I'd only play Zelda II for "historical" purposes. Haven't heard great things about it. Then again, if you played it way back in the day there's always the nostalgia factor.

Did not realize how short this game was. I enjoyed my time with it. Going to wait a little while before I go back and complete the second quest. I might pick up Zelda II over the next few days, but that could lead to me trying to complete the whole series, and that could be a costly venture. I've played the majority of the games in the series, but it would be nice just to slog through them all again.
