I beat him the last two times with less than half my hearts and on my first try. Over all the game was really fun, but too easy and too short. I really enjoyed the graphics, really reminded me of the good ol' SNES days. I think it is a good starter game for introducing a younger generation to the series.

You beat Vaati on your first try? Wow. And Zelda 2---That's one hard game. Well, the fact that it is hard doesnt' really bother me. I just hate that if you die, you have to start back at the Ancient Zelda shrine. So frikkin' stupid. I'd love to see a Metroid: Zero Mission style remake, that's still difficult, but still uses modern design principles.

For the sake of not loosing hours of your life, I would recommend using a game genie with the infinite lives code. I normally would not recommend using a gamegenie on anything, but for Zelda II the infinite lives code does little to help you or make the game any easier other than making it so you do not have to restart at that damn shrine over and over and over and over again, the game is still very difficult. If you play it through an emulator most of them have a built in game genie function. For people who are not going to beat this game any other way, I beseech you to play it this way, then at least you will have the thrill of seeing the whole game through.

As for beating Vaati on the first try, are you sure it was anything? All you had to do was dodge him and figure out how to hurt him. The first round against him I though was the very end. I came in charged up with a couple of bottles of fairies. It wasn't too hard, but I really thought it was the end and I only had half my hearts left by the time it was over. Then on round two all you had to do was flip his arms as soon as they came out of the ground, shrink and avoid getting hit by the little eye balls. That was probably the hardest part. Then the four eyes things, that was time consuming, but easy to dodge his attacks. Then round three was a joke. He just bounced around. You could break open the purple things to get hearts and arrows and take all the time to beat it you needed. I guess it would be hard if you tried to rush through it, but if you take your time all his attacks are very easy to avoid.

I started playing Oracle of Seasons. So far I am really enjoying it. I am only on the third dungeon and I was noticing how much more difficult the puzzles are than Minish Cap's. You said Seasons was the one that was lite on the puzzles, in that case I think I am really going to enjoy Ages.
