Zelda II, Wii U VC...

I only mention this specifically because, mark my words, this is it... in the 20 or so plus years I've played this game, I have never officially beaten it. I'm definitely going to try and finish this once and for all. With guides. I don't care, I must complete it!!

Hide in the corner against shadow link.... no shame!

PRO-TIP: To navigate the final dungeon, simply go to the right.

Also, there is absolutely no shame in beating Shadow Link by retreating to the corner. It's not cheating, and if you've made it that far, you just do what you have to do to see the end.

(Also, Zelda II is one of my favorite NES games, and while I liked it when I was younger, I appreciate it more now.)

I just got back from Otakon yesterday, and went to my usual video game booth where I have bought almost all of my SFC games. This time I only walked away with one game, but I'm happy.

I totally bought it for the virtual Akihabara exploration and not at all for the gratuitous fan service, and you should too.
