[@jasonball3496]

Adam Perry What?

[@shroomie108]

@@jasonball3496 when you grab a crystal at the end of every palace in this game it automatically fills your experience to the max for your next experienc cap. Meaning if you grab it with 10/500 it will give you 490 exp but if you grab it at 490/500 it will give you 10 exp. So when you are 10exp away it makes more sense to farm for 10 exp before you grab the crystal since grabbing the crystal is basically a free level up. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@Saanail]

@@jasonball3496 When you put a crystal into its pedestal at the end of a temple, you get a full level. This means if he did it with 10 exp left, he would gain 10 exp. If you do it with 8000 exp left, you gain 8000 exp. It would be a huge waste to not just go kill 5 blobs before setting it.

I watched for 20 minutes and realized I NEED to play the rest blind. That was awesome, thank you.

[@Nick-jb4xi]

I"m not saying you need spoilers, but games back then were a group activity. Even a single player game like this, we'd trade off and take turns. Also, having a second pair of eyes meant seeing some details a lone person would miss. Or ask questions that you didn't think of. Watching this stream, I noticed some things Poo didn't, because he was looking at other things at the time.

[@Zorafin]

Finishing a dungeon finishes off your level. A strat speed runners use is to level, say, sword up very high and keeping the others low. Then before you finish a dungeon, grind up enough experience so you go past your lowest stats so that when you get the end of dungeon bonus, you get thousands of experience.

[@S4BFast]

Oh man, as a speedrunner of this game, this is both painful and amazing to watch.

[@QueirozVini]

It has some serious game design flaws, but it's a good game

[@LudaChez]

It definitely does not hold your hand. It's difficult and rewarding... But at the time games were like this. People were very critical of it since it's not like the first at all. Now when you compare all games in the series it's nothing like any of them so it gets a bad rap. But what made BotW so good to me is it didn't really hold your hand and it was relatively difficult in the beginning. If people gave this game a chance I think it would be much more loved. I like games that are more difficult. This game scared me when I was eight years old and Gannon would laugh at you.... Ugh....

[@QueirozVini]

Not just death mountain... But the fact that you have to go through a dark cave to get the candle is just counter-intuitive and nonsense. Also, there is simply no way to know if you can use a magic power or not, since the cost in numbers is not intuitive at all to convert to bars, which is the only feedback you have. And this is only from this first video. There is some other odd stuff later in the game. And most other games released before this one (including the first LoZ) didn't present these flaws. These are some basic game design stuff. I'm not even discussing the difficulty curve, as it was standard at that time; or the random encounters as it was just an (failed) experiment - imho. But really, it's a very good game, and highly underrated. Consider it a much less forgiving 2D retro Dark Souls, ignore the design flaws, and you'll have a blast!

[@Paull2]

"Get candle in Parapa castle. Go west." Such a misleading clue, too, lol.

[@CaptainCocaine]

@@QueirozVini Having to traverse a dark cave before having the candle wasn't a flaw. It shows you how scary the unknown is. You can't see what's hitting you until you come back with the candle and find out you were freaked out over a single roly-poly thing. It was brilliant game design.

Downward strike makes it easier and i max life and attack asap esp with death mountain so early. It is aptly named

[@doopness785]

The Iron knuckles are only hard to hit if you keep your feet on the ground. You you keep trying to land jump attack they are rather easy to deal with. There's a few pixels on his forehead that his shield can't block. And if your timing is late and you do hit the shield the Iron knuckle is pushed back and you don't take a hit.

Zelda 2 is the best NES Zelda game, its a fun hard. Anyone that dislikes it though i can see why but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[@stevenburas3647]

This was my Achilles Heal. I was a 7 year old and this game was about as challenging as it gets. The Death Mountain map was extremely confusing. I remember actually mapping it out on paper as back then there was nothing more than Nintendo Power, which I never subscribed to. However, to this day, it is one of my all time favorites. Once day I will tackle all the others either with my children as they get old enough or as an old man, looking to complete portions of his bucket list. :)

"In Midoro Swamp is a Handy Glove" .. Did you ever end up going to Midoro Swamp? Or did you just skip it and go straight to Death Mountain?

