In middle school English class, I was asked to give an oral report about my greatest achievement. Beating Zelda 2 with no walkthrough was the one I chose, as none of my friends had beaten it by that point. I'll never forget how negatively that teacher reacted. "That's not an achievement!" she exclaimed after I gave the report, completely crushing all the work I had put into it. The grade she gave me made my own mom pretty angry, so she came into school to have a talk with the teacher. I wasn't in the room, but the teacher changed the grade after my mom was done chewing her out.

Oh yeah, I absolutely hate teachers who can't keep objectivity when grading papers. You can send in an 8th grade level report on something they enjoy and get an A, and a college level paper on how teacher's pay should be cut, and get a C- for your lack of insider knowledge.
Has anyone thought of how terrifying Link's 'Adventure' is? All of Gannon's minions are out for his blood. There are literally huge patrols of them roaming the wilderness searching for him. Every bridge, mountain pass, and cave has monster patrols. There's a graveyard in the game bigger than all the towns combined. And he has to defeat his own shadow at the age of what? Thirteen? Damn, he earned that triforce.
Woah I love it when ppl stop and think about things like this realistically. You've got a point there. When u put it that way, this game sounds terrifying haha
I feel bad for getting on the "Jared hate" band-wagon, I should of known better 😔, this cancel culture is bullshit, . . . I really hope Jared lands on his feet, I really hope he is still a part of DCA when it returns.
Trygve Plaustrum , yeah :D wish I could take part of it... but I live in Canada.. OK that was a lie. I live in Northern Europe... so I can't get it delivered here unless the expand to my Scandinavian Country :D
I've just realized something. Advertisements like the Blue Apron one in this video don't really bother me. They promote Video editors to make them interesting instead of appealing to some market. It's a way more charming way of advertising than, let's say, annoying banners on websites or something. Keep them interesting, Jared. They're great IMO. €: There's been some interesting points brought up. I personally really approve of the personal spin on it instead of an advertisement company trying their *utmost hardest* to get a friendly, clean and regular, normal ad out there. Having ProJared or PBG sell me on something is way more interesting since, well, they're whacky and I like that. Have a great day guys!
Yeah, a fair few content creators do this pretty well too (JonTron comes to mind, maybe a few others I'm not aware of). It makes the ads less invasive than just sticking in a generic read-off in the video or attaching banners. And even if they're not worth watching to someone, they're pretty easy to skip.
I don't mind any advert (as long as it's disclosed) but yeah, it's awesome when creators use them to enhance the comedy or whatever. Like, I'm actually genuinely intrigued by Blue Apron now.
I think that spot belongs to Links Awakening. Zelda 2 also gets unfair treatment but a lot of people dismiss Link's Awakening despite it introducing a lot of new things to the franchise. Things later games often take the credit for with the fans. Defense being an active thing instead of a passive shield, a story that doesn't have to do with Zelda or Ganon, A trading quest, and possibly other elements that have since been recurring, but people just ignore the fact they came from that game.
+42Caio (Caio Esteves) Yeah minibosses and the current dungeon structure too (dungeon using previous item/s->miniboss->get item->more dungeon that now uses the new item heavily->boss)
I've literally never seen anyone criticize Zelda 2. I thought all the criticism happened in the 90s, when the traditional Zelda formula was new and superior.
The names of the towns in Link's Adventure became the names of the sages in Ocarina of Time. Saria, Raoru, etc. (Or I guess the other way around, according to the timeline)
Projared before zelda 2 randomizer: its extremely linear During randomizer: -goes outside of zeldas palace and sees that the map is randomised- NOPE GOIN BACK INSIDE Tho to be fair that playthrough was one of my favorites, keep up the good work.
bigemugamer It was called Fresh cavatelli pasta. That particular meal wasn't our favorite, I thought it was ok, but my wife didn't care for it. Overall it is pretty good, I think we've only had like ~2 meals that we both didn't care for. And I find it helpful to learn techniques I wouldn't have thought of before, for ex cooking a fried egg in oil, contained it easier than nothing on the pan.
Truth Hurts or maybe you just suck at cooking. I'm not being rude I'm seriously saying it could be his you cook certain meals, though I've never tried the product.
And enemies that drain your Magic (The enemy he Pogo Jumps on at the end of the video for example). Also forgot to mention the NG+ mode where you can replay it with all your XP retained.
Yes. Not to mention that killing them gives you nothing. I don't even think they count towards the game's "kill five, get a potion" trigger that almost every enemy works off.
There's also that myth about the "I am Error" guy, him being completely pointless and very likely a bug, that everyone loves to spread. Come on, guys. You talk to someone in Mido town, he'll tell you to talk to "Error" about the King's Tomb, and Error will tell you to go south of the King's Tomb and that's how you find out how to get to level 3. Does that sound pointless to you?
Oh it gets better. The other common claim is that his name is a translation error, when in fact it's not; Bagu is. Bagu should be Bug. Yes, they're really called Bug and Error.

