Zelda II isn't really that divisive. Most people don't care about it, there are only a handful of people who have a strong opinion about it either way. The most divisive Zelda game would probably be Skyward Sword.
FF has a few divisive ones. There's obviously picrel, but pretty much every game released after X gets people arguing to some extent.

>>715322250 (OP) Zelda 2 is easily on par with the 1st and 2nd Castlevania games, it's only "divisive" among actual Zelda autists who don't play other games. Even the AVGN video people cite says the game is a good but difficult game, which it is.
I played it a few months ago for platinum points and it was a really interesting game. Link restoring his health by banging villagers is funny and the way the shield works is neat and quite intuitive when you get used to it It was really hard though and I ended up getting frustrated and then abusing save states to beat it
>>715322250 (OP) Zelda II is the best Zelda game made before Twilight Princess. Twilight Princess is the best Zelda ever made. Zelda II takes the second place among the legends.
Just admit you are a normie if you think otherwise.
>>715325570 the fact you felt compelled to post this proves my point. ain't nobody gets so bothered by zelda 2 critique that they make and spam zelda 2 wojaks or make up catchy buzzwords like Zelda2snoy or some shit

>>715322368 >BotW/TotK get way more friction and debate. TOTK maybe, but if you say you don't like BOTW outside of this site you get verbally guillotined.
>>715326628 Not that I know of. As far as I know the video essay crowd loves BOTW. TOTK is relatively controversial, but BOTW is like some kind of sacred cow online.
>>715331996 >being a contrarian is my identity and I will defend a title so mediocre nintendo straight up did a 180 to go back to the gameplay of the prequel