[@larstallinger6795]

He went straight to death mountain. Personally I usually also go for death mountain myself because it is the path to the down stab which makes the game so much more playable. He of course had no idea what he was doing but I do it on purpose. Also, I was so sad when turned back from the red axe guy the first time. To make it worse he needs to get past one to get the actual hammer too so he needs to learn how to handle them or how to avoid them. Still enjoyed the watch though. The Midoro swamp place with the power glove is actually the Midoro swamp palace. The second palace. It has a funny trap in a lava floor room that will most likely catch him unaware too.

[@caesaria]

he probably would have died trying to take that hammer guy fight with his health and magic that low, it's not like he's a pro at killing them

[@larstallinger6795]

@@caesaria If he knew what he was doing he could have taken the right path after death mountain. As long as he saves two jump spells for the bridge he can get over it and reach the 4th town which has the down stab. Axe men have no head protection so you can kill them a lot easier or just bounce past them. It takes a bit of extra time but nothing compared to beating death mountain over and over. I said it in another comment here but the biggest difficulty in the game is not knowing the terrain.

[@RichFreeman]

I think he would have had an easier time of death mountain if he didn't keep skipping level ups. It can make sense to do that, but not if you grab a bunch of p bags and then game over three times at 700/800 xp or whatever. It is like weakest link, sometimes the smart move is to bank it...

This is where being a practiced speedrunner is a disadvantage. There are so many nooks and crannies that you need to explore to aid you in your progress.

[@nobodyimportant2470]

How being a practiced speed running a disadvantage? Practiced speed runners don't pick up a random game and blase through it cold. They play though a game normally many times to learn how to play it fast by taking the optimal route and memorizing enemy attack patterns. It is also why speed run records have notes on optional power ups they grabbed.

[@pigs18]

@@nobodyimportant2470 Sorry, I should have said Kaizo player. You are correct on the distinction. Kaizo players are more focused on getting from Point A to Point B as anything else is usually death.

[@ghostfaceknuts]

LOL. 1. You need to master the jump-duck sword strike. Jump, aim for the head and go straight into a crouch and strike. One fluid move. When you get the downstrike and upstrike continue to jump-duck. Jump Blade up, Blade down and duckstrike 2. Never leave an area without exploring every bush, path and cave.

[@Zorafin]

Death Mountain is the worst part of the game. I feel like it gets way better after you get past it, but my god. It is way too hard for something so early on. Go back into that cave west of the exit of the maze with those statues and that impossible axe guy. That gives you a shortcut from the entrance to the rest of the world, making the game way more playable. Plus it gives you secrets and stuff. And...I feel like you should have the downward thrust already? It's in one of the towns. I think it requires using the Jump spell to reach a door on a ceiling, or going down a chimney, or something.

[@jackcurtin9438]

It's pretty painful to see him turn around RIGHT when he's about to get the Hammer... And see him go into all the places except THE ONE PLACE he actually needs to go. I'm probably being too hard on him though if he's a new player, and he seems like a REALLY nice, cool dude... I just know how much effort it takes to get to certain places, and to see him jump over the statue with the crystal in Palace 1, or leave the room with the very essential Hammer only to go pointlessly wandering around a very dangerous graveyard, us kinda infuriating... But then again I can't stop watching!! I hope the game starts going better for him!!

[@ExiledBowser]

You were supposed to go into the woman's home in the first town you visited for a magic spell. Where she says, "Go inside before you leave." gives you shield spell (basically a lv 2 shield + defense and blocks stuff better especially fire projectiles) The skull guys (anti fairies) can be killed, but take many many hits they are worth 50 XP each

[@TheTolnoc]

I don't think it's bad, as much as it's unconventional, so it's counter to what a normal Zelda player would enjoy.

God, I was just waiting until he encountered the Daira (Alligator Men in Death Mountain)... and it did not disappoint. The Red ones are one of the hardest enemies in the game. The orange ones are actually super easy with the right attack rhythm... although their damage if you mess up that timing is punishing.

