'''''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''''' is the direct sequel to {{TLoZ}}, both originally released on the [[Famicom Disk System]] in Japan and then the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in the US and PAL territories.  While retaining many of the features of its predecessor, ''The Adventure of Link'' altered certain elements of gameplay, most notably affecting movement and combat. Traveling across a large world map (not unlike those seen in the ''Final Fantasy'' series of video games) would lead to enemy encounters which took place on a side-scrolling field of play rather than the top down perspective for which the series became known.
