Should I play AoL?

I've played and beaten every Zelda game but this one and OoS. I don't think I'll ever get to play OoS unless they decide to put gameboy games on VC or dsiware. So I figured I should try AoL. I know that this game is RPG-esque and that if you're gonna play it, it's not gonna feel completely like Zelda, and I'm prepared for that. But I need to know if it's gonna be so frustrating that I'll just never play it again. I can barely beat the first Zelda game, and Alttp is still pretty hard for me. I just wonder if I should spend the 500 wii points for it. Any suggestions?

You could spend the 500 on other, better, things, but this is still worth the buy. It's completely underrated, fun, and also not as difficult as many people say it is. It's easier than ALttP in my opinion. So yeah, go get it.

Yes you should! It may not have the classic Zelda feel, but it is the only Zelda that I believe deserves a second chance (a remake)

Absolutely play AoL!! The game is extremely challenging, moreso than any other Zelda game. It WILL frustrate you, but it is soooo worth it. You will not be sorry.........

I personally hated it, (If I want Castlevania-like gameplay, I'll play Castlevania.) but we're all entitled to our opinions.

i haven't played much of it, i cant find teh effing candle! all i can do is get laid

yea, give it a try. its cool to experience a new kind of zelda. i beat it over 4 times. its pretty fun. but beware, its extremely challenging. you will strangle yourself xD. this is the hardest zelda.

trust this guy.he speaks the truth!

I think you should get it. It can get frustrating, but it's fun and worth buying.

I love the overworld theme in AOL!

Adventure of Link is extremely difficult, and in my opinion it is the worst Zelda game (so far). But go ahead, why not?

you could just buy Oracle of seasons : /
i mean it would be cool to say, yeah ive masterd every zelda

What does OoS have to do with AoL?

This game is my favorite NES game, absolutely buy it. It's very rewarding when you beat it for the first time, and the game becomes easier if you are patient. Be prepared to die a lot. The bosses are actually easier than the palaces themselves in my opinion.

Truth be told, AoL is my favorite of the NES games. I enjoyed it much more than LoZ (not to say that LoZ was a bad game or anything). Yes, it is frustratingly difficult, and at times you may want to throw the controller down and have a fit of rage, but it is well worth the time and effort put into it. Finally playing your way through a temple and beating a boss in AoL is one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I've ever had (sans Shadow of the Colossus, as that game is just pure win).

The RPG elements add a whole new factor that Zelda hasn't explored before or since, and I personally found it quite enjoyable. The usage of magic as more than just superfluous design elements and actually being required to use it to beat the game was also nice (something not seen again until MM, as far as I'm aware).

All in all, I would highly recommend you purchase this game. It is well worth the 500 Wii points.

The game was good but I did have a little trouble at the end.
And I loved the RPG element they added.

I love the game, and I have it, though I haven't even beaten the first Palace yet. :|
Still, it's a great game. You should get it.
But beware... its difficulty is nightmareish. >_>

I've never played this game and from what I've seen about it and heard about it, idk if I should play it.
