu3Og/video.html.
We have kept open a Guest Book for anyone who wishes to make a comment regarding Jeremy. Eventually this will be put together in a keepsake book. www.legacy.com/guestbooks/greenbaypressgazette/jeremy-soncrant-condolences/174206022?&eid=sp_gbupdate
Is this a good thing or a bad thing by you perspective? Jeremy's Dad
You're actively keeping part of his legacy alive and allowing others to participate in doing so. I never knew him, or his work while he was alive, but I feel that he's already added value to my own life through this channel. It may be an unfortunate thing, but in the context of your question I'd say what you're doing is a good thing. So, thank you both and my condolences.
Thank you so much. Jeremy's Dad
Yes, in Feb 2015. You can see Jeremy's story at czcams.com/video/JW2JXL2erLw/video.html and

This guy plays like a boss. Never seen anyone play this game like that. May he rest in peace.
yeah man the way he fights the knights is the most boss way. no jumping to hit their head trick. only manly sword and shield duel
@@chopcooey Yeah, but he still used the exploit to beat Shadow Link.
That was a great play through nonetheless. ;)
Yeah he plays good bc he’s cheating . Didn’t u notice all the glitches??
@Ilikebeaversandeaglesupyourass yeah, cancer. He was a good man, and very responsive to CZcams comments.
🪦 💐
A gamer to be respected and honored for completing one of the hardest games ever made. RIP Jeremy
Without dying one time and no game genie.
Except for YTSunny. She's a legend.
I never knew how to beat this game. This game never told you where to go. In Mario Brothers, after you beat one level it takes you to the next. With this game I just walked around the forest not knowing where to go until I just stopped playing the game. I never beat Zelda I or Zelda II.

Confirmation that I have no life: I spend 2 hours watching a video of someone else playing a video game I've already played before. And I'm okay with that.
Hahaha! Probably because this game was awesome and so was your childhood!
I suppose you two would not have a time machine that I could borrow, no?
+FireInTheCold go to NESforever.com
I'm right along with you!
It is a 1988 nostalgia trip.
I just discovered Jeremy's videos and his videos have helped me get through several games. His videos are still being watched and discovered and appreciated by people like me. Thank you for the incredible guides your son gave us and I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine going through that.❤
You have no idea how happy it makes me to find out new people are discovering and enjoying Jeremy's videos. Jeremy was not afraid to die, he just didn't want to be forgotten. So thank you so much. Jeremy's dad
I'm so sorry. I don't know why, but I sit here with tears in my eyes as I watch this. I have barely even watched any of these videos. I don't even know you. I am a father too, and I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. May you find peace. I can tell how much you love him, and he you................
Thank you, that is very kind of you. Losing Jeremy was the hardest thing that has ever happened to me, and believe me over the years there have been some pretty difficult occurrences. His birthday is coming up the end of Sept. I am hoping I don't crash like I did the last two years. We had a very special relationship. I would call him my mini-me, even though he was an inch taller. I still miss him every day, but the pain is not as severe with the passage of time. I know I will see him again some day. Once again. thank you for your kind comment. Jeremy's Dad
I finally beat this game after 18 years, all thanks to you.
Rest easy man, thank you
Jeremy would have been so pleased to know he had helped. That was what he wanted. Thank you for the kind comment. Jeremy's dad
How did this guy pass away? Regards
A few times a year I'll come back to watch this playthrough. His gameplay reminds me of when I was little watching my dad play this game for hours. I've even let this play and fallen asleep to it. Thank you for keeping his videos up. I've been watching this playthrough over and over since 2013 or 2014 and it's still my favorite to watch.
Thanks for being a faithful follower of Jeremy’s channel. Jeremy would have been glad to hear that another fan of the older games had watched. He was not afraid to die, he just did not want to be forgotten. Hearing from someone like you helps me to know he is being remembered. You must have a good heart. We are doing all we can to keep the channel active. Thanks for your support, Jeremy’s dad
@@SaikyoMogHi Jeremy's dad, it's been a little more than a year now. I've read your comment several times cause I still continue to come back and watch this playthrough. This game holds a special place in my heart and the way Jeremy played was to perfection. My inner child is always happy coming back to this video. Thank you again for keeping this up. It brings me joy. Happy almost Father's Day!
