Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Zelda II - Part 2

This hack is a continuation of the original Zelda II. It was created with one goal in mind, and that is to provide a challenge. Fortunately, there are 3 patches available to download: Easy, Medium, and Hard. This way, if you don’t like challenging games, you will have other options to select from.

It will feel like a new game. Most of the overworld has been changed as well as the 7 palaces. There are all new puzzles in every single area of the game and some of them will most likely get you stumped! If you like Zelda II, then you will definitely like this hack.

-Introduction-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am the_icepenguin and this is my very first hack. I worked on this hack
for 4 months, literally non-stop, making it complete and giving it the
best quality I could. I thank you all for playing my version of Zelda II
and I hope you enjoy what I have created...if it be easy or hard.

Have fun!!!

-Updates-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 I created an easy version of my hack. Thats all.

1.2 I fixed the door you enter, to get the downstab, in the easy version.
You can now enter it.

1.3 A major bug that didn't allow you to enter Death Mountain, after
beating the 1st palace, was fixed. (In both Versions)

Easy version has been made slightly easier. Mostly palaces though.

1.4 This is a big update. In both versions, some parts that were
almost impossible to pass, are fixed and not so rediculous. :)

Basically, both versions were made easier.

1.5 I fixed quite a bit. I found another major bug in Death Mountain.
In order to fix the bug, I had to switch the hammer and glove.

I also fixed some puzzles in the last palace(s).

1.6 This one is a difficulty update. I found a few more spots that made
made the game almost impossible.

Oh wait! There was a major bug found in palace 5. I fixed that in
both versions.

1.7 This is it! I went through the whole game looking for bugs or things
that could be made better.
I have checked the game inside and out. :)

This time I fixed a few more puzzles to make them easier.(Mostly in
the Great Palace.)

I also changed some text so it would go along with the game.

There were A LOT of minor imrovements in this update.

1.8 There is a new Easy version. The old Easy version is now Medium.
1.9 I didn't think there would be another update! Oh well. There is a
major bug in Palace 1 that would allow you to get stuck inside a
wall. And because the room that causes this bug is also used in
Palace 3 and 5, it is a pretty serious bug!
I fixed them though, in all versions!

==========================================================================
==========================================================================
NOTE:I decided to make three versions of my hack: Easy, Medium, and Hard.
I did this so that more people would be able to enjoy my hack. They all
play the same except for a few differences.

-About the Easy Version-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The title screen has the same old sword from the original game. :(

Your sword is very strong!

Enemies have a lot more HP. (And because your sword is strong in this
version, they will be too easy to kill.)

Some magic costs less MP.

The cave south of Zelda's Castle is now accessible at the beginning of
the game. Go check it out!

The Up and Down stabs are in this version.

-About the Medium Version-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's in between?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


-About the Hard Version-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The title screen has an all-new sword. :)

Your sword is very weak!

Enemies have a lot more HP. (And because your sword is weaker in this
version, they will be harder to kill.)

Some magic costs more MP.

I added a fun secret to ONLY this version but I'm not going to say what!
You will like it though, once you see it. Alright, I'll tell you...
There is a suprise near the end of the game. But only if you get there
with your magic stat at level 1...

The Up and Down stabs are NOT in this version.
