This is a demonstration video I've put together to show some of the more convenient ways to gather experience points in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

This game is known for its brutal difficulty. It is easily one of the hardest games on the NES and makes its sister titles look like child's play in comparison. Fortunately, I've managed to devise a few ways to throw a wrench into this unforgiving adventure and I'm sharing them with all of you!

I've been planning this video for a while now, and I've put a substantial amount of work into it. I hope that everyone who watches this can appreciate the hours of time I've dumped into it, because it's really all for you guys. :)

Why did I do this? Well, Zelda II is actually one of my most favorite titles in the entire Zelda franchise (gee, who didn't see that coming?), and I think it's a damn shame that it's one of the least loved just because it's different and punishingly hard.

I am hopeful that everyone being victimized by this game that sees this video will be enlightened and will be able to rise up and finally conquer Zelda II and enjoy it as thoroughly as I have over the years.
