A Link Between Worlds sees the Zelda series bravely return not only to its top-down roots, but also to the exact Hyrule map from the SNES classic A Link to the Past. Impressively and faithfully recreated in full 3D, old Hyrule looks fantastic in its new form, with new life and vibrancy breathed into every inch of the iconic map.
Nintendo have also opted for a new-look Link here, his image more akin to his depictions in ancient instruction manuals than in recent outings. It’s smartly done, almost as if trying to depict Link as they wanted to in the 90s, but were unable due to hardware constraints.
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.
