Shigeru Miyamoto thinks Zelda 2 was "sort of a failure," and A Link to the Past is the "real sequel"

Shigeru Miyamoto believes that Zelda 2: Adventure of Link was a commercial and critical failure, considering The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to be the true sequel to the original game. He suggests that the reception of Zelda 2 influenced the series' return to its classic style with A Link to the Past, which then laid the groundwork for future titles like Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild.
