Message: [QUOTE="MrCounts, post: 213033, member: 167875"] I'm a Zelda II defender but I really don't like playing vanilla a whole lot. IMO the biggest singular improvement Redux and the fan remake made was making the lives permanent upgrades. The game's structure of starting at the same place at the start of the game every time you game over and letting you gradually unlock new routes and items to let you get through the world quicker is very cool and well built but is betrayed by its life system. Getting lives in the vanilla game is not only underwhelming but arguably feels detrimental because they don't respawn between game overs, meaning you won't get to collect it again later. Actually having the lives respawn would probably be good enough but turning them into permanent upgrades really lends itself to the near rogeulike nature of the game and makes it feel a lot less tedious. For me, this takes the game from fine to great! [/QUOTE]
