This version of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is a labor of love by developer Hoverbat. Created in GameMaker: Studio, this version not only faithfully executes the original in widescreen, but makes an uncountable amount of quality of life tweaks as well as additional areas, slightly altered mechanics, and great references to Zelda games yet to come!
Ever since playing the original NES and Famicom versions, Sean has been convinced that this game is ripe for a Link's Awakening style re-imagining. While there are many ways to go about this without fundamentally altering the mechanics, Hoverbat's take is elegant in its simplicity. Well, it looks simple, anyway; this is the work of a true artist.
Join us as we play through as much as we can, and point out all of the amazing differences!
