Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Browser port: quick answers

Do I need to own Zelda II: The Adventure of Link?
Yes. z2rs needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Browser port finished?
It is in beta: playable, with known issues, with no release so far.
Which systems does it run on?
It runs in a web browser, and also ships for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. z2rs rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.

Maintain z2rs?

  • PlayPorted doesn't run or check this site, and hasn't verified the software it offers. Download and run it at your own risk.
  • You need your own copy of the game. Legitimate projects never give you the game files.
  • If the site looks wrong or hands out game files, report the link and we'll look into it.
