Developer Infidelity has just publicly released his latest NES to SNES conversion, for Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. As with his previous conversions, these eliminate slowdown, reduce sprite flicker and allow for SNES-related enhancements that aren’t possible on NES hardware.

I’m a huge fan of Infidelity’s work. And I wanted to like this game so bad, I asked my friend (and one of the only Zelda 2 fans I know) Clint Cronin to stream it with me. Clint was patient and walked me through the first castle, showing me some item locations and tips to help me get my groove for the game. And I still hated it. LOL, sorry Zelda 2 fans, the game just isn’t for me. But if you’d like to see it in action, check out the stream we did below – I think anyone looking to get into the game would really benefit.
Also, if you’d like more details as to why these NES -> SNES ports are such a big deal, I already covered this in a previous post and discussed it during Weekly Roundup #361 at the 12min mark: https://youtu.be/rviGb9gS_CA?t=721 I didn’t want to repeat everything here, so I thought it was just best to link to the other explanation.
