The Mario Bros. might be icons the world over, but it's Link and 'The Legend of Zelda' that seems to inspire the most lifelong fans of perhaps any single game franchise. Even so, the handheld versions have historically been like a progression of off-shoots. Now though, the SNES favorite 'A Link to the Past' has been the basis for a new 3DS sequel, ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.' This is the most personalized game in the franchise to date, and yet the story is among the most sterile. The dungeons are phenomenal, but the overworld is drab, if intelligently designed and easy to, within it, lose yourself in exploration.
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.
Holy shit, a reviewer who's actually critical of the things that didn't work in ALBW. Unlike IGN/10 this review is pretty much spot-on to my experience with ALBW too. Great by the numbers and very enjoyable, but the story and overworld are sterile. That's why I hope the ALBW trend is a one-off.
why 4 and not 5/5?? What he wants more from a Zelda title??
