Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Released by Nintendo, 1989
Ultra-condensed by Darien

MARKETING: Hmm... The Legend of Zelda was a huge success. Let's make a game that's completely different from it and put "Zelda" in the title and see if it sells!

(They DO, and it DOES, but its popularity WANES, something the original NEVER DID)

CONSUMERS: Err... we liked the old one better.

MARKETING: Yeah. We see that.

(They release MORE games using the OLD formula)

THE END
