Zelda: Adventure of Link is the second Zelda game ever made. It is the sequal to the most popular action RPG of all time. In this game Hyrule is once again under attack from the evil Gannon. The story goes: Princes Zelda has had a sleeping spell cast on her. You must go to 7 castles and find 7 crystals and then revive poor sleeping Zelda. To do this, you must kill all sorts of monsters and, of course, kill Gannon. In each catle you get a new item. One such item is a candle that will allow you to see inside dark caves.

The gameplay in this game is very interesting. The graphics switch from an over the top view (when your on the main map) to a side scroller (when in castles or when you get attacked). You either love this or hate it. You also get several spells during the course of the game. Most of them are useless but others are vital to compleating the game. Many people consider this to be one of the worst Zelda games but, personaly, I love it. Ahh, the momories....staying up late, watching my brother play it till all hours of the night...er..uh..where was I, oh yes, if you are a fan of the Zelda games, this is definitly one you should try.
