The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

THE GOOD:
-Visuals -Soundtrack -Controls -Story

THE BAD:
-Repetitive Gameplay

SUMMARY:
The Introduction The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past was one of the best games on the SNES and still today it doesn't disappoint. The graphics are great in this game, though not the best their still wonderful, Capcom and Nintendo did a tremendous job on remaking this game, making the music great like the other Zelda. Like all Zelda games there are many secrets to find, dungeons to explore, and enemies to kill to complete your quest. A Link To The Past Link's quest is to save princess Zelda from Agahnim, an evil sorcerer. Agahnim tricked the king and his guard into doing whatever he pleases, so with the soldiers of Hyrule chasing after our Hero, Link must find a way to defeat Agahnim before Hyrule is taken into the Golden Land. So obviously Link has allot of work cut out for him and it's not going to be easy. A Link To The Past plays like other...

THE GOOD:
Contains a demo of the four swords adventure.
Quite a long and challenging game.

THE BAD:
Sometimes gets a little too challenging.

SUMMARY:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favourite Zelda game for the Gameboys at the moment. It's a really hard game to play through as there are quite a few dungeons and puzzles through out the game and many of them are very challenging. The game is quite long which is good. The graphics are quite good and in some cases can actually look 3D. There are a variety of places to go and all of them are pretty good with music to suit the theme. The demo that comes with it is on the same catridge as this and gives you a taste of what the four swords adventure is like.

Overall i'd say this is a VERY good game and well worth getting as it is fun and will last you a while.

I was a huge fan of Zelda growing up, for the NES and the SNES, and i just got the GBA and this game over the weekend, and I lvoe it. everythinng is exactly the same as the original! i don't know how they did it, even the GFX look pretty good, most other games look a bit pixelated. This game is on my top 5 list, forever and always.. The bosses seems harder to defeat in my opinion mainyl because i am used to the Wind Waker lol. But all together i think this might just be the evry best Game Boy Advance game out there, and will be for a while until the new game comes out later this year....I encourage all of you to get your butts out to EB Games or GameStop, wherever you shop for games, and buy this game, quickly! It isn't that expensive, I bout it along with the SP, and I made it under $100, but i disounted the SP.. Just get out there and play it for god's sake! good job Zelda team

THE GOOD:
The storyline, graphics, and music in this game are exceptional. The Four Swords multi-player is a fun little game that makes the game worth getting if you have already played the SNES version.

THE BAD:
The controls aren't perfect and the battle system needs a little work.

SUMMARY:
The latest installment in the Zelda series isn't as new as you might think. In fact, the original came out in 1992 for the SNES. If you have played the SNES version, this new release for the GBA has some small changes. The most noticeable changes are in the music and the graphics. However the storyline is EXACTLY the same. But this time around Nintendo has added a new multi-player adventure. This multi-player game is not only fun if you have a few friends to play it with, but it will also unlock some new features that you can use in the main game. Unfortunately, without Four Swords this game isn't worth getting.

Just like in the...

THE GOOD:
Good multiplayer mode if you have friends with GBs and their own copies of this game. Single player game has some limited retro appeal.

THE BAD:
If you don't care about multiplayer, you are essentially paying $30 for a 9 year old game, complete with truly lame graphics, and comparatively shallow gameplay. Moreover, by buying this game, GBA consumers are sending the message that we want cobwebbed old SNES shovelware instead of new and cutting edge designs.

SUMMARY:
Geez, owning a GB Advance is real frustrating. You have masterpieces like Golden Sun and Metroid Fusion, you have massive amounts of unplayable junk, and then you have the growing number of retro ports which are sort of fun in a simple cheesy way but hardly push the GBA design envelope, like Phantasy Star, Contra, and ... this.

Not to say that LTTP wasn't a great game back in 93. It was, and retains some play value to this day. But not $30 worth. The graphics...
