Link was like, doin cool spell and sword stuff in that game. He could level up and fly and whatnot, how come they don't make another one like that? Every other style of zelda gets 10 billion games. They did Breath of the Wild twice in a row!
 
It was controversial at the time (many disliked the change in style) and it's been a million years, so it's highly unlikely. I'd like it though, Zelda 2 is good and there aren't enough side-scroller RPGs.

Does it really bother you that they never made another game like Zelda II or are you just complaining just for the sake of conversation?

True, I guess in a way Arzette (I think thats the name of that indie game) is the successor to the sidescroller zelda in that case

There is a DS game entitled "Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage". It is essentially a direct copy of Zelda 2's gameplay loop, with an Adventure time coat of paint. Not groundbreaking or anything, but a good time if you really dig that kind of game.
 
Zelda 2: Adventure of Link is one of the first games I remember playing. It doesn't get enough recognition or love. I have Ganon's evil laugh seared into my brain. I would love to get a new Zelda in the sidescrolling style. Link's Awakening had a few callbacks with the side scrolling sections, but other than that, nothing.

Some of the cool elements of Zelda 2 that I haven't since in Zelda games since:

  • Levels and XP for Link: You can customize your Link as you progress through the game, increasing attack, defense or magic efficiency.
  • Sword combat and shield positioning: The vertical position of the shield matters. Some enemies attack high while some attack low.
  • Really tough enemy AI: The Darknut's AI is almost diabolical. They can parry your attacks intelligently without it feeling like they are cheating. Dark Link is probably the hardest boss in Zelda's history.

AoL was my first Zelda. So I actually found the original game to be more awkward at first. I would love an AoL remake. But it's not likely to happen.
If you haven't, you may like Rambo on the NES. It's basically a carbon copy of AoL. Mind you, it's Rambo, but the gameplay is the same and just as hard.

I've been asking for Zelda 2-2 for decades. It's my favorite entry in the entire franchise and even if Miyamoto said he wishes it were better or whatever, it's still fun. That recent fan remake is very solid and adds good QoL stuff, but I want more. Even if they just let someone else handle it, just to see it happen.

Rather just ignore you.
 
I could recommend this one:

I should check it out. I tried to watch AT but sadly I felt like there were too many seasons and I was too old to enjoy it.
