Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Difference between revisions

'''''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''''' (リンクの冒険, ''Rinku no Bouken'') is the direct sequel to ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', both originally released on the [[Famicom Disk System]] in Japan and then the [[NES]] in the US and PAL territories.  Whilst 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 (and indeed used across Nintendo games from ''Zelda'' through to ''Pokémon'' and even ''[[Animal Crossing]]'').  This alteration to the series perspective caused some dispute amongst fans, divided whether the gameplay changes were appropiate or not, and has not been emulated since in any other [[:Category:2D games|2D ''Zelda'' title]].
