No.The game needs a remake first before getting a sequel.

Ocarina of Time borrowed more from Zelda II than it did from A Link to the Past? I'm going to need you to show your work here.
I mean yeah, a few key characters in OoT were name after towns in Zelda II. But beyond that, I'm just not seeing it.
I beat the game a few years ago without save states. One of the greatest accomplishments I've ever had as a gamer. Seeing those credits roll felt soooooooo good.
It's really not that difficult. Save states definitely aren't needed
I feel that the Nintendo of today would never truly capture what made Zelda II great, notably the brilliant challenge.
Dark Souls is modern Zelda II to me, so I feel like I've already gotten a sequel.
We already got them on CDI.
They called it Shovel Knight.

Agree with this! Zelda II was why i bought a NES, best Zelda so far. I would buy whatever platform it was on even if its called WiiUmepartymotiontransactionWii.
If you're looking for some Zelda II goodness you could do worse than trying the NES classic Battle of Olympus. May just be the rose tinted glasses but I preferred it to Zelda II having played both when I was a kid
or the Wonderboy series and Popful Mail (sega cd version).
too bad Nintendo didnt go with a 16-bit version of Zelda 2. Would have been one of their best games.
I don't want a sequel, but I'd gladly take a reboot or a remake. I like the idea of a 2D side scrolling Zelda, but I really hated Zelda II for being so hard and not entertaining at all (imo). But you know, I only played it only a few years ago, bla bla, I can understand why people may like this game.
If Zelda II is indeed a good game (this thread is showing a bit of disagreement on that, though) then I welcome a new game in that vein with open arms. Because in all honesty, at this point there's NO way in hell I'm going to get the original Zelda II and try to play that.
This thread is showing some resistance to the idea, which may be perfectly warranted; I don't know anything about Zelda II to comment on the objections.
However, as a newcomer to the Zelda series, I DO welcome direct/spiritual successors to games I unfortunately didn't experience in my younger days. Take ALBW, for example. ALTP is a heavy favorite of the Zelda crowd, but unfortunately I never got to experience it. With ALBW, I could see what all the fuss about ALTP was; it's an absolutely fantastic game! At the same time, I was able to experience it with a modern twist (in 3D, with an in-game map, dungeon/task tracking, etc) which has now gotten me very interested in the Zelda series as a whole.

Remakes/ports that improve the look/feel/accessibility of the game are certainly also welcome, a la 3DS Ocarina of Time.
This game is okay, but much worse than the game it copied imo.
Day one!
And even if they did, Zelda II would be the least deserving.
Have you beaten it? I went through a NES controller because of that game.

i'd rather take it than another boring 3D zelda game with updated assets.
while challenging for a Zelda game, it doesn't approach some of the legendarily difficulty NES games.
I love Zelda 2 and I liked Battle of Olympus, but that game redefined Nintendo-hard. Did anyone honestly ever finish that game? Really? Even when I played it years later with save states I couldn't make it through.
Ever played ys 3? The original versions, not the recent remakes.My hope that Nintendo will ever do another Zelda II style game has pretty much disappeared. I want another one so bad I'm considering just making a new Zelda II (in every way except name) myself, after my current project is done.
You are a good person that inspires joyful feelings.
Edit: ^^ canceled SNES port?! What?! I've never heard of that. Now I'm sad ;_;
What would you want exactly from a Zelda 2 sequel/clone?
The overhead overworld mixed with 2D platforming stages and dungeons?
Well, 'port' might be the wrong word. It might only have ever been intended to be used as a tech demo, or maybe even a Satellaview game, but it did exist:
And by "Zelda II sequel" are we talking about a new game that just happens to take place after the events of Zelda II, or a game that specifically returns to Zelda II's play mechanics (leveling up stats w/ experience points, learning new skills, separate overworld/combat sections) regardless of location/placement on the Zelda timeline?
I always felt Demon/Dark Souls was the evolution of Zelda II gameplay.
