This game came just a while ago, and it's a very fun homage to "The Legend of Zelda" series. It's a side-scrolling arcade style action game, kinda like The Adventure of Link. This game controls so beautifully. It's a quick and fast hack-and-slash game, with simple controls, colorful sprites and gorgeous backgrounds. Even the music are remade versions of Zelda's Lullaby and the main Zelda theme. ^^

This Link has purple hair, just like the "A Link to the Past" SNES sprite does.

Yea, I know, it's Tsuyoshi in the Hero Tunic~

I made this one-level arcade interpretation of Zelda for no reason but being a big damn nerd and just needing to take a break from having little motivation with Solar Plexus. Also, I wanted to try out the item-system changing parts of the level slightly.

It's pretty challenging, not tested a whole lot and the gamepad support might be strange on some joypads, I haven't tried it on any but mine.

At least now I'm burnt-out on making arcadey action games for a while.

It is a kind of love letter to Zelda, my personal favorite game series, both from nostalgia and its often great design. The Legend of Zelda-franchise is obviously a NINTENDO-copyrighted franchise, and this game, while admittedly trying to be like a bootleg Zelda, should not be sold etc., but that goes without saying.

Looks like Zelda meets Noitu love.

I'm sold.

Gotta say, I love the music thus far. A very nice Homage.

Reminds me a bit of Wonder Boy too.

Looks strange and funny ^^

Excellent choice with the Gryphon's feather there.

That was proably the best item ever, as it allowed Link to JUMP.

[tornado fang] this is sexy. Added to backlog now.

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2009, 12:41:32 AM

EXCELLENT.

See, Ninty? THIS is the type of Zelda 2 remake/follow-up I'd like to see on the DS. Why can't you deliver?!

Any way, this is some good stuff. But then again, that's expected, giving Noitu Love and its sequel's quality.

So I'm not the only one who loved Zelda 2 over the first one for being a sidescroller?

Ah well Zelda 2 is nice for the "What if..." thoughts.

Imagine all of Zelda would have been sidescrolling games from then on.

Link to the Past will probably always be my favorite Zelda. It just brought so much to the series. Especially future confusion among the fans!

Definitely NOT.

Zelda 2, in my opinion, did a lot of things well. The magic system was nice, the fighting system was actually quite interesting (for an 8-bit game of the time, certainly), and I also liked it was probably the most single challenging game in the series, before "Master Quest" (if it counts).

Too bad that it got a lot of flak because, it wasn't "Zelda" according to so many others' opinions.

That's why, to this day, I REALLY wish that perhaps Zelda 2 was another game, and a not necessarily a Zelda game. Chances are, we probably would have seen more games of its like come from the House of Nintendo, if fanboys were able to accept it as something different and viable unto itself.

I mean, if the game that would become "Zelda 2" was say, a sequel to Nazo no Murasamejo (starring Takamaru) or even StarTropics instead, Takamaru or Mike probably would have benefited from having such a game. More so than Link, to say the least.

You know, thinking about this line right here, I have to wonder if a side scrolling version of either of these two games would be a good or amazing idea. I'm leaning towards the latter though.

hmm, I'll download this later. Looks fun!

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #14 on:** January 26, 2009, 01:51:55 AM

I might give it a shot sometime.
Though I haven't actually played any Noitu Love yet, and I should.

With Vixy here, I don't even have to play games anymore.

VixyNyan · **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2009, 03:21:40 AM

Well actually, there's one room in the game I haven't shown, and you members should solve it yourselves. ^^

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #20 on:** January 26, 2009, 05:35:56 AM

On another, yet related note, Noitu Love 2 is now only 10 dollars!

Any one who hasn't experienced the magic of this here game NEEDS to.

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2009, 09:07:44 AM

Why play the game when Vixy just shows us all the good parts, eh?

Lami · **Reply #22 on:** January 26, 2009, 03:49:13 PM

I'm not too impressed with the enemies difficulty
