Description
40 years after its initial release, The Legend of Zelda is now available to play as a two-player simultaneous cooperative multiplayer game. Player 2 takes on the role of Link’s Shadow. Either player can pick up and use any item, and each player can select their active item independently of the other. Players share resources and health. Each player’s Select button switches their active item without the need to pull up the inventory screen. Additionally, Z for 2 includes a 1v1 deathmatch mode. To unlock, enter ARENA as your player name. Each round features a randomized set of items for Link and his Shadow to fight with. The item screen shows the items, then either player can press start to begin the round. Pausing is deactivated during the battle; the Select button switches items as always. The lone survivor leaves the room to secure the point, and the Select screen keeps the score. To reset the score, delete the ARENA save and make a fresh save.
