'''''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''''' | '''''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''''' is the second installment of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series and a direct follow-up of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. It was first released in Japan for the [[Family Computer Disk System]] in 1987, and about one year later, in 1988, saw an overseas release on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Unlike the previous game, it was not re-released for Family Computer in Japan. It is the only game of the main series whose title does not start with ''The Legend of Zelda'', although it is referred to as '''''The Legend of Zelda 2''''' in Japan. | ||

''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' had less of an influence on the series than the first game, as its gameplay style and features such as [[EXP|experience point]]s and [[lives]] were not reused in subsequent installments of the main series. This is comparable to the Western ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' of the ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. | ||
''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' introduced some recurring elements, such as [[Shadow Link]], villages and towns, and [[Magic Meter|MAGIC point]]s. Two of the [[Philips CD-i]] spinoffs, ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil]]'' and ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'', are more based on ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' than the first ''The Legend of Zelda''. | ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' introduced some recurring elements, such as [[Shadow Link]], villages and towns, and [[Magic Meter|MAGIC point]]s.

Some of the enemies in ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' take advantage of the four palette slots available on the sprite layer to give them up to three different color variations, as the fourth is Link's palette. The remaining palettes are an orange palette for the weakest enemies, a red palette for medium-strength enemies, and a blue palette for the stronger enemies. In towns, the white values in the red and blue palettes are changed to tan, with the blue instead being purple to work for the townspeople. The few enemies that appear in towns also have these color changes, but are otherwise the same entities. The red and blue palettes also have minor value changes between other locations, notably whether the darkest shade is black (for light-backgrounded areas) or a dark red/blue (for dark backgrounded areas). The middle shade of blue varies, with palaces typically having a deep blue and other areas usually having a light cyan. Before Link has the Candle, enemies with the red or blue palettes appear fully black when in caves, with the orange palette being unaffected. The orange palette is the only palette to stay the same throughout the game. Additionally, artwork for the orange enemies generally depicts them as yellow, indicating they were intended as yellow but shown as orange due to the NES's inability to display a "true" yellow. | Some of the enemies in ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' take advantage of the four palette slots available on the sprite layer to give them up to three different color variations, as the fourth is Link's palette.
