    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.

    edit: just a couple hours after initially making this review, I've decided to change it from 9 to 10. I love the puzzles with their infinitely creative solutions and beautiful designs and themes.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

All boss fights were great and I love how you can upgrade the master sword with special ores. Overall an amazing game that got all the basics right.… Expand

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

    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.

    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).

    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.

    Mid at best. Art style is undoubtedly great, but its just another top down Zelda game that has one new gimmick. Forgettable, simplistic story and "puzzles" that are tedious than entertaining. If you want to know how engaging this is, try to stop playing it for a while then come back. You won't want to continue and won't remember a thing about it.

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

    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.
