Zelda 2 wasn't a bad game, but it didn't feel like a Zelda game.

I assume you mean Zelda II...
Yeah, now it doesn't feel like a traditional Zelda game, but remember it came out before the formula was calcified by A Link to The Past. I think it's admirable that Nintendo was willing to try totally different things back then. Neither Zelda I or II were anything like any other games of the time. The Zelda II design could have kicked the ass of Castlevania and Metroid if they had refined it for the SNES game.
What the fuck is wrong with you?Also, Zelda 1 is outdated and Link's Awakening sucked
Zelda is a series that has stagnated completely since Link To The Past and merely copies the same format over and over while removing the previous game's gimmick and adding a new one. Some gimmicks are better done than others, like Majora's Mask's three days system vs. the dreadful wolf form in Twilight Princess.
Because of Super Metroid and Castlevania 4. Both had gotten pretty good at the sidescrolling platforming thing (and they wanted to keep that stuff fresh for Super Metroid, which would come out two years later). Zelda 3 had to stand out next to these two, which I think was the reason to go back to the three-quarters view. And it makes more sense for Link to the Past being in that sort of view for exploration purposes since most countries have both length and width, while Simon Belmont ascended a non-euclidian castle and Samus descended into Zebes.Speaking of Zelda II, there's something I never understood about action adventure/RPG of that era. Zelda is not the only franchise that attempted the platformer approach and decided to go back to the previous system (overhead view). For example, I have in mind Ys III and Faxanadu specifically. Does anyone has a theory why the idea was dropped?
A Link Between Worlds' plot twist. Holy shit.
They actually went somewhere interesting.
Alright, here we go. First up for those who did not know this yet: the not-Ganondorf we see (Yuga) is actually a dude. As for the rest...A Link Between Worlds' plot twist. Holy shit.

Spoil it to me please.
That plot twist is kinda derp IMO.
Isn't Ganon dead already? He doesn't come back in that timeline until the original LoZ.

Hm, maybe. Oh, and with both Zelda and Ganondorf having their counterparts in Lorule, that must mean that Link has one as well, right?
He does. To keep it a secret for a bit, it has to do with his alternate form in A Link to the Past.