Same here. It´still one of my fav games and it was so innovative,

[@pjcollects]

I love this game, but it is incredibly frustrating, mainly because of two things. If they had changed those two aspects, the game would be SO much improved: 1. When you game over, you don't lose all your exp. 2. When you game over, you don't start all the way back at the starting palace. Actually, if they just got rid of the stupid extra life/game over system, and just have you start back at the beginning of a cave/palace when you die, that would solve both. That's actually how I play it now. I beat it a year or so ago on the 3DS virtual console and just would save state when entering a palace or cave. If I game over'd, I'd just reset the save state back to the beginning of the palace. I don't have time for all that backtracking and grinding.

[@DoomRater]

There are typically three places you can enter in each town where you are invited in by townspeople, just for reference.

Zelda 2 was one of my favorites growing up on the NES, probably because I started with it first before getting the first Legend of Zelda. Didn't have Nintendo Power at the time, just got my tips from the playground circle of friends. One tip I've always used on those Iron Knuckles like the one you fought at 12:41. Get yourself in a narrow passage way like you were under, with just a little room for a small jump, and just jump towards him and slash at his head. Back up after each blow if you need to avoid taking damage. A lot quicker than trying to outmaneuver each other's shield.

I've been waiting for this to show up on KZbin. After giving this game another shot since its Switch release, I've come to ADORE it. It's such a rewarding game and there really isn't much RNG to worry about. All combat is 100% skill based and the strategies you develop to deal with enemies will determine how well you will do in this game. It's so good. Also, I had no Idea you could keep talking to the purple bot and he would tell you where to find Bagu. That's another thing that I think people give this game crap for that it doesn't deserve. Yes, there is lots of hidden stuff that you wonder how you're supposed to know, but the game does give you a hint for everything. It really teaches you to talk to everyone.

[@rmfgotenks28]

Few tips: Respawning enemies are your friends. Not the ones that keep appearing and give you no points but the ones that come back when you scroll past their area and come back. Those little red and blue blobs for example. Every sixth enemy you kill will always drop either a Magic Jar or a bag of points. You need this tactic later to keep that magic meter full.Level up everything as soon as you can. Even if you feel like you don't need it, you will. And your points go back to zero when you die so use them if you got them.After getting Down Thrust it will get easier, but you will die. When that does happen go through Death Mountain again every time you start up. The more points the better.And finally you will find three Link Dolls in this game that act as extra guys. One is inside one of the Palaces but the other two don't get until you head to the final Palace. You will need them. Otherwise have fun.

[@ogeidnomar4601]

There are 6 Link dolls

[@rmfgotenks28]

@ogeid nomar I actually found the other three since doing this post. Also, I get the item but not beat the boss. After everything is all the way leveled up, go back to the first Palace. Every Crystal you return is an automatic level up, and if your levels are maxed out, that's an extra guy. So with the 6 Link dolls and the 6 Palaces that's 12 extra guys before you get to the final Palace.

[@ExiledBowser]

I can't believe you backed out of the final cave for the hammer. Also break the rock near the hammer cave for an extra magic container.

after watching this, it makes sense to go through dungeon 1 many, many, many times farming EXP. you probably gain 2-300 EXP a pass on that dungeon, and after getting the crystal you can't go in anymore

[@zottel8]

yes, im so excited^^ edit after watching: omg, seeing you suffering through death mountain was so painfull but also hilarious^^ to be fair, its one of the notorius most hard places in the game, cause you get there so early without beeing buffed to much, so you did fine for not knowing anything about it xD

[@CesarCordova]

Best Zelds ever. Instant like.

I've been watching you for years and liked the videos, but now I may be in love.

i loved this game as a kid cause my older brother got to the first boss and kept dying and gave me the controller on the last life and i proceeded to get him down to his last life bar before my bro took the controller back just so he could say he killed the boss

This is the first game I ever played and beat back when it came out!

It's hard as hell, but it's the Zelda that got me into the series, along with an illustrated story version of it I got at school, off a sale table. I'll still play it occasionally, and LoZ is still my favorite video game franchise.
