Zelda II: The Adventure of Link departs from the overhead format of the first game. You navigate an overworld map from a top-down view, but combat, towns, caves and palaces play out on side-scrolling screens where Link attacks high or low with his sword and blocks with a shield. Defeating enemies earns experience points, which you spend to raise attack power, magic capacity and life. Spells learned from villagers cover healing, jumping higher, and other effects, and townspeople offer hints and training. The goal is to reach a series of palaces, place crystals in their statues, and ultimately awaken the sleeping Zelda. Lives are limited, and running out returns you to the starting point.
