The best 2D Zelda is either Zelda II or Link's Awakening.
Please explain.
Not because I disagree with you, but I want to know your reasoning.
Zelda II - unique in the Zelda series as an action RPG, with very good fighting, the last Zelda where every boss didn't have some gimmick requiring the dungeon item used on it
Link's Awakening - perfect refinement of the style introduced by Zelda III
I think those are good points...I also like the combat of II but I felt that the leveling up and the flow of progression through the game felt off compared to I and III. Link's Awakening is also a favorite of mine but the world map feels cramped compared to Zelda III (by necessity, of course, due to the Game Boy's limitations).
