I'm glad you see it too. There are actually plenty of gamers like us who rate Adventure of Link as "greatly under-rated."

There are a few 2D side-scrolling combat online games out there, but I'm not sure of any weapons based ones, other than pure Street Fighter-type games.</p> Cool. I’m glad you see it too.

I was just playing the GBA version of Zelda II on the DS just today. It just doesn’t get old.

Too bad more players couldn’t see the quality this gem had to offer.

This is mainly because there are some other games with interesting swordplay (the fencing event in Epix's Summer Games for Commodore 64 is the first that comes to mind, others include Bushido Blade and maybe, ---maybe---, Soul Calibre).</p> I backpeddled a bit and editted my key statement to: “[Zelda 2 is] the video game that has the most interesting swordplay, as far as I am aware.” This is mainly because there are some other games with interesting swordplay (the fencing event in Epix’s Summer Games for Commodore 64 is the first that comes to mind, others include Bushido Blade and maybe, —maybe—, Soul Calibre).

It makes sense now. It has been a really long time since I've actually played it. I woulnd't mind playing it again. I just don't want to have to play it as a ROM.</p> Well, I always sort of wondered why exactly you rated Zelda II so high. It makes sense now.
