The Development & Legacy of Zelda II Revisited

Season 2 Revisited

 

This week we're revisiting Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I briefly discuss the history of Zelda II and its ongoing legacy. 

 

Legendary Adventures is a Legend of Zelda playthrough podcast. I’m exploring the evolution of the Zelda game series by playing through each game in release order, excluding spin-off releases.
