Had a little time set aside to finally beat Zelda 2: Link's Adventure. What annoys me most about this game is getting to the Great Palace alone. You have to go across 4 areas of those fence reptiles and several caves with those fucking blue moas. I hate those things. As soon as you get there, you're beat to shit. It took me about 20 tries to get there, but I finally did. Luckily the game starts you at the Great Palace if you die and not the beginning of the game. I cheated by looking at the map and finding the most direct route to Thunderbird, only because I was beat to shit and wanted to beat this game without getting another Game Over. Thunderbird himself was pretty tough, but I beat him on my second try. With just one life left and only 3 hearts and no magic, I decided to exploit the left screen glitch for Dark Link. So I beat the game...finally.

And for shits and giggles, I popped Metroid in there and decided to beat that too. I hadn't ever gotten further than beating Kraid, since I always got lost looking for Ridley, but I sat down and beat this in a little over an hour. I don't know why I never gave this game more of a chance, it's really not that bad. But jesus, Mother Brain annoyed me...too many projectiles on screen.