I'd really love to see Zelda 2 get a remake. I haven't seen any successful fan remakes so far and it would be a good opportunity to address most of it's issues and improve what it brings to the table. It's also clear that the famicons hardware limitations had drawbacks that held it back, an example being the long loading screens in the original NES version
Check the Mr. Luigi comment chat, apparently he's working on a remake. It might have been dormant for a while, but still, some people even offered to help with the pixel art.
I made a game that acts as a spiritual sequel to Zelda 2, with most of its flaws fixed and adding features from more modern Zelda games. Feel free to check it out :)
Personally, I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as a BAD Zelda game. Some are definitely better than others, but they are all still good. Except for the CDI titles.
Im with you on this. I have played all of the Console versions of Zelda and some of the Handheld versions. And i cant say any are bad. Some are better than others. But none of them are terrible.
at 3:25 ish the music from Zelda 2, Smash, and then Zelda 2 again lines up perfectly. Its the little details like this that really make jared's videos kick ass. :)
Zelda II is legitimately one of my favorites in the series. It's amazing and one of the best examples of Nintendo-hard games that were also completely fair.
VladNorris Honestly, I think game overs SHOULD punish you more than they usually do in Zelda games. But I suppose that's a different design philosophy debate. I absolutely 100% respect your opinion on this.
Well...BALANCE. I'm not saying modern Zelda games aren't super easy(the damage cap of enemies has been lackluster for quite a long while) or they don't need to be more punishing(Breath of the Wild is looking promising BECAUSE it looks far more punishing...among other things), I'm saying this one went overboard.(It's NOT fair challenge to be sent to the beginning of the fucking game when you get a game over in an adventure game. It's a buzzkill and isn't tied to challenging game design).
@MGTOW Hermit Get off your high horse, kid. You can't blame people for following human instinct and jumping on a band wagon. Its human nature. What matters is their ability to change.
Just thought I'd come by and apologize for participating in your cancellation. I'd known your name for some number of years, and finally started binging your Plays channel after running out of reviews the very week everything started going down, and I happened to be watching your ZII randomized playthrough because it's my favorite in that franchise. I think it was a TRO video that presented another case for you, and it wound up getting me thinking that I was too quick to just go along with the only side that was presented without even bothering to question anything. It's a lesson learned for me, and I think I'm gonna chill out with your ZII stuff tonight.
Zettai Ryouiki My wife and I looked into it a couple months ago. It's ridiculously expensive compared to just buying at a local store. It looks like good food, but it's something you can easily make yourself.
It caters to people who either don't have time to shop, don't know how to cook, don't know where to find fresh recipes, or all of the above. As someone who's cooked for himself since youth, I'm not fooled. I know enough about cooking and local stores that I can make myself a delicious steak and baked potato for less than $10.
12:15 in fact there is a technical reason for that. It is not even a game design choice at first. It comes from how the game was made in Japan. In the japanese version which plays on a disk the last dungeon is on a face of the disk while all the rest of the game is on another side. This is why it would have been impossible to reset Link to the begining of the game once you reach the last dungeon without asking the player to change the disk side and I guess they thought it would be annoying.
Dungeons are confusing and easy to get lost in sometimes, because at least a couple of times you have to jump through apparently solid walls (jump, not walk, because they have ledges that are above ground level) in order to progress with no indication that they're anything other than ordinary walls. At least in Zelda 1, LttP, OoT, and most other Zelda games, you have a general idea of where false walls are (cracks, only being in the center of dungeon walls, sword "tinks").
And what about that village hidden in an otherwise identical tile of the forest, that you have no hope of finding unless you methodically search every square?
In middle school English class, I was asked to give an oral report about my greatest achievement. Beating Zelda 2 with no walkthrough was the one I chose, as none of my friends had beaten it by that point. I'll never forget how negatively that teacher reacted.

The grade she gave me made my own mom pretty angry, so she came into school to have a talk with the teacher. I wasn't in the room, but the teacher changed the grade after my mom was done chewing her out.

