| 15 Nov 16:31 2016 |  | Will adventure master still unlock if you just marathon the game through on the first new game and manage not to die/dontinue? | ||
| 15 May 21:33 2017 |  | Anyone have any tips on how to beat the Bosses of the Palaces without getting damaged? | ||
| 16 May 16:28 2017 | | Also, to get the Adventure Master Achievement, can the file be a new game + with saves etc. or does it have to be a 000 file? Thanks! | ||
| 16 May 19:29 2017 |  | For how to beat bosses without getting damaged, best is watching some youtube videos tutorials, they are pretty well made to explain how to do it (and it works with new game +). And yes adventure master achievement works with new game + too. | ||
| 18 May 6:47 2017 | | OK, cool! Thanks! | ||
| 17 Jan 21:14 2018 |  | I'll have another go at this again and try not to pull my hair out just beating the game | ||
| 7 Mar 1:13 2018 |  | Although the bosses without damage was very fun and challenging, they weren't as difficult as I originally thought. Adventure master is interesting as well! | ||
| 31 Oct 20:22 2019 |  | Great game! Thanks for this set! | ||
| 8 Mar 18:09 2020 |  | this game is brutal :( Loved the first one but really having a hard time enjoying this one. Keep getting lit by the Red Daira in Death Mountain near the beginning of the game. | ||
| 9 Mar 5:00 2020 |  | Zelda II has by far the best combat of the Zelda series but it requires precise timing that gets lost when it's played in emulators, all of which have input lag. The best bet is to use RetroArch with latency reduction. | ||
| 9 Mar 5:01 2020 | | It still has some lag but far less than any other emu I used. Also I'm not sure if all the achievements will trigger in RetroArch, as depending on the core, it may use different addresses. | ||
| 9 Mar 5:03 2020 | | As for the Daira, my advice is to stay a bit away from him & wait for him to throw an axe and jump over it and as soon as you land, walk up to him in a ducking motion and stab him in his legs. Then back up & repeat. | ||
| 9 Mar 5:05 2020 | | Sometimes red Dairas throw a 2nd axe soon after they throw one so be careful and ready to jump over it in case he does (can be tough to do on console if your reaction time is off, let alone on emulators). | ||
| 9 Mar 5:06 2020 | | So take your time, stay calm and you'll be fine. Blue Iron Knuckles are also best handled by a similar approach. | ||
| 13 Mar 1:37 2020 | | Thanks for the advice Mutawarrior. This Death Mountain is just kicking my ass. I can get all the way through and fall into the hole, and I end up getting game over there every time | ||
| 13 Mar 1:38 2020 | | I am not the best gamer in the world but I am certainly above average, and this game is just ugh lol. I may move on to ALTTP on SNES and come back to this one. I am pumped to play that (skipped entire Zelda series growing up) (IDK why lol) | ||
| 13 Mar 1:39 2020 | | Oh, and FWIW I am using RA, pretty much exclusively use that for all my old console gaming. | ||
| 13 Mar 3:45 2020 | | WOW GOT PAST IT!!! LOL | ||
| 13 Mar 7:05 2020 | | Nice. I posted a walkthrough of the game on my youtube channel. Here's the video of me getting the Hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho83O66ZC2k | ||
| 13 Mar 7:06 2020 | | Nowadays I use the ducking jump strikes on him (hold down as you attack him) because it works better. There's an entire playlist I made of the playthrough if you're interested. One of these days I'll do tutorials on how to fight the various enemies. | ||
