    Me lo acabo de pasar y honestamente es mejor que las dos entregas grandes del Nintendo Switch. Una obra maestra y un Zelda como debe de ser.

    One of the best 2D Zelda's ever made. Has some of the best puzzles and ideas from the series in it.

    Finally a newer Zelda game that didnt disappoint, this game did a great job bringing back the magic of the old school Zelda games like A Link to the Past. One of the best in my opinion.

    It's pretty great, a good portable zelda game and a really fun sequel to one of the best games in the series.

    Un juego con gran diseño de mazmorras, su mecánica de la pintura es exquisita y la del alquiler de objetos también.

    Awesome game, worth every penny I spent. I love the ability to choose which dungeons you want to tackle first with the item renting service and the short but sweet story.

    My favorite game franchise of all time, more a fan of the 3d ones but this one and a Link to the Past really please me. Love the wall merge painting mechanics and soundtrack is perfect (like every Zelda game).

    Muy buen juego, histortia, narrativa y personajes. Fue nominado al GOTY of the year del año y sinceramente se lo merece y no nos podemos olvidar que fue un juego portátil que estaba compitiendo con GTA V o The Last Of Us. Si tienes una Nintendo 3DS tienes que probar este juego Sí o sí.

    Basically a remake version to link to the past. Combat is great with lots of news items such as the fire and ice staff. The dungeons are also great, my favourite dungeon is either the thieves hideout dungeon or the shadow dungeon (the dark one). The open world is also great especially exploring the differences between the light and dark world. The arena on the mountain was also really funBasically a remake version to link to the past.

    In my top 5 games ever played.
    A golden standard for all Zelda games to strive for. A beautiful return to 2.5D gameplay with a perfect execution of exploration, dungeon design, and progression.

    A Link between words, the mentally successor of "A link to the past", is a masterpiece of a Zelda game. The dungeons are very different and the game reintroduce some of the greatest Zelda ideas, like the Escort-Dungeons in Wind Waker and it has many nostalgic moments and allusions of older games. At the same time, the game has so many unique and new ideas and mechanics. Wonderful

    A very well-made retelling of an original legend, A Link Between Worlds is the best modern 2D Zelda game. It's simple but effective - the dungeons are intelligently and distinctly designed, the plot and concept are straightforward yet engaging, and the overall pacing makes the game very enjoyable.

    my first Zelda game and has been in my top three Zeldas ever since

    Nueva aventura de Link sobre el mapeado de A Link to the Past, con mecánicas nuevas y total libertad de elección de mazmorras. Creativo y original a la hora de moverte sobre paredes. Simplemente genial.

    I really loved this game. Great graphics, storyline and controls. I really liked that you could choose in which order you wanted to complete the dungeons and you could exchange your things as you wanted and you didn't need to collect arrows etc.

    This game is an greatly sufficient way to play A Link to the Past. The story is different and there are some new mechanics and all dungeons are different but the map is the same. So I believe it's a better version that isn't aged and with way more content and newly added mechanics, as well as the 3D aspect.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ok, in my opinion, this game is better than a link to the past. I could not stop- playing it even if I promised myself to stop after a certain part. I like how it has more gimmicks than the other game. The dungeons are very good too but I struggled on a few like the ones where you get the master ore but other than that, most dungeons were reasonably challenging. I also like how different it is to the other zelda games due to the renting items systems. The game is a cross between the first zelda, a link to the past, and breath of the wild due to the game being open world and the renting system in which you have the items straight away rather than going through dungeons to get them. I will say that the dungeons are better than botw but that's a 3d game. The only problem with the game is the final boss battle. Like it's dumb how you can't shoot the arrows from behind you in a wall until it's last phase and that's how you beat it. Great ending, dumb execution. To go back on the positives, I like how the music changes as you progress. Lastly I like how the story has males getting kidnapped too.… Expand

    A Zelda hand-held title that not only piggy-backs off the setting of “A Link to the Past”, but builds on it with enough new twists that make it its own. It’s still the tried and starting-to-get-tiresome top-down Zelda experience.

    Если считать ALBW сиквелом к ALTTP, то это как Mass Effect 2 в сравнении с Mass Effect 1. Достаточно простая и понятная, но иногда плохо готовит к некоторым боссам. Перед финальным злом пришлось подкачаться, а то становилось больно.

    A very good action RPG in a sandbox-like Hyrule. The game features a redefined equipment progression along with the nice flattening trick. It's a bit on the easy side, though. [Dec 2013]

    A Link Between Worlds is a Zelda for people who have become disillusioned with Zelda over the years. It recalls the series' roots while also taking unique advantage of the 3DS hardware to create something that feels new. They may not make them exactly like they used to anymore, but Link Between Worlds shows that they still recognize what made them great in the first place.

    Much is the same in A Link Between Worlds. Just like in A Link to the Past you follow Link from a birds-eye perspective in both light and dark worlds. But A Link Between Worlds is not merely a simple game of nostalgia but one that perfectly blends the new and old Zelda games. The result is one of the best games in the series.
