I saw this screen a lot as a kid. FUCK YOU ZELDA 2! I WISH YOU’D JUST GET THROWN DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE!

This would have been SOOOOO much better than Zelda 2.
This has been your monthly reminder that I really fucking hate Zelda 2 and wish everyone would pretend that it never existed.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Drinking Game
Lloyd “TheScottishAlien” is determined to play through all the Legend of Zelda games in order to gain inspiration for a tattoo. Around game two, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, he ran into a bit of a problem. As many gamers know, Zelda II is… difficult to get through, for different reasons. So in order to ease some of the pain, here is Lloyd’s Zelda II Drinking Game. Play with beer or cocktails, but be warned: you will drink a lot.
Rules:
1. Players take turns playing until they either die or get a game over (depending on experience).
2. When a player dies, all other players drink. (alternative: When a player dies, everyone drinks)
3. When an item is obtained, everyone drinks.
4. When a boss is defeated, everyone finishes their drink.
5. The game ends when you suddenly realize that you really enjoy Zelda II and begin thinking it as one of the better Zelda titles, at which point everyone finishes their drink and plays some Ocarina of Time.Thanks again to Lloyd for this drinking game. Keep up with his progress of beating all the Zelda games and more on his blog, “It’s Dangerous to Go Alone.”
Seriously. You’d have to be crazy or under the influence to think that Zelda II was good. It’s only because the first Zelda was so amazing and godlike that Zelda II didn’t kill off the series.
