Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
The most different Zelda: side-scrolling, experience points and Game Over. Controversial and underrated.

The Story
Zelda II is the Zelda that divides: side-scrolling combat with experience and levels, NPC villages, a real Game Over. For years it was considered the black sheep, but modern reevaluation recognizes it as a brave and innovative game. The high/low combat system was deep, spells added tactical options, and the Great Palace is one of Nintendo's most challenging dungeons. 'I am Error' became an immortal meme.
