I have Zelda II, It is criminally diffacult. It wasn't the only platformer in the series, Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil were both platformers, I really don't get what's wrong with those two though, aside from the bad Russain translations, cheesy voice acting, and short campaign, it doesn't look like a bad game at all.
Anyways, Zelda II really inteterested me because of the similarities and references to the older zelda games.
One of the towns is called "Saria Town" clearly pointing to Saria from Ocarina of Time, another thing is that it is a forest town around cliffs, and to the south is a cave, all of these things suggest that Saria grew up to be a powerful woman who was so important, the forest villagers re-named the town after her.
There is also Zora town, but Zoras don't live there, my guess is that zoras went extinct and the humans are paying tribute to an old zora settlement.

No... Just no.
Those don't deserve the title of "Legend of Zelda". They are hideous!

I think Wand Of Gamelon and Faces Of Evil have come to be like many B movies and fall into the whole "so bad it's entertaining/good/cult"
