2D Zelda Never Disappoints

I've been on a classic Zelda stint lately. A few months ago, I started playing through A Link to the Past yet again. After Level 5: Ice Palace, I got distracted and didn't play for quite a while, but then I started up the original Legend of Zelda on a whim. After beating that (first quest only), I went back and finished up my game of LttP, and now I'm playing through Link's Awakening.

Poor Zelda II gets no love.

I think it's been around ten years since I played Link's Awakening. I played through it twice back-to-back when I first got the game, along with my Game Boy Color, back in the day. But then I never played it much after that, which is rare for me with a Zelda game. Even Majora's Mask got picked up again a while after I beat it the first time, though I couldn't bring myself to do the Great Bay Temple again and stopped there.

While I don't remember a lot of details in LA anymore, I still amaze myself sometimes by sort of instinctively knowing what to do or where to go. And the more I play, the more memories of my first time through the game keep popping up. It's been a fun nostalgia trip, and I've only gotten to Level 3: Key Cavern so far.

Maybe I'll play the Oracle games again after I finish LA.

Edit: No, wait, I know what I need to replay once I finish LA. Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. I played it to death when I first got it because it was and still is the only 2D Zelda game to rival LttP, but it's now been around six years since I played it. That needs to be fixed.
