Since the site lacked a second quest Longplay, I decided to jump on it. The second quest can be played by either completing the game (a little easier said than done) or by entering "Zelda" as a file name. I do the latter (and tool assisted it. :3). I abuse the save trick (go to item menu and press Up and A on second controller...don't care if combination is wrong. I am too lazy to look up while typing this and GameFAQs exist for a reason.) and a glitch that involves getting full health upon restarting a game (visit a Fairy Fountain, go to item menu and activate save trick. Upon loading file, health should refill to full.) If Rupee counter is all of a sudden at 255, I abused save states and the money making game.
Follow the adventure of Zelda as he goes around Hyrule to collect some golden triangles to fight a pig named Gannon.
For most, if not all of the dungeons, I just bumrush it without getting Dungeon Map and/or Compass. I have a map to "plot" my path of least resistance (or a path for moar keys. Iunno).
Notes:
-Beginning: Some item collecting, mainly money. I get the Magical Shield to make Level 1 SLIGHTLY easier.
-Level 1: Stalfo shoot swords. Dungeon is bumrushed. If it helps, the dungeon is the shape of an "E".
-After Level 1: I nab the White Sword. Nothing else I can do.
-Level 2: Gibdos and dat HP.
-After Level 2: I haz recorder. I go all over Hyrule getting money from secret spots and getting the Blue Ring afterwards. I pick up 2 Heart Containers.
-Level 3: Bumrushed. Could've cleared dungeon quickly but I wanted the Magical Boomerang. Dungeon is a "L".
-Level 4: Another dungeon bumrushed. This time, Darknuts make me RAEG!! White Sword is apparently pathetic. Raft is cleverly hidden. Dungeon is a "D".
-Level 5: It was this dungeon that made me stop playing the second quest for about a month. Goddamn Wizzrobes. The stack o' Pancakes may or may not make it harder (Magical Shield block Wizzrobe blasts, Like-likes eat shields. Perfect combination for raegquit.) I did clear it once, but I didn't have enough keys for Level 6. After that, I stopped playing again. Dungeon is a "Z".
-After Level 6: I grab the Magical Sword. It should make my life easier.
-Level 7: Can't stop here. This is Darknut country. Magical Sword makes it slightly easier. Blue Darknuts are spammed to make me raeg. Somehow, I didn't raeg on this dungeon, despite my pure hatred towards them.
-Level 8: At least this dungeon is easy since it is filled with Goriyas (the bubbles are there to make it hard. Magic Rod is now useful for once.).
-Level 9: I refuse to be a Wizzrobe's bitch. No bad run-ins with the Pancake monster. I wanted to clear this quickly. -

This entire video can be summarized with one sentence.
"How the f*** were you supposed to figure that out?"
And without internet
@@poundu27 Oh, yeah, good luck going through this in 1986 or '87...
back in the day we played without net. we pushed and bombed and burned every square of that map
I remember spending hours looking for the entrance to that 9th dungeon. I kept placing bombs everywhere and then suddenly one Saturday morning, there it was.
This is on a whole other level than the first quest. Although cryptic, there are clues to all the dungeon entrances, except the eight dungeon but you're supposed to to burn a bush that's in your way so it's kind of obvious. All the random secrets that leads to heart containers and the magic sword are optional even though it makes the game easier to beat if you find them. All the dungeons have some logical layout and you can beat them and find the items if you just look at the maps and visit every room. Now enter the second quest, and suddenly the bracelet is mandatory to find, you have to play the flute in random places, you have to walk through walls in the dungeons, even after you find the triforce and also bomb the least obvious places in the overworld. And that's coming from someone who grew up with the game and played it all his life.
Holy Crap to the 2nd Quest! That thing is a beast and WAY more cryptic than the original. I can't even fathom how lost I would have been or the amount of time wasted on burning every tree or bombing every wall. I would have definitely never found at least 5 of the dungeons and missed every single Whistle Secret or Dungeon just based off of playing it by Quest 1 standards. My jaw is dropped.
