games you dislike that everyone likes and vice versa

[TomGuycott]

I know I've probably said this in another thread before, but since it's appropriate, I'm a fan of Zelda II. The biggest factor was probably the fact that I grew up with it. I never had the original as a baseline, and Zelda II was the first game in the series I ever played. Sure, it was difficult as hell, but so was every game for me at that age for the NES, so I just cheated with Game Genie. X:

Overall, I think that the format is interesting, and with tweaking could have easily become a lot more beloved. Sadly, I doubt that any ZELDA game will go that route ever again, but there are other games that have followed in its footsteps more or less.
