Abstract: The last couple of years the new Zelda games in the series focused on presenting the world in exciting ways. While I enjoyed the efforts of Skyward Sword, I wasn't overly taken by it as I hoped I would. With that in mind, I was in utterly excited when ...

Abstract: The formula for a game like The Legend of Zelda is not something you mess with. It's a timeless classic that has proven so successful that releasing an HD remake of one of the Zelda titles was the biggest sales bump the Wii U had seen since launch day. Fo...
Abstract: Let's begin this review with a simple question.“Is it fair to compare The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds to the SNES classic, A Link to the Past?”It's certainly a hard act to follow, but when a game is claiming to be the long overdue direct sequel...

Abstract: The top-down Zelda games started as console releases on the NES and SNES, but as 3D graphics took precedence, the flatter rendition of Hyrule was relegated to the portable platforms. Some have been better than others (here's to you, Minish Cap), but virtu...

Recaptures the magic of Link to the Past and improves on everything. Is challenging enough to be satisfying but not frustrating.
Hyrule seems a little too familiar
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super NES was arguably the greatest Zelda game ever. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds on the Nintendo 3DS beats it....
Abstract: The past few Zelda games, while still very good, have been designed around gimmicks. Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks featured touch controls and Skyward Sword hung its hat on motion controls. The first original 3DS Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: ...

The Zelda series returns to its roots on 3DS, but uses the opportunity to introduce some fascinating new ideas. Classic gameplay, infused with fresh concepts and graced with stellar graphics and sound, make A Link Between Worlds one of the best games in t...
