i know BUT when i went to go watch alice, when the scroll proposized she was supossed to slay the jabberwockey that's the only thing i could think of.
"In the Tim Burton film Alice in Wonderland (2010), Christopher Lee voices The Jabberwock. The Jubjub Bird and the Bandersnatch also appear in the film computer-animated. Alice also sets out to find the Vorpal Sword. Also, the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) recites part of the poem to Alice during the film as well as referring to the day Alice is meant to combat the Jabberwock as the "frabjous day"

My 'last palace' in Zelda 2 was getting the hammer. My jaw dropped when I saw all the cave entrances on the overworld map for the first time.

Also, side question. Was Zelda 2 done by the same people as Battle of the Olympus? Both are great games, but if they do not share the same creative team, then there is some plagiarism present. I have wondered this for a while.

Of the top of my head, I don't think so. BoO was developed by Infinity, published by Broderbound in NA. As far as I know it was done by separate teams and yes, I always thought there was some distinct similarities in gameplay. It almost seems like they use the same game engine they feel that similar. Almost like Infinity threw a greek themed skin over the top, added some more color and took out the over world. But you could say that BoO also feels like Rygar a bit too.

Anyways, way back in the day a buddy and I stayed up all night getting to and beating the final palace on Zelda II. We did it once, and I've never done it since. But I do have a copy of it on Gamecube and am pretty far on it, so I may just finish it off again just to know that I can.