@@Twas_Grace That is the sweetest comment in a long time. Jeremy would love to have known someone had enjoyed the video so much. Refreshing your inner child once in a while is a wise idea. I am glad Jeremy's video can do that for you. Thanks for the Father's Day wish, it is very thoughtful of you. God Bless, Jeremy's dad
I remember that gold cartridge for this game.
Gold, Silver and the grey one. this game had it all
I still own it. It even belonged to my father first so we have it since quite a long time in my home country
I still got both gold cartridges of nes zelda games in my room.
@@Legend-of-Mike Yep
This is the best Zelda ll the Adventure of Link walkthrough very thorough. No talking just fun to watch and learn silently. Just the way I like it.
Jeremy Rest In Peace you are a true Zelda Master.
Downward thrust was about the best attack in this game.
With jump magic enraged
Yeah, literally a game changer once you get it
Best attack I give my gf too
Truly a GREAT player. Long after, everyone can appreciate watching your playthrough. RIP ♾
This brought back so many good memories! You blew my mind when you walked through the skulls, I never knew that! I just wanted to mention my strategy for killing the caped knights with swords in the castles. I always jump and then strike. This causes the knight to place his shield in the same position every time, so you can kill him faster. Thanks for making this walk through!
I know, right? That's exactly what I do to kill them quickly. Gotta take advantage of the A.I. if you can, right?
Kelly H You look like a younger Sigourney Weaver
Just finished this game, 30 yrs in the making! Thank you for the tips you are a legend! Peace and love.
Thanks for the kind comment. Jeremy would have appreciated it. Jeremy's dad
The only Zelda that truly challenged me. RIP SaikyoMog and thank you for everything.
Thank you for the kind comment. Jeremy would have appreciated it. Jeremy's dad
I never finished this game. you sir were a legend!
The theme for the last Castle still sends chills down my spine even after over 30 years
I know this game was criticized a lot for being so different from the first but this game is still really cool and REALLY challenging towards the end (anybody remember how hard it is just to get to the start of the final castle?). The music is great, the leveling up, the spells, the music..
I remember how hard this game was to get when it first came out. Nintendo released Zelda II around Christmas and nobody where I lived could keep a copy on the shelves. I can't remember another NES game that had such a demand for it when it was first released.
mattness615 Super Mario Bros 3. Months long waiting lists to purchase the game and weeks long waiting lists to simply rent the game.
yojoeski The same was true about Zelda 2 except game rentals didn't exist yet.
I liked the game, it was like playing Legeld of Zelda: Castlevania edition! Plus it introduced Shadow Link, one of the best bosses in the Zelda universe.
So true! Shadow Link was hard as hell!
This guy is truly playing like a BOSS!! 30yrs ago u could not pass this game. I quit after half way. But now I just passed the game thanks to this video! Thanks for the walk-through 🙏
Jeremy would have appreciated the compliment, thank you so much. God Bless Jeremy's dad
@@SaikyoMog 🙏🙏🙏
@@familyguyathome Again, thank you. Jeremy's dad
Pretty sure that there were some people playing this 30+ years ago were able to finish this game. Unless you're not using semantics.
My aunt and I started this game over 30 years ago and we have never come close to beating it. I have vowed that when I finally beat this game, it will be my personal greatest achievement/struggle as a gamer. I needed this video!
Jeremy would have loved knowing he helped. Jeremy's dad
thank you so much for this upload. dusted my NES off a couple months ago to try and beat the games i was unable to beat as a child. defeated ninja gaiden 2, batman, friday the 13th and knew i had to slay this dragon sooner than later, and it was up next. and now i am finally able to say i can add this to the "defeated list" after 20 or so years. your video helped immensely, especially with the later dungeons. thank you!
Ninja gaiden 2?!? I can't get past stage 2-2!
+Big Pooter really? ..still?
Thank you for the video! I finally beat Zelda II. It was on my to beat list since I was a kid
Jeremy would have been very happy to have read your comment. His goal was to help people. Thanks for commenting. Jeremy's dad
I remember as a kid trying to find that goddamn hammer so i can go to next level. I never did and stop playing. After 33 years that mystery has been solved! Thank you jeremy and R.I.P.
