Should X-2 Be considered a "true FF"

[Darth Chocobo]

I actually liked Zelda 2, it just should not have beed associated with Zelda at all, it was closer to a 'Zelda-nized' Castlevania, you can change a game greatly and it still be like it's predecesors, Castlevania 2, for instance though a "side scroller", that was really the only thing that was familliar & yet it was a great game and distinctly Castlevania, Zelda's Ocarnia & Twilight were huge changes, but they held on to what made a Zelda game so good, I can't really explain it, but...now it took me a long time to get used to the first person 'Metroids', I liked them, but like the other Zelda's, the hung on to something that made it feel like Metroid, Zelda 2, though a good game for the time, was not a Zelda game to me !!!
