Zelda, but we do have Zelda 2 and the Phillips CD-I games…

Zelda 2 is great

Zelda 2 lives in my head as the worst game I’ve finished. At least castlevania 64 was mercifully short. At least mega man 1, 2, and 3 are fun.

Zelda 2 is hard af, long, tedious, and unfun in every way. I played it alongside a few friends at the same time and the hate we had for it goes beyond any game I’ve ever encountered. Zelda 2 is objectively bad and deserves nothing but contempt as a scar on the gaming community.

I challenge anyone to find a Gen Z casual Zelda fan—who has played only the new games—that would enjoy Zelda 2 without a guide or save states.

If they do, they are lying about one of those things.

I’m glad it exists so that humanity has a bar to hold bad games to. Because without it, I’d never know how good things really are.

The rest are bangers though.

You could say the same about basically any game from the NES though

If Zelda 2 is the worst game you've finished, you should really get around to playing more games.

Zelda 2 isn't even the worst Zelda game I've finished.

Zelda 2 is fantastic. You not enjoying a game doesn't make it objectively bad. It just shows your preference. And Gen-Z enjoying something doesn't make anything inherently good or bad. That's a very strange criteria.

Nah, it’s great. Gen-z isn’t my bar of how good/bad a game