Jeremy would have said you are very welcome. I say thanks for the kind RIP. Jeremy's dad
i’m beyond grateful to still have my gameboy advanced and this game
That intro music gets me every time. Takes me back about 30 years.
Jeremy, you definitely make this game look easy! RIP man....
This guide really took most of the sting out of playing this game. I finally played and beat it after all these years. Thank you so much for making this game. It’s legendary. Rest In Peace, man
Thank you for the compliment to Jeremy, and for the kind RIP. It is appreciated. Jeremy's dad
@Mel's channel Jeremy would had been so happy to have read your comment. Jeremy's dad
Your playthrough of this legendary game will still live on. RIP Jeremy.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Jeremy would have appreciated the compliment. I thank you for the kind RIP. Jeremy’s dad
Wow, the hyrule temple theme from smash melee started with Zelda 2 in 1987
Nintendo's music is top tier
The greatest game of my childhood by far...it is ingrained in my soul
you liked this above the first installment?
I ain’t playing this game. It doesn’t look that fun
I used to play this game when I was a kid and I had to idea what I was doing. My husband bought the Nintendo nes and now my son and I “play” (he’s only 3). I still had no clue what I was doing so I decided to look up the game on CZcams and your walkthrough was the first one to come up. Now when we play my son tells me “mom CZcams” to watch your video as a guide. Thank you so much for this amazing video, I tell my husband the person playing has amazing skills. We’re still stuck at the first palace lol but even after we turned off the Nintendo we watch the video together :)
Rest In Peace Jeremy ♥️
This is such a kind comment. Jeremy would have loved the idea of two generations watching his video and using it for guidance. Thanks you also for the kind RIP. Jeremy's dad
SaikyoMog thank you sir for responding to my comment. I hope that through time you have found acceptance and serenity. You and your family are in my prayers. I hope that I’m not offending you with my comment.
@@Mfc8586 Absolutely no offense, in fact I appreciate the kind comment and prayers. Thank you so much. God bless, Jeremy's dad
Nostalgia trip. Why do I find it relaxing watching someone else play. I've been like that since I was little. Is it the relaxation of not spending the extra energy on playing?
I think so. Then you dont have to buy the game or wonder how to beat it because someone is showing how. Just like watching a movie
When I'm fiddling around on my computer, I'll sometimes watch a video of mine on my TV. Love the fact I can stream them via my blu ray player.
Wow. Holy shit. No deaths. Im kinda amazed. Even the fight before dark link was flawless. May jeremy rest in peace. I havent yet found a player who played this game this superbly and with this grace.
I personally prefer the first chapter of the Zelda saga. But the structure of this second adventure has inspired many games of the years to follow, from Arcade like Taito Cadash to the Golden Sun saga for GBA.
A masterpiece is forever!
I had a love/hate relationship with this game. Probably the hardest Zelda there is. The music still haunts my dreams.
Man watched this whole video. This dude was Savage, straight whipped everybody in this game like nothing wow
Does anybody have a time machine that I can borrow? Because I miss my childhood!
Dude the 90s and early 2000s were the golden era for nintendo games (my childhood) I miss it :P If you find a time machine, let me know cause I want to tag along.
Bro--if I had a time machine, I'd tell SaikyoMog to get screened for cancer as early as possible.
Pawn shop &some reto game shops have what you looking for you know they about 2or3 years ago they (Nintendo) made( mini nes )has 30 games it on console
FireInTheCold it’s 2021
Man, this brings back memories! My father and I would stay up all night playing this (happier times....). We never did beat it but it was sooo damn fun then! RIP Saikyo
Your comment brings back happy memories for me of the times Jeremy and I would hang out together. We also had a lot of fun. I still miss him every day. Jeremy's dad
@@SaikyoMog thank u for ur comment and once again, I am sorry for ur loss.
@@chinapat6708 Your are very welcome, take care. Jeremy's dad
Just beat it. RIP buddy, thanks a lot...
Jeremy can't, but I can say thank you. Jeremy's Dad
This game had the most hypnotic video game music of All-Time...!!
Agreed the music of this game was legendary
11:49 can listen it many hours no prob !
@Sandy V. no, i didn't know that, but it all makes sense now. #GardenOfEdenBackStories
Just for the record.....I liked Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Nope really. I got it back in the day and like most was hoped for the Zelda sequel, as I started to play my enthusiasm and excitement decreased until I was like.....WTF? But I didn't have much else back then so I persisted, and persisted and started progressing more and more to the point where I actually started to enjoy and look forward to my next play sessions. I completed it and had a feeling of satisfaction. I know many hated it but I feel in the end it was time well spent.
