Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Japanese: ゼルダの伝説 2 リンクの冒険
Zeruda no Densetsu Tsu Rinku no Bōken) is the second game in the
series, first released on the Famicom Disk System in Japan in
1987, and overseas a year later on the Nintendo Entertainment
System. Nintendo has also rereleased the title on the GameCube
Game Boy Advance, and Wii Virtual Console.  The Adventure of
Link is widely regarded as the "black sheep" in the series, as
it drastically departs from many gameplay elements introduced in
The Legend of Zelda by introducing more platforming and role-
playing elecents such as a side-scrolling perspective, the use
of experience points, the upgrading of stats, a magic system,
and multiple lives. It is the only title in the series with a
soundtrack not composed by Koji
