Master Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Enemy Index

AntMag.NET

This section of the appendix is designed to help you level up by detailing the enemies found throughout Hyrule in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. The primary method of gaining experience points (EXP) is by defeating enemies in the overworld and within palaces. Stronger enemies yield more EXP but require greater skill to defeat. It is recommended to grind for EXP near towns for easy healing.

Before diving into the enemy list, here are the EXP requirements for each stat level:

Level	Attack	Magic	Life
1	N/A	N/A	N/A
2	200	100	50
3	500	300	150
4	1000	700	400
5	2000	1200	800
6	3000	2200	1500
7	5000	3500	2500
8	8000	6000	4000
1-Up	9000	9000	9000

Defeating enemies grants EXP. After defeating five of a specific enemy type, the sixth drop will be either a Treasure Bag or a Magic Jar. Weak enemies drop 50-EXP Treasure Bags and Blue Magic Jars, while strong enemies drop 200-EXP Treasure Bags and Red Magic Jars.