Zelda 2 and Castlevania 2, anytime i hear the music for either i feel like im 10 years old again..sitting in the basement in the dark playing hour after hour after hour lol
It's a high of it's own.
This game and legacy of the wizard. In the basement. Never giving up. Never beating them as a child. I came back and played them both later with my adult brain and they were still hard.
i eventually beat castlevania 2 as a kid, i still cant beat zelda 2 as an adult lol
+lethrneck4 Zelda 2, I'd fall down the fake floor over and over! Grrr! And then, trying to defeat the boss after that! OMG!
ive played every zelda game and Zelda 2 is still by far the hardest of them all..once you get deep into the game, normal enemies you encounter are tough to beat!
I don’t care what anyone says. This was an awesome Zelda game. The instruction manual was fun and sets up a creative world that lives in your imagination. There are tons of secrets and things to explore. Link gets stronger and more badass as the game goes on. And the combat is a ton of fun. It requires precision but damn it’s great when you master it, like this guy. Respect dude
Thanks for uploading for us to enjoy
Jeremy would have said thanks for the compliment and that he was glad you enjoyed the video. Jeremy's dad
WOW, LONG WALKTHRU. BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.
This was damn hard
its boring but the best advise i can give and i am not an expert is try to level yourself up even your sword as much as you can even before the first dungeon so you can be ready for enemys the grassy ares are a good place to grind lol you really want to be ready for death mountain
Ive used his guides for all the Metroid games and now for this. Homies a legend flawlessly beating these games while never saving nor dying. Thank you for the guides. RIP
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Jeremy would have been glad to hear that another fan of the older games had watched. I thank you for the kind RIP. Jeremy’s dad
It's great to be able to watch videos of others who played the games I watched my older brother play growing up. I don't even remember if he had finished this game back then... I was only around 5 years old.
this is one of the most amazing things ive seen... that you took a couple hours to do what took me days!!!
Such greatness here man. I f’n love it! Thank you and RIP
Jeremy helped me complete Zelda l with his walkthrough now I have completed Zelda ll, his memory lives on strong, what a talent he had, thank you 🙏
Thank you for the kind comment. Jeremy just didn't want to be forgotten, so comments like yours mean a lot to me. Jeremy's dad
This game brought back so much memories of my youth. The first time I ended this I was happy as hell. What an adventure!
One great way to kill those sword knights is to hit them while jumping, as if to push their shield down. It saves both time and life!
I've been told this countless times before. While growing up playing this, I never did that, so when I made the videos, I just sort of went with muscle memory more or less with fighting enemies and whatnot. Obviously I wasn't fighting some of the enemies the best way that I could have.
@Mendoza Juan I just read about his passing. I'm so sorry. He was so young... 😢
Played this the first day it came out in the US....and it blew me away! It is classic side scrolling action and I spent HOURS AND HOURS on it.
Love this game! I think I still have my original!
I still remember the terminology, too. The P bags were "pepper bags" and get hit was to get "gucked", after the noise Link makes.
I LOVED this game...it was so awesome when I finally beat it (agree with you there) - it was one of the few games I had that I didn't have to start all my progress over if I died (thanks Mario Bros)...thank you for taking me back to my childhood :0)

They are releaing a smaller nes with 30 games!! Can't wait to play this again.
SaikoMog I enjoyed every minute, thanks for awesome plays. RIP.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Jeremy would have been glad to hear that another fan of the older games had watched. Jeremy’s dad
I LOVE Zelda games. All of them that I've played. The story, the characters, the consistent game play mediums...but for some reason, they make me feel so sad and lonely, ESPECIALLY this game. I don't know why. Like...Link never gets anything, no love, no real friends, no home, no family. Just...wanders around and struggles for people - in such terrible conditions. It's so sad to me. There's just something so ...mysterious about these games to me, but they make me feel depressed and nostalgic.
Jared Szczesny Well ok i agree since you put it that....way.......