Isn’t it fucking awesome? Just blow your whistle on every frame. And yes, it takes forever to find all that shit without cheats. I love these cryptic games. Wish they still made em like this. Nintendo needs to come back out with 8 bit and new games. I’m serious. They’d sell like crazy

💯
Htpti [i.e., (May) Peace & Blessings be unto You]
I grew up through this and it was awesome!! Nintendo power was a Godsend middle aged women were beating the second quest without cheats it was a crazy time 😂
I like how it says , "End of The Legend of Zelda 1" They knew this was going to be a big series.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that.
I think the guy was playing on the Famicom cartridge re-release, when even Link's Awakening was out.
Basically Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 were developped in parallel ;)
Actually I thought it was because theres a second quest on the first zelda
Zelda 2 only came out 11 months later, so they were probably planning it when finishing Zelda 1.
I fell in love with this game when it came out! So wonderful, so innovative, so creative! Today, 30 years later, i'm still in love with this game and with this franchise!
So I am in the middle of making a console and I’m thinking about porting every single Zelda game onto it (except the CDI games)
@Frogger then why did you even click on this video? much less take the time to put your negative comments in here? I wish I could be cool like you and shit on everything other people like
Also, I keep getting flashbacks to 20-25 years ago, it is
a strangely nostalgic, yet sad feeling. Knowing that, I'll never
feel that way again, that innocent simplicity...o god
+BronzNazareth Yep and even sadder is one day you might not be able to remember what you are commenting on that you remember.... and after that well who knows.
You aren't dead yet. There's always a chance.
@@michaelwestmoreland2530 Thanks bro, still hanging in there. That's all we can do, yes? :)
Play the game. Get a classic NES mini for like $30 from China. I feel a bit like that kid. It was a lot more work and required a lot of determination. My college girlfriend's little brother was playing this game the first time I saw it, and he was making a map of the overworld with what was in every grid and you could see how they were connected. I go to something now and then am like where the fuck was that and either can't remember or refind it. I think I made a map too. So, it took a long time, but that probably made it quicker. A truly ridiculous amount of work went into this. Crazy how much easier it is if you find an extra heart container and the next sword and have twice the damage. Anyway, try taking a break and playing it.
Do you feel older knowing this comment is 10 years older?
The Zelda series to this day is still in my opinion the greatest video game series ever!!!! I was 11 years old when the first Zelda game came out and I loved how there was no way that you can beat the game in just a few hours or days. This was all before the internet so you could not have a guide to where you had to go. You had to think about every location on what to do. That is what I have always loved about this series is that you had to think about your every move. I remember it was Spring break on my 7th grade year and my goal was to beat this game. I stayed awake over three days and I finally beat it the first quest that is. I still have never Bea the second quest and maybe one day when I have time I will at least attempt to.
Absolutely cannot believe I beat this back in the day with no help. I discovered going through the wall by accident.
what I love in this game is how you can hear the boss monster's roar a room or so before you actually see it. Really great stuff and as a small kid it gave me goosebumps and made me scared to venture on. Newer zeldas ain't nothing on the classic one, here Link is atleast treated as a hero and not as a little kid.
BOTW is good but it’s no original
Of course your comment was when I was still with my wife lmao

It amazes me how Nintendo is able to make 20 games in the same series while keeping each one unique and different. Probably the best game series in the world!
I often wonder how the hell they managed to translate "Look for the Key of Lions" to "10th enemy has the bomb"...
Yeah about that... if you had the manual, let alone look at the master key sprite, it has the lion head on it... lol
@@adventureoflinkmk2 did you even read the comment you just replied to
@@adventureoflinkmk2 well, replied to 2 years ago
If this was the first quest there would be a lot less people loving this game.
"you have an amazing wisdom and power" oh translations between games back then, how i love you nintendo.
