Comments on: The Anatomy of Zelda II: XII. The Great Palace http://www.anatomyofgames.com/2013/04/15/the-anatomy-of-zelda-ii-xii-the-great-palace/ Defunct, amateurish, game design analysis by Jeremy Parish Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:31:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.7 By: LBD "Nytetrayn" http://www.anatomyofgames.com/2013/04/15/the-anatomy-of-zelda-ii-xii-the-great-palace/#comment-1448 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:02:59 +0000 http://telebunny.net/toastyblog/?p=7576#comment-1448 I just noticed beneath the comment field here “Notify me of new posts by e-mail.” Is that talking about comments, or whenever there’s a new story? I’m giving that a try.

Also, meant to mention before: Those Giant Bots really freaked me out as a kid, probably more than anything else.

Also forgot to mention: I love how the tiles used for the Great Palace are the same ones used for Wart’s castle in Super Mario Bros. 2. When I was a kid, I thought there might be some sort of connection.

As it is, I’m clearing out dozens of spam comments per post by the end of the brief open period.

The Great Palace gave us new enemies (and a few trivial enemies on steroids). And they all were terrifying.
Nintendo really put a lot of effort into making the final level memorable. A level you would show your friends after school. A level many of us wouldn’t even reach.

Thanks for another great write-up, Mr. Parish.