I agree, it makes me feel exactly the same to be honest and never knew why. The music is a big part of that feeling.. and the whole game world is so freaking empty and sober (like the houses with only 1 table in it, and 1 character) Back in the day those type of games just felt empty and sad to me in general, but ESPECIALLY Link.
Maybe, just maybe... it makes you feel depressed and nostalgic because somewhere on your subconscious this games remind you of your childhood and the feeling that time is never coming back.
I played this game a lot as a kid. IMO it doesn't get that good until the second island, where the gameplay is much more challenging and varied. The difficulty really ramps up toward the end, and the final palace is downright evil.
This brings back some awesome childhood memories! Great game 😎
Thanks so much for uploading this great playthrough, SaikyoMog. RIP my friend
I'm glad this game starts you back at Hyrule when you get a game over. Know why? Cause people would bitch that they might have missed something on the way to the dungeon. Plus it makes you be a better player and cherish your life! I love this game because it requires skill and most gamers have very little.
mopbrothers Preach!! I’m getting very tired of hearing gamers raised on very sophisticated game systems complain that old school, 2-D 8- & 16-bit games are “boring” or “too hard” or have “bad gameplay”. BS. If you can’t get through something you keep trying until you get it.
Yes. Thank You
@@duffyjohnson77 They are used to their hand being held.
It's the only Zelda game I've never beaten. It still haunts me in my dreams.
That's because it's ass.
@@fermisurface2616 I did actually beat it in December 2020. Was a glorious feeling.
This looks just as guide required as the first game which is why I ain’t playing it

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Jeremy would have been glad to hear that another fan of the older games had watched. Jeremy’s dad
Damn! You make it look so easy and then I go and try it and it's like, "I SUUUUUCK!!!"
Link was tired by then...He wanted a nap and he just wasn't up for a fair fight... ;)
1:58:53 I remember playing this game back when i was a kid and the music from the last castle gave me chills, and I loved it, and I still love that song.
thanks for this! Never been able to complete game, now I can relax and see whole game unfold!
Jeremy would be happy to read your comment. Jeremy's Dad
I was never able to finish that game.
Fegelein Me Neither.
This is one of the hardest games of Zelda
Me neither!
OMG! That music brings me back so many years! WOW!
I never finished this game. I got it when I left Nintendo for a job back home and got through 2/3 of it before I got too busy. Thanks for showing it all to me.
awesome

@@SaikyoMog your welcome.
I still got my original nintendo and 78 games. This is one of my childhood favorites.
This is the most challenging Zelda game in history.
+ParadiXe311 ill take your word for it too.
Mr Kenshiro Really tho. Getting to the end of this game without cheating is nearly impossible.
Facts 💯 and I beat Majora's Mask so that's saying sumpthin lol
Its hated only because it was more like a Plataformer and RPG.
More games werw inspired by this game than the original Zelda.
Battle of Olympus, Rambo, River City Ransom, and some spin-offs of Final Fantasy were clearly inspired by this game.
Its actually the best 8-bit Zelda and one of the best Zeldas with Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, and Link to the Past.
Great Gameplay. Brought back so many memories. Thank you. R.I.P. Brother.
Jeremy would have appreciated the compliment. I thank you for the kind hope of peace. Jeremy's dad
I remember my brother and I playing this game together. It was brand new then, and it was our ultimate favourite game
2:06:02 The first time I saw one of those thing it scared me to death! 😂
This is also one of my Favorite Nes Games of All-Time no question
+Great Boss battles
+ Alot of level experience fun gaining powers and finding necessary items to enter new places to progress farther into the game.
+ Excellent video game music ("maybe the best" after ninja gaiden and astyanax)
Great with the positive, now is time to see the negative of this game :
-You can so easily lost without any guides and some NPC are useless to talk. At least, this is really nothing compared to Castlevania 2 : Simon's Quest.
-When you get a game over, (Lost all your lives.) you lost not only your exp points, but you return right in the beginning point instead to spawn in the beginning of the Palace. Like you're need to walk all over again the road to return in the palace. (Except of the Great Palace, thanks god.)
-The difficulty spike can be so high and he can be so unfair. (Eventually when you go to Death Mountain for find the hammer or the last road before the Great Palace.)
In a good word, this game can be so frustrating, but at least is not impossible to beat. Without his defaults, this game was be good because Nintendo did atleast try a another formula with the franchise and it was not bad at all.
