However, in saying that, it certainly charmed its way into my personal list of favored titles by simply being good at what it does. That’s not something that too many games can say these days since many of the “AAA” titles that have GOTY awards flowing out of their ears, usually have a laundry list of mechanical, narrative, and design flaws. This game knows what it is, plays to those strengths, and makes no attempts to “spread itself out” into other styles of gameplay or genres. Essentially, unless you’re not a fan of classic hack’n’slash adventure titles then the game should never never overstay it’s welcome. Above all else, it manages to accomplish some level of innovation by changing up the conventional design, and one can only hope that this is a sign of what’s to come!"
The Nintendo 3DS' The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is now 10 years old, yet remains a remarkable experience.
Calling this classic feels so weird to me. It's still the newest game in the old style... hope they make another one.
I would love a remake of Link to the Past, one in a similar vain to Link's Awakening.
it was an awesome game and utilized the 3D very well on the 3DS. A Link to the Past is one of my favorite Zelda games, so this one being a true sequel to that title really hit home with me.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.
Zelda games are all incredible, but the series shines particularly bright on handhelds.