I'd really love to see Zelda 2 get a remake. I haven't seen any successful fan remakes so far and it would be a good opportunity to address most of it's issues and improve what it brings to the table. It's also clear that the famicons hardware limitations had drawbacks that held it back, an example being the long loading screens in the original NES version
Check the Mr. Luigi comment chat, apparently he's working on a remake. It might have been dormant for a while, but still, some people even offered to help with the pixel art.
I made a game that acts as a spiritual sequel to Zelda 2, with most of its flaws fixed and adding features from more modern Zelda games. Feel free to check it out :)
@@Silbotronic I will, can you give me a link?
@@Mike14264 In my trailer video there should be a link in the description.
A creator by the name of Hoverbat essentially rebuilt Zelda 2 from the ground up in game maker
Jumping crouch stabs sound super deadly. It's a low attack that you have to stand up to block. The ultimate mix-up.
You forget about most important thing that we get from this game.
"I AM ERROR"
8:01 - That was such a flawless segue, I decided to watch the entire Blue Apron skit from beginning to end. Well played...
Same!
V. Joe *segue
V. Joe He looked like Steve Buscemi at that part of the video. I dunno why, he just does.
Same. But I still cringed
If other people would do that instead of just advertising it at the end, or worse, the beginning, I'd watch more ads.
8:45
THAT'S IT I've come up with a new recipe
FF 15 reference. Nice.
Recipeh*
joeslickback I could taste test for ya
Can’t wait to try it out

0:47 previously unreleased footage of ProJared stealing his career back
Lovely!😊😉😆
"...But you only go two directions."
Proceeds to show footage of Link going up
For some reason, I always love it in his intro when he swings around that game.
That glance at the camera at 8:30 was either cute or creepy, whichever.
Drag0n Tam3r crute
yes

Everybody 3 months ago taking a stab at Jared
ProJared deserves more subs.
and I gotta admit thats a pretty original place for the blue apron ad
5th wall games
Have you never watched TV before?
Whatever you're referencing, I live in australia, without Pay TV so if its about the Blue Apron ad then I havent seen it.
I'm referencing that's _exactly how_ they segue into ads/sponsor mentions on TV.
Personally, I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as a BAD Zelda game. Some are definitely better than others, but they are all still good. Except for the CDI titles.
Im with you on this. I have played all of the Console versions of Zelda and some of the Handheld versions. And i cant say any are bad. Some are better than others. But none of them are terrible.
I agree the worse Zelda game I still give a 7 out of 10.
Links crossbow training
Triforce Heroes was bad.......
+@@DemonChildCCI love that game
Hard game and welcome back jared your videos are funny to watch again
ANT MAN again?
the funniest thing in this video is his satisfaction in the transition he made, wether it was acting or on the spot
at 3:25 ish the music from Zelda 2, Smash, and then Zelda 2 again lines up perfectly.
Its the little details like this that really make jared's videos kick ass. :)
*reads description*
How could anybody dislike this game!? It's awesome!
DejaVoodooDoll the only thing i do not like is that everytime you die that you go back to zeldas castle
Jason Quiver when you get good at it its really fun and it's really fun eny way
I really liked Zelda 2. Then again, I also liked Castlevania 2, and we all know about that...
Then again, people think that Mega Man 2 is the best in the series, so what does anybody know about 2nd installments in NES games.
It would be the best if Mega Man 9 didn't exist.
Zelda 2 is an underrated classic. I'm glad you gave it an objective look, Jared.
My marathon of rewatching, liking, and commenting on every Jared video continues. Video 41
Your comments have become a little "Where's Waldo" game for me
When I see an iron knuckle, imma buckle up my pants...
Cause those bitches don't fuck adding when I kick on my Z target dance
You mean "fuck around" :p
Unless there's a joke there I'm missing?
*looks down* I'm sorry(꒦໊ྀʚ꒦໊ི )
I messed up(Auto Corrects a bitch)
is d&december going to happen again? i loved it last year
KodrisAwaken I'm seconding this question/request
Oh my god has it already been a year?!
On Twitch he said it would happen, but that it might be a bit different than last year.
Yeah, me too. I loved that, but I'm not sure how many other D&D games exist that he could cover.
Bring on D & December!
I don't like how link's sword is flesh-colored.
HashBandicoot To be fair, I'm pretty sure they only had like 3 colors to use on the sprite.
I don't like how my flesh is sword colored.
That is no sword.......😉
HashBandicoot it was zeldas sword. So he took it for good luck.
Welcome to the limitations of the NES
Keep up the positivity, people! And keep up the good work Jared.
I love your PFP!
Zelda II is legitimately one of my favorites in the series. It's amazing and one of the best examples of Nintendo-hard games that were also completely fair.
...except it wasn't completely fair. There IS bullshit design choices and the punishment for a game over is overkill.
VladNorris Honestly, I think game overs SHOULD punish you more than they usually do in Zelda games. But I suppose that's a different design philosophy debate. I absolutely 100% respect your opinion on this.
Well...BALANCE. I'm not saying modern Zelda games aren't super easy(the damage cap of enemies has been lackluster for quite a long while) or they don't need to be more punishing(Breath of the Wild is looking promising BECAUSE it looks far more punishing...among other things), I'm saying this one went overboard.(It's NOT fair challenge to be sent to the beginning of the fucking game when you get a game over in an adventure game. It's a buzzkill and isn't tied to challenging game design).
Yep. That and the fighting system are a large part of why I gave up on Zelda II rather quickly.
perfect blue apron ad in the middle. holy hell Jared you're a genius.
Why would anyone want to cancel this guy? His vids were, and still are, amazing! Can't wait for the next 1,000,000 sub special.
Alright, that segue way was actually pretty good. Kudos.
вєηנαмιℓℓιση That's only the wheeled transport thingy.
@@GreenDragon1234 stop it.
@MGTOW Hermit Get off your high horse, kid. You can't blame people for following human instinct and jumping on a band wagon. Its human nature. What matters is their ability to change.
@@gabrielbennett9053 If it's human nature to slander someone with no proof and believe it, then humanity must be fucked.
I agree it doesn't deserve the hate it gets Jared
4:05. Because I need to see this all the time.
People consider the Zelda series RPGs?
I never knew that. I always considered them action adventure games with puzzle solving elements.
Lol I loved the humor in this one. I'm particularly impressed with your jumping crouch stab. I could never.
One of his best reviews so far
Hallo fellow Hunter Slime :3
12:37 Link vs. Dark Link. *Persona 4's I'll Face Myself starts playing*
Try. Using the power glove to beat the game.
Like AVGN did xD
It's Vojin Gamer!
Still cannot believe, to this day, that he managed to land that plane.
Dear god....
+Vicvic W
It was probably Mike who landed the plane :p
Vicvic W
xD. Wow, 25 likes. Thats pretty good.
I love the world and characters of Zelda 2. I wish they will make a comeback.
I am glad you are able to recognize the beauty of Zelda II, it's undoubtedly one of my favorite games of all time.
Just thought I'd come by and apologize for participating in your cancellation. I'd known your name for some number of years, and finally started binging your Plays channel after running out of reviews the very week everything started going down, and I happened to be watching your ZII randomized playthrough because it's my favorite in that franchise. I think it was a TRO video that presented another case for you, and it wound up getting me thinking that I was too quick to just go along with the only side that was presented without even bothering to question anything. It's a lesson learned for me, and I think I'm gonna chill out with your ZII stuff tonight.
Congrats on being a good person.
The Ironknuckles are fun until you find the blue ones. Then hello dark souls!
Really though, they spam them after the first is a miniboss.
ahahaha yea the blue ones are assholes
More like Salt and Sanctuary.
Dude, those guys are brutal. And if you run away from them, they chase after you, frantically trying to stab you in the ass.