Awesome video! I know a lot of people won’t believe me but I beat the first quest back in the 80s without a guide, map, or anything! We were poor so all of our games either came from pawn shops, second hand, or used. So none of them ever had guides or anything. The most frustrating part of my LOZ game was it didn’t save consistently like it was supposed to. I once got all the way to level 9 and it froze up. I was so mad! At any rate I finally beat it felt like the accomplishment of a lifetime!
Also a true story: I had no idea the second quest even existed until the mid 90s(again I didn’t have guides or anything). But by that point I had already moved on to Super Nintendo, sega genesis, etc. When I learned the second quest existed I popped it into my NES and tried it. Boy oh boy was it a rude awakening. I think I got through maybe the 2nd dungeon and gave up lol. The “moment” had kind of passed. At any rate you’ve got me to thinking about going back and trying it again(as a 40 year old).
At any rate I wonder if there’s anyone out there that has ever completed the 2nd quest without any type of guide? Seems impossible but who knows?
Awesome channel! Gained a subscriber!
In the original on the NES, you had to die before you could save. Also, at the end after you beat the 1st quest, it tells you to press start for the 2nd quest. If you pay attention in this play through, you will notice it's patched together from multiple attempts. After the saves, you can see differences in how many rupees or bombs he has each time. They seem to vary a lot.
That's the way it was done before the Internet.
What people don’t realize is back in the day you’d figure things out by sharing secrets with your friends and other people who played the game. You’d draw maps, write down clues, and search everywhere. It would take you months to beat this game. It was amazing back then and still is today.
I like how there's a slight change in the sound of the music when Link's down to one or half a heart. Obviously, I nor any other gamer looks forward to this. Just something to notice. I never beat the second round. Nice playthrough and thanks for the upload.
ZELDA Second Quest
0:17:30 White Sword
0:18:07 Fairy
0:55:44 Level 5
1:25:38 Level 8
1:39:22 Level 9
1:39:51 Silver Arrows
1st quest I died from the octorocks in the screen to the right after grabbing the sword, and attempting to take my usual starting route, 2nd quest was way more complicated, but looking everywhere for hours for all items I died countless times still hard as can be. This was using the ROM and PS4 controller, cant beat the original is alot easier because I had my advantage controller, and the original nes controller😁
80s best time to be a kid. 90s best time to be a teenager!
So true...
That’s sums up how old I am.
Then the 2000s hit
I have to agree with you there, bud.
Class of
97 right here
Every time I play this game in the dark when I'm at the dungeon, the music always scares me.
Oh my god bro. you are a god for doing this. couldn't even get to the 3rd dungeon in master quest, and you did the ENTIRE GAME! this video is a life saver.
hyrule seems to have a geriatric crime wave going on. Old men extorting rupees out of passing adventuers
"Leave your life or money" is the most blatant example.
"My racketeering is more important than your quest to save all of Hyrule. Pay up"
I always thought as a kid typing Zelda as your name broke the game. I never new until this year it was a second game. I just thought it was some crazy glitch
Thank you for uploading the second quest playthrough. I will play it soon once I play it on my Wii VC.
IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY.
You’re not kidding with the 5th dungeon.
Lost at least 3 shields and those wizzrobes + sword paralyzing ghosts are a goddamn nightmare.
genericsavings the red ones take you sword away, and the blue restores it again ;)
4th dungeon is pretty damn frustrating if I may say so myself
Unbelievable! Dungeons 7-9 would have been extremely difficult to beat. The story of the 2nd quest is that they finished the game and (unbelievably by 1986 standards) had half the cartridge left, so they just made a second, more difficult version of the game! i loved watching this as I knew very few of the 2nd quest's secrets (or dungeon locations) and just enjoyed it all.
More difficult than the "second" quest of the first Super Mario Bros., which was only so because of more enemies and reduced platform sizes.
This was VERY helpful! Thank you for uploading to YT!
"MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS."
This is what the Sheikah text in Breath of the Wild translates to when the Guidance Stone distills a rune or map information onto the Sheikah Slate.
