Zelda 2 Still Sticks Out Like a Sore Thumb, Decades Later

For 37 years now, The Legend of Zelda has been one of Nintendo’s flagship franchises, coming second to really only Super Mario himself. For almost four decades, Link has journeyed across Hyrule, defeating bosses, slaying monsters, and saving princesses, and for almost four decades, fans have eaten it up every time. No matter what console Link finds himself on, The Legend of Zelda fans are there to support him, but not all entries are considered equal, and even all these years later, The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link is still the black sheep of the entire franchise.
