#Zelda2 #Zelda #NES Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link NES - Ultimate Walkthrough / Beginners Guide

Episode 3
CLASSIC FIRST: First Zelda game covered on UCBVG!

Zelda 2 is often seen as the black sheep of the franchise, but I think it's just misunderstood. In this video we will learn:

* How the Experience Leveling system works and how we can manipulate it.

* Locations where every spell and hidden item can be found.

* Strategies for beating the difficult Death Mountain, and a way to skip it!

* How to fight those difficult armored Ironknuckles!

* Easy ways to defeat all 8 bosses!

* Data on TONS of enemies so you'll know your foes inside and out!

* How to get through the maze-like final palace, and more!

This was actually the first game that my mother beat, way back in I want to say 1991? Even I hadn't beaten it yet, and along with her beating the original SMB, it's a small point of pride for me. My mom sadly passed away in 2019, but this video reminded me of her way back then when she had sharp eyes and quick hands.

Downthrust, most satisfying attack skill of all time.

I don't think I've seen someone who makes NES walkthroughs as interesting as you do. Most walkthroughs are boring, you actually put some effort into it. Super impressed, sub from me.

It's like a classic game review and a guide all in one. I like it.

I beat this game tonight! I never thought I’d be able to do it, and it’s haunted me since I was a kid. Your strategy made all the difference. Thanks for bringing a little joy to this old man. FYI, played it on a retropie.

This game brings back so many memories. Wish I could go back to that time. No cares in the world other than adventure.

[Shadeogray]

This is my absolute favorite Zelda game. Grew up with it, beat it at age 7, and even today I use the randomizer to enjoy it again and again. Thanks for taking the time to honor it.

BONUS TIP for those still struggling with the game:. If you level all the way up (my spot is usually the block room in Palace 5 with the endless Moas) then crystal level-ups turn into 1-ups!

It’s Saturday night and I just beat this game for the first time in my life! Got this game 36 years ago. I feel like I’m in 6th grade again! The feeling crazy! Thank you for the walk through; without your tutorial I’d still be stuck trying to level attack and magic! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

It's going to be fun watching this channel grow into being a 100k+ subscriber success story.

Hold up, I never knew there was aquick save in this game. Ever. I spent so long trying to die to save not knowing this. I could have saved the game right there. This is very extensive for a tips vid. Your voice is engaging. It makes me wanna listen to what you have to say

[Cee_Nelly]

Dude that was awesome! Watched the entire thing from start to finish. Interesting thing is, your leveling strategy is exactly what I used as a kid as well as your strategy for shadow link! I remember being so frustrated fighting shadow link that I said "I'm gonna just crouch in the corner and attack because I tried everything and nothing works..." and that did it. LOL never forget that moment.

Because of that leveling strategy I never found this game hard. Miss the days when I could play video games all day LOL

[Terracronz]

7 minutes in and I’m already mind blown by your leveling strategy
Edit: glad to know I was always using the right power leveling spot
Last edit: using reflect against the thunder bird, did not know that

[mr.horseshoe]

One of the few games I never beat as a kid. Now I'm 40 and have COVID, so I'll use this downtime to finally conquer this game with this video's help! Thanks!

[kouheicoppola]

fun fact: if you can get an enemy to hit you as you move into those action sequences on the way to Darunia, you can bypass the action sequences with monster action sequences and avoid the water pits all-together

[jamesstaggs]

I loved it when I was a kid. It was the first time I'd been introduced to the concept of experience points and I loved the fact that I could make my character better if I just put more work into it.

There is something about this channel. I find it very nostalgic and fun to watch. Thanks for helping me remember all the good times, especially the names of everything lol. I do still play this game to this day tho. It was that impactful to me

[belangerpm]

One of my fav games of all time. I'm proud to say that I beat this one on original hardware without any help.

Notes:
Lizalfos are much harder to beat with the Ironknuckle strategy, since downward slashing hits don't always work. You can damage them a little more reliably with short ducking hops while slashing. Imagine trying to hit them between their low and high shield poses.
The "intended" way to defeat Fokkas is probably to upthrust them as they jump overhead, but the timing is tricky and it's easy to jump into them this way.
If you hit a statue and an Ironknuckle/Fokka comes out of it, so long as you don't kill it, if you leave the area and come back the statue will regenerate, and you can hit it again for another chance at a red magic potion.
The statues at the start of most palaces that might produce a red potion or Ironknuckle can be regenerated even if you kill the Ironknuckle simply by leaving the palace and returning.

It’s probably been over 30 years since I’ve played Zelda 2 and this makes me want to jump into it again. Great video!
