Zelda ][ Remake

Look, I'm not going to suggest you sit down and watch a six hour long YouTube video but if you were prone to do such a thing, I would certainly suggest adding this Zelda 2 PC Enhanced Remake walkthrough to your list.
According to the author's insights, it's a full rebuild of the game using GameMaker that includes widescreen views, bug fixes and lots of quality of life enhancements. What the blog post doesn't say is that it's also got hours of new map areas, dungeons and other general "adventure" baked in that feels completely like the original game.
I recognize that there's a great deal of nostalgia at play here but I can't help but be impressed that someone rebuilt a (somewhat maligned) game from 1987, fixed it and added loads to it for the pure fan service. I recognize this happens a lot with ROM hacks but this one feels especially legitimate. Maybe even worth 6 hours of your time.