Second quest is deliciously trolly. Very clever for a game of its time.
Always get the ladder from level 6 before you get to 5. You can get the magic sword and it makes 5 more manageable
How to get 2nd quest early
Name yourself Zelda (many people who use to think link was Zelda probably named there self zelda getting the 2nd quest and thinking it’s the stock game)
What does stock game mean?
@@animatedmaskboy325 the original game, so the "first" quest
i love the 80's
Finally! I have never heard of anyone beating the second quest!
The definition of CLASSIC!
Best NES game and one of the best games of any system ever.
I still remember when I beat master's quest. I couldn't do it in the NES because the system was obsolete, so I had to beat it in the Gamecube edition
I can beat 1st Quest without much difficulty, but 2nd Quest is when things get really hard, every single dungeon. I strongly recommend get the Blue Ring and other upgrades as soon as possible. Looking back at the original Zelda, it was revolutionary for '86, no doubt, but it didn't age well. Link to the Past polished it up.
A Link to the Past was the first actually good Zelda game (at least for me)
@@id-f8679 I do like the original Zelda, but I agree LTTP is the first of great Zeldas.
There are bombs left when you kill a single enemy, then there are bombs left that appear once you've killed ALL the enemies in that room. When the bomb is left behind, you will here a five note jingle being played. This indicates that the bomb or whatever treasure will REMAIN there until you take it. With that said....it's best to leave the bomb there and only get it when you truly need it. If your bomb count has met capacity, then it's a waste picking it up. (after killing all enemies)
*hear* ,not here. 🤣
Some longplay! You skipped half of the first dungeon!
Great you took this game, the legend of zelda surely becomes an inmortal legend!
I really hated the blue wizzrobes more than any other enemy.
wish game producers would make some classic style games like this
theres a thing called the Binding of Isaac
You want cryptic bullshit and games that you can't actually progress in without a guide
@@bt3743 you think we used a guide in Zelda?
so is everyone enjoying the constant beeping of the no hearts its really joyful
Love how about the 40 minute mark the snakes (Ropes) have an eerie blue transparency
MUCH TRANKS WORLD OF LONGAPLAYS , TRANKS YOU I CAN FINALLY THIS GAME ,CONGRATULATIONS NDVMP
See 2:50. When Link stabs his sword near the sea, does it sound like the sea ambient sound cuts out?
Yeah, older games had to have 1 sound effect at a time.
Press START during gameplay to bring up the Items screen, then press UP and SELECT to access the save options screen. Then, hold RESET on the console and press the POWER button (while still holding RESET) to save your game.
I’m on my Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately I can’t 😩
Thank u I playing on my wii
"8" - gotta love that in the title roll.
21:55 This was beyond ABSURD and unfair. I was able to finish the whole game after watching this cuz I didnt know you could walk THROUGH walls.
Oh well, time to beat *Gannon.*
Zelda II isn't bad, it's just hard, REALLY Hard.
It is harder than the first but doesn’t seem to be as cryptic imo
Doesn't anyone know the levels 1-5 say ZELDA in a random order?
Sonny D. Yes
Yeah, I always wondered what was up what that.
Elaborate
Level 8 location: WTF?!
(At 1:25:48)
1:25:50
+hawkeye295 Yep, not a fan of totally random required secrets. At least give us some hints, right? :)
+hawkeye295 wait, did they move it from the original quest? cause that was a jack move on Nintendo's part.
+bulba2021think All of the levels except Level 1 were moved around. Level 8 is especially horrible because of how cryptic it is. I don't know why anyone would think to stepladder across the river on that spot and use a bomb.
ok, because I am still working on beating the 2nd quest.
This guy had no chill running through these dungeons, lol. Just goes through like the eff ever
geez, how did anyone find level 6 on the 2nd quest? were there clues or something I missed. I remember never finding it as a kid.
This is rather trippy.
I don't understand why Zelda games have to be beaten more than once.
I find it funny how most of the dungeons are found in random places
Why?
