The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening $34.99 For most fans of the Legend of Zelda series, there are two commonly disputed "best Zelda game ever" titles: A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. While I won't necessarily disagree with this, you almost have to look at the portable Zelda games in a different category. Many of them are, while officially licensed and every bit bonafide canon, not made purely by Nintendo's in-house development teams (for those who find this as news, most of the portable games have been developed by Capcom). This is, hands-down, the best portable Zelda game ever, and my own personal second favorite, with A Link to the Past coming first, and Ocarina of Time coming third. Link's Awakening is the first in a long, ever-growing line of portable Zelda games, and I have to say it really doesn't get better than this! There is just that perfect balance of action, exploration, puzzle solving, and a dash of side quest that makes a Zelda game feel "right." Where later portable Zelda games fall short by forcing players into poorly executed minigames, lengthy and confusing trade quests, and generally disappointing level and boss designs, Link's Awakening serves up imaginative original bosses, and some rehashes of bosses from previous games, as well as dungeon levels ranging from short and simple to surprisingly complex (yet still fun and manageable!). And like any good Zelda game, the difficulty level is right in the ball park of being just challenging enough that you may die a few times, but not so confusing as to make you throw the game aside while you frustratedly search a walkthrough for help. As is to be expected of a portable Zelda game, there's no actual Zelda character involved and the Triforce are nowhere to be seen, but for some of us, that's somewhat refreshing. Your ultimate goal in the game is to collect several magical instruments (a theme now found in many Zelda games) and solve the mystery of how Link ended up on the mysterious Koholint Island. I like to consider Link's Awakening the last true Legend of Zelda game, since every Zelda game after it has been either in full 3D or has been some Capcom mess that just doesn't quite hit the nail on the head. If your favorite Zelda games are the Oracle pair, Minish Cap, Majora's Mask or the Windwaker/Phantom Hourglass games, this may not be for you, but for recent fans or long-time Zelda fans looking for a return to the roots of the Zelda series without being tied down to a console, this is undoubtedly the best choice.  The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Prima Strategy Guide) $12.99 Excellent book!!! It helped my kids and myself complete the game! Help alot during complicated levels. |
