Experience levels

For Zelda II The Adventure of Link on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

Link's attack, magic, and life each run from level 1 to 8. When the experience bar reaches the next number, the game offers a level up in one of the three.

Experience for the next level

Level	Attack	Magic	Life
1	200	100	50

6	5000	3500	2500

At level 8 the 9000 points give one more life instead of a level.