I was always defeated by Second Quest as a 5 year old. I used to beat the first playthrough all the time and i figured out all the secrets but 2nd quest baffled me and i never made it past the first few dungeons
What happens when completing Quest 2? I know there's no Quest 3, but does it bring you back to Quest 1 when you reload the file, or does the file stay on Quest 2?
Quest 2 has harder enemies to start with. The dungeon maps are scrambled in different places and there's only 5 donations. The maps for the dungeons are in the shape of the name Zelda Z E L D A, one letter shape for each dungeon. It has no completion for the second quest, you beat the dungeons and that's it, no end game credits it's just free play with no more goals and no climax, sad.
Which dungeons spell that? 1-5? I didn’t notice dungeon 1 being in the shape of a Z
Sorry. That was on the original Nintendo's 3rd quest.
You can use the blue candle for dark rooms just try one observation
Today’s games have about ten solid hours of cast/developer credits at the end; this is quite a difference!
Well to be fair, older games were smaller, WAY smaller like only a few kilobytes or megabytes at the most. Pretty small teams were working on the games and it was easy since it was all just pixels. Nowadays you have better graphics, models, and pretty much literally everything. So yes more people are needed
Coming back in 2021 to say the 2nd quest is was master quest before master quest.
Zelda II is different, but in a good way. I think it's a pretty awesome game, the only bad part is grinding for EXP, which I think takes way too long most of the time. I get sick of fighting those slime things because I can't fight the bigger enemies that give out more EXP because... well... they'll beat the crap out of me! But that's just me, it has nothing to do with whether the game is good or not, I'm just impatient sometimes xP.
I agree with you 100%! Zelda II is badass but it can get a bit tedious. Enemies are a lot harder in II than in I
@@christopherpooler5398 the combat in my opinion was better in zelda ii then in zelda 1 bc zelda 1 was slash slash and slah some more zelda ii had like ducking down thrust up thrust over all better
I feel like I'm the only one who noticed how at the end it says "Legend of Zelda 1" as if implying they _always_ planned for a sequel.
Unless this is a re-release
Love the Start sowie all items
why u got 255 rupies on 43:00?
Because 2nd quest is hard as all sh*t, he used some, lets say 'loop holes' to help him
Because 2 bomb upgrades require 100 rupees, the 2nd quest exclusively has 3 dick rooms that you either give up 50 rupees or a heart container, bait costs 60 rupees, and you need arrows to defeat multiple Gohmas. That exceeds 255, but you'll get rupees throughout your journey.
@@noahmay7708 none of the quest were hard I beat the game without all the unnecessary things like the red ring, magic boomerang you just needed skills
He wasn't asking why, he was asking HOW? I'd like to know also. Rupee glitch?
He probably farmed some rupees and clipped out the footage of him doing that from the video after he saved the game.
You rock World of Longplays I like all your video
10:46 - Link enters Bullet Time
Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSEEEE ME, Princess!
I followed a tutorial to complete the first one but I think for this quest I'll do without. I'm going take my time and slowly figure things out using knowledge from the first game to guide me
Seems to me the most frustrating part of Zelda II was that enemies didn't drop healing items; rather, the LIFE spell was prohibitively expensive. Maybe if they made LIFE only 16 magic points to cost, Zelda II would've been much easier...
There's no "magic" in this game.
So, I've seen you walk through a bunch of walls that should be triforce rooms does that mean the rooms are traps? or is it a glitch of some kind?
Hola.
Gracias por esta guía del Zelda I de la Nintendo Nes.
Una duda. ¿Qué son esas especies de calaberas luminosas que aparecen varias veces en las mazmorras o niveles? Por ejemplo, en el minuto 59:25. ¿Hay alguna forma de matarlas?
came here to find out where the first set of extra bombs were at. Somehow missed them in the 5th labyrinth.
