Zelda Breath of the Wild... pretty awesome.
pbj:
I never knew anyone that had Zelda 2 until the aughts. This is despite everyone having an NES and a copy of Zelda 1. I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but it clearly wasn't even in the same realm of popularity.
Howard_Casto:
Not sure what you mean. I had it back in the day and almost everyone I knew had it.
*edit*

As you can see, it didn't sell as much as the original, but it sold nearly as much as LTTP, so I wouldn't exactly call it obscure.

??? No one claimed Zelda II was obscure
Any fart, found this today and it reminded me of this thread:

I've done stuff like flip the maze over so the ball lands on the "smooth" side but never anything this brilliant / complex
Howard_Casto:
I suggest you re-read what pbj said. He said it didn't have the same realm of popularity and nobody he knew had it. That denotes obscurity. It was quite popular at the time. All the talk of the playground, ect. Like I said originally.... revisionist history. Sure if you compare it to the 20+ Zelda games that have been released since it might not be your favorite, but it was the first sequel, and a rather good one at that. The sales figures don't lie. It's like when people start this nonsense about SMB 2 (USA) sucking. That thing was awesome and almost everybody loved it when it first came out. Both got high review scores in various magazines when they came out as well.
I've broke a few shrines, but not that elaborately. I've had more fun making myself a flying mine cart and stuff like that.

He said he didnt know anyone who had it, the sample size is relegated the town he lived in, reduced to the people he knew in said town. That in no way denotes obscurity, it just shows a lack of popularity in a very small cross sample. Most people I knew had 1, 2, or both so I guess that even's his statement out. If we're going to argue semantics, if the game was obscure he wouldnt have know it existed to know that his friends didnt have it.
PS: Mario 2 was fun, ending sucked though.
