A nice modern take on a sequel for A Link to the Past. I enjoyed it so much, I started another game file after finishing it, to experience the harder “hero mode” difficulty it had to offer, which was definitely more challenging than the normal difficulty, but not more so than A Link to the Past.What I Liked:+ Traditional ammunition (like arrows for your bow) have been replaced with an energy meter, which regenerates over time+ Link is faster and more responsive than he was in A Link to the Past+ Flight/Broom travel allows you to sort of port to all the different save points you’ve visited, allowing for faster traveling across the world+ Great map/minimap design; clean and informative.+ Sword tempering (upgrading) is instantaneous now, unlike in A Link to the Past, where you had to wait a day or so+ 3D and cutscenes were done well+ Great puzzle design; not too easy nor hard+ A good bit of stuff to do aside from the “main quest,” including minigames and challenges such as the Treacherous Tower.What I Didn’t Like:- Does a couple things differently in regards to the story, and something else a bit unexpected at the end, but is ultimately the same thing you’d expect to see from other Zelda titles. I’m taking one star off because of this, since I’m big on story, and it’s always irked me how truly rehashed this franchise is as far as story is concerned.- Save points. Really? Using these save points is the only way to save your game, rather than being able to save anywhere at anytime.
Common Thought –
The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past is a nostalgic game for me, mainly because it was the first title in the franchise I’ve ever played. The feel of the world is very similar, which is both a good and bad trait of the game (as well as Nintendo franchises in general). The gameplay is excellent bringing Link back to an overhead view while allowing the player to explore the open world in almost any fashion due to the items being rented or bought instead of won in the individual dungeons. This new item mechanic is a drastic change from the previous games and brings a fresh feel to a sequel that could have otherwise felt all too familiar. The graphics and in particular the 3D are very well done and actually enhance the gameplay value in certain dungeons and environmental puzzles. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds for reasons other than I expected. The nostalgia factor is still there, but I really enjoyed the game more because of how they changed the game’s item mechanics and this is truly a worthy successor to what’s possibly the best Zelda title of all time.

I’m a big Zelda fan, but have found some of the later editions lacking. This one gets things back on track by taking us back to basics: 2D, explorable over world without boats or trains or flying around in the sky. The twist is that items are rentable at any point in the game, but it turns out this is a revelation making the Zelda dungeon experience much more non-linear, i.e. when I got stuck I could just exit and go do a different dungeon.If there’s a downside it’s a flaw in most modern games: it’s too easy, especially the boss battles. However, even given that I think this is one of the best Zelda games in years.

I have been playing the series for quite some time and was pleasantly surprised when I was forced to start thinking in different ways. Originally, you think "OK, can’t jump there; it’s too far" and "OK, I need to find a way to get up to that level of the room" but the developers brought in new dynamics (i.e. shifting into the wall and a wand that lets you float straight up) to make it so that you get through dungeons through completely new means. There have been points where I think, I’m trapped in this room!! then I realized, wait, I have an item for this.They also changed the item system–you rent the items until you fall in battle (you can eventually buy for a lot of rupees). This changes the entire thought process behind the rupees. Gone are the days of a maxxed out wallet.

This was one of my favorite Zelda games in a long time. The gameplay was fun, the graphics were good, everything ran smooth and it was very hard to put down.I am not going to get into the story line at all, but it is a Zelda game, so you kind of already know what you are getting into.Some of the special features are cool, like fighting shadow Links that belong to other people you pass by with StreetPass on. I never took it out in public, however someone in a nearby apartment had the game apparently, so I was able to have a few shadow Link battles (just make sure the two items you want to use are equipped before you start the battle).More use of the touch screen would be nice, but was not a let down in any way.If you like Zelda games and you have a 3DS, then you have no excuse to not get this game. Plain and Simple.

A Link Between Worlds was one of those titles I wasn’t sure I would enjoy until I actually sat down and gave it a chance. After that I was really surprised how good it was. This game feels like A Link to the Past in so many ways, but with some really neat new features and so many hours of fun to be had. I’m so glad I gave the game a chance.

One of the loveliest Zelda games I’ve played yet. When I made my new file and began playing it, I already knew that this was gunna be a fun experience. It was just so new to me, given that it was my first handheld Zelda title that was just alil more different than all the others. But that is not bad at all. Bosses here are fun, and they do get harder as you progress (Hell, even Yuga was a challenge if you didn’t know how to handle him: be sure not to use a walkthrough for the time of your life). As for the overworld: Hyrule sets things off in an upbeat tempo. Just seeing princess Zelda’s appearance was humbling indeed. Lorule is a massive challenge: enemies there deal a great deal of damage, second only to the Lynels (man their powers scared the hell out of me: they can easily send you into a game over if you attempt to kill them, so only fight them once you get the Master Sword, as well as an upgraded Ice/Fire rod. Otherwise, avoid them).Before closing, I want to say that getting the cute lil shell babies was fun (I enjoyed their uber cute cries and Luma like eyes) ^_^As for my closing thoughts: Get this game. You won’t be blitzing through it anytime soon because you’ll find the challenge and fond experience in playing this title to be to your liking. Take your time, enjoy the show, and collect as much as you can. I haven’t battled any of Lorule’s bosses yet, but I’m already hooked.

Growing up with The Legend of Zelda and A Link to the Past set the bar fairly high fairly early on in my gaming career. I never had a Nintendo 64, and I did try Windwaker on my Game Cube, but couldn’t get into it. I was very excited when I found out this game was on the 3DS, as it seemed to pay homage to A Link to the Past, and it definitely delivers! It feels like a proper Zelda game. The controls are very responsive, as I’d expect. Overall, I’m pleased with the graphics. The developers did a wonderful job rendering the game, and the ability to jump into the walls adds a very nice dimension to the game play (no pun intended) without feeling too gimmicky. This game definitely scratches that nostalgia itch while simultaneously feeling current. This is a slam dunk!

I was reluctant to buy this game because the last time I played a top-down Zelda game was way back when they released A Link to the Past on GBA, and I didn’t enjoy it. Given that this game exists in the same world, I had low expectations.This game absolutely blew me out of the water. The play-through was incredibly fun, but not as difficult as I would’ve liked. However, I have been playing Zelda games since I was 3, and now I’m 20, so perhaps I’m just used to the puzzles they tend to throw at you. I got a good 30 hours out of my first play-through of this game, and it has great replayability. This is a must-have for any Zelda fan.

If you really like the adventures of Zelda and Link, for great adventure, puzzles and collecting all items, then this game is of your choice. Also having a fresh story apart from A Link to the Past (ALTTP). I mean, is part of the chronology from the universe of Legend of Zelda but different story from ALTP, that will immerse you trough a new adventure, puzzles and bosses.One more to add for the Zelda collection games.
