If you know, you know, but Zelda 2 is so hard, that reaching a village is way more of an accomplishment than reaching a dungeon. No point in exploring a dungeon when you're low on life and magic. Honestly Zelda 2 should be given a remake where there is an easy mode or at least change so that if you get a game over, you don't have to start from the North Castle or the Final Dungeon.
