Zelda>Castlevania is the truth.

Zelda 2 is not bad at all.

I'd just like to let everyone know that I won a free ringtone from a Dr. Pepper bottle, but the quality of them is Circa 1999, played on a Casio keyboard and recorded with a disney tape deck.

So I had to take the NES Zelda theme song, since its the only one they could almost do right.

Yea it's a myth that the game was horrible, perpetuated by gaming magazines in the late 1990's. I remember reading a quick blurb about it that called it "a side-scrolling mess". Then when I actually played it I thought it was solid - in fact arguably better than Zelda 1 because it doesn't have the stupid random bombing element.

I'm hating myself for voting against some of these games.

Why is there a "Mario Bros." and "Super Mario Bros."? Was Mario Bros. taht crappy game that came out way early?

Zelda > Castlevania is [censored]. The first Zelda was a good game, but not THAT good.

It would be the first Mario Bros' game, yes. Clear the screen then go to the next level.

Castlevania got screwed with its seed. That game should be at least a 4-5 seed.

Great thread OP.

there's only one matchup where I've played both games. I think that's a pretty big beat.