1:02:43 Your coins and bombs went from nothing to max. Now you have to start all over.
whats the difference between the first quest and the second besides the fact that ones first and ones second
Second is harder and items and dungeons are in different locations. It is definitely worth replaying
What's different in the 2nd quest?
All Dungeon locations are changed, Dungeon Layouts are all new, Secret locations are mostly the same with some new ones exclusive to the Second Quest. There are also new traps, including Door Repairs (Lose 20 rupees for discovering certain secrets) and Life Tolls (Leave your Life or Money).
Imagine trying to beat this game without the help of the internet 😮
@infernoman999 Second quest the enemies are a little tougher and the dungeons are in different places. Other than that, I don't know.
is the longplay is tool-assisted? because it look like a speedrun to me
They can keep that second quest, just got done mastering the first quest which is enough for me.
No I you need to do the Second quest that’s what I thought until about 20 years later I beat the second quest. It’s awesome, but hey, that’s up to you.
17:39 its centaur jesus
42:56 has 28 jewels, defeated level 3 and then saves. Restarts and has 255 jewels and only 3 hearts. Dude isn’t showing us everything. He’s obviously getting killed.
Same with 102:49. Beat the level and then save. Then all the sudden your jewels are way up high. Hmmm i
He used a glitch to do it.
Not really “long play” when you use the save / start from the beginning trick, is it?
Yes. cubex55's longplays are all tool-assisted.
When it said end of zelda 1, I know they knew that this was going to be a big series. It's pretty comical if you think about it! :)
Why the "Save" button ?
52 people were looking for some non-existent song...?
@DynasticHero I hated Zelda II, mostly because his sword was so damn short.
Good point, heatlh in some form or other would be nice, or more magic potions dropped. I miss the Bow, a lot, when I play it. Imagine sending it across the screen through like five enemies, BOOM BOOM! xD I would love it!
I'm more of a Mario fan so I never played this. What is the difference between the 1st and 2nd quests? Just the difficulty?
Wheels8504 the dungeons are rearranged and different, they're in totally different spots, and they're much harder
+Wheels8504 Never heard of a mario fan that didn't also not like or play Nintendo's second best franchise.
+Crimson King Mario is Nintendo's third best franchise (and the most widely known). I honestly believe that Metroid is their 2nd best IP. With Zelda being on top, which I think most people would agree with. Mario is too simply, yet too effective and could probably end up being more addicting. It has accessibility that the others don't. People can actually beat Mario games, without having to resort to a guide.
Crimson King I think it's underrated. It didn't get many installments and there wasn't one for the N64. Yes, they may feel too mechanical at times and Mario is simplistic, yet very satisfying. Metroid is about the feeling of empowerment and it's not as interesting as Zelda, because you mostly search for Missiles and other items to increase their capacity or to acquire a new arm cannon (beam) upgrade or add-on (like in the Prime series, for example). I think Metroid is what it is, mainly for one reason.. The Prime Trilogy! Retro Studios did a great job on resurrecting Metroid and they made the transition so well from 2D to 3D. While with Mario, I was more impressed when '64' came out, since that game completely changed the entire formula and turned it into a totally non-linear experience, where you could choose which level you play and sub-quest to take on (for Stars).
Still, I prefer the complexity of Metroid. The downside is that it can be a little cryptic at times and Mario is always more accessible and your progress never comes to a halt. It's very fluent and you can see that the main focus always was and is 'Level Design'. In that department, it reigns supreme, but I don't think it's as captivating as Zelda's dungeons. Nothing beats that! And I mean NOTHING!
I never understood that sword in the title screen. I never seen it in the game
Is this on an emulator or an actual NES console?
How did you save your game
So wait… link went after courage where did wisdom come from??
This is the original Zelda game. The Triforce of Courage didn't exist until Zelda II.
oh gulpie! forgot about this didnt i?
thank god i am upgrading Myself
How do you go from having 28 rupees to saving and then having 255? Makes no sense.
He used a glitch.
Didn't Ronald Reagan say that 1986 was officially the best year of the Century?
