Dave Payrle writes: People have devoted countless hours and entire websites to deciphering the timeline of the Legend of Zelda series. Over the years the games have changed game play and graphical styles, while usually being set in the ever-changing land of Hyrule. A Link Between Worlds breaks the trend of change by setting its story in the same version of Hyrule from the Super Nintendo game A Link to the Past. For fans of the original it’s a delight to return to familiar territory; for anyone else it’s a new world to explore. Either way it’s a superbly crafted, immensely enjoyable experience that anyone owning a 3DS should play.
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.
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.
