Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (THE LEGEND OF ZELDA 2 リンクの冒険,The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link) is a direct sequel toThe Legend of Zelda, both originally released on the Famicom Disk System in Japan and then the Nintendo Entertainment System in the US and PAL territories. While retaining many of the features of its predecessor,The Adventure of Link altered certain elements of gameplay, most notably affecting movement and combat. Traveling across a large world map (not unlike those seen in theFinal Fantasy series of video games) would lead to enemy encounters which took place on a side-scrolling field of play rather than the top down perspective for which the series became known.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is available as aMasterpiece inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.
In theSuper Smash Bros. series[edit]
Moves[edit]
Link's up and down aerials are based on the upward and downward thrust, attacks that Link can use in this game.
Stage[edit]

Music[edit]
The songs "Temple" and "Great Temple / Temple" come from this game.
Misc.[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl,Super Smash Bros. 4, andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Link's black costume is inspired by the characterDark Link, a character who debuted in this game.
