Hack description

The Zelda II Rev edition hack changes the graphics for Zelda 2 for the NES. Almost every enemy, boss, item and character in the game have received a minor or major change. The over world sprites & palette have been tweaked a bit as well. A couple lines of dialogue were changed because of the few item changed to something from the first Zelda.

Some notable changes include: Updated Link's sword, pants, & shield. Zoras now look similar to other Zelda games, Gooma is a minotaur, Bubbles are Zelda 1 style, the Power glove has been replaced with the Power Bracelet, Wise men now look closer to Zelda 1 style, Wizards & Magos are also closer to Zelda 1 style. Bots, Bits & Big Bots are more "blobby" looking. Megmats & Wosus are closer to the instruction manual art.

All changes have been noted in the Read me file.

Good redesignedscipion32018-05-07Version 1.6

I like that you tried to tie Zelda II more with the actual franchise by adding triforce symbols all over the places. I also liked the references to Zelda 1 and the redesign of enemies like Thunderbird who now look like an actual bird. However, the only negative thing I have to said about it is the color of the dungeons: I mean dungeon 2,3,4 and 5 are all blue which is kinda lame since it's very repetitive...

So So So Awesomeultimaweapon2018-04-11Version 1.6

The new sprites with this hack look so good that I had to use them for my hack. Awesome job indeed.

This hack it´s really fun. Why? Well, IF you played the original Zelda 2... it's so damn hard hit any mob... due Link use a damn Knife... don't worry, this hack give a REAL sword to Link. Thank you for this work and for share. Regards!.

A Great ImprovementShade Aurion2018-01-02Version 1.0

After playing a fair ways in, this hack makes the whole game better as a whole and easier to look at and this play. Some things just don't age very well and in a lot of ways AoL was one of those things but with these graphical improvements, I feel you've breathed New Life into it. Nicely done!