Blue Apron looks interesting, but it's way more expensive than just buying ingredients at a grocery store.
Yeah, could just easily go out and buy shit in bulk and get recipes online
or improvise at home
Zettai Ryouiki My wife and I looked into it a couple months ago. It's ridiculously expensive compared to just buying at a local store. It looks like good food, but it's something you can easily make yourself.
Not only that but the first "three meals" = one shipment
It caters to people who either don't have time to shop, don't know how to cook, don't know where to find fresh recipes, or all of the above.
As someone who's cooked for himself since youth, I'm not fooled. I know enough about cooking and local stores that I can make myself a delicious steak and baked potato for less than $10.
minish cap = underrated
Is it? General consensus i hear of it is usually that's it#s really good. Haven't really read anyone who didn't like Minish cap.
Minish cap is veey bad
Not a Pinecone no I love it it is amazong
Amazing *dang autocorrect*
Don Quijote sarcasm?
Awwww ye Jared its that time of year!
12:15 in fact there is a technical reason for that. It is not even a game design choice at first. It comes from how the game was made in Japan. In the japanese version which plays on a disk the last dungeon is on a face of the disk while all the rest of the game is on another side. This is why it would have been impossible to reset Link to the begining of the game once you reach the last dungeon without asking the player to change the disk side and I guess they thought it would be annoying.
The comments are all from 2 years ago, 3 months ago, or the last week
Apparently, Lizardcube (the developers who gave us the superb Wonderboy 3 remake) wants to do remakes of Zelda 1 and 2!
Fingers crossed!!
Ooh, I would so adore something like that... especially if they get the same artist back for the graphics. :)
I'd love to see that! Greenlight it now, Nintendo!
Dungeons are confusing and easy to get lost in sometimes, because at least a couple of times you have to jump through apparently solid walls (jump, not walk, because they have ledges that are above ground level) in order to progress with no indication that they're anything other than ordinary walls. At least in Zelda 1, LttP, OoT, and most other Zelda games, you have a general idea of where false walls are (cracks, only being in the center of dungeon walls, sword "tinks").
And what about that village hidden in an otherwise identical tile of the forest, that you have no hope of finding unless you methodically search every square?
Metroid on the NES had many secret walls & floors to get through, so I don't think it's unreasonable to have similar secrets in Zelda 2
