I have been playing
this game
It has all of the important content you are looking for in a Zelda 2 remake:
Link turns into a chicken instead of a fairy.
The chicken can fly further to get by long jumps. Oh btw there are new OSTs for the game.
Nice people will let the chicken stay with them.
The chicken's no punk and can fight. I didn't have up stab and down stab yet, but the chicken can do those moves as well.
Oh and there are secret places that only the chicken can get to.
And bonus Halloween mode for cities.
10/10 remake. There is like twice the content of the original.
