I hated Zelda 2. I have a gold cartridge of it in close to perfect condition.
I played it though despite not liking it. It was an exercise in repetition. Also the music drove me nuts, ended up playing with the sound off.
Needless to say I never got past world 8. So close and yet aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrghhhh SHUT UP!!

Zelda needs to be associated with gold stuff again, because it emphasizes how good and important it is. They should give away gold accessories with it, or something (not solid gold, obviously, but gold colour will do).

The first Wind Waker releases came on a gold disc in a gold case.
I think Zelda II is an awful game too, I have no idea how any one could possibly find it enjoyable (Zelda I is only marginally better).
