    I think that this is a great choise for zelda fans and it's a Good game for begginers on exploring games. Also I feel really nostalgic exploring the hyrule of a link to the past but now with new features like converting link into a paint (Kinda weird but also original). And after all I really recomend this game

    Really good game with great dungeons and interesting puzzles. If you liked Link's Awakening for the Switch, then you'll definitely like this game as they have similar mechanics and features.

    The game is a lot of fun, but it’s not very challenging. Clearly it was made for a child, but that being said, I’m still enjoying it. Just wish there were different difficulty settings. another downside, I’ve almost beat the whole game and it didn’t take very long. All that being said, I still had a blast playing it.

    Best 2D Handheld Zelda!

    Forget The Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks! While those were decent games, their unconventional stylus-only controls and cumbersome game mechanics (repeating dungeon in Phantom and train conducting in Spirit) kept them from being truly great. A Link Between Worlds on the other hand, is text-book Zelda all the way. Being a remake/sequel of sorts to the SNES classic A Link To The Past, ALBW had quite a lot to live up to and it does not disappoint, bringing that great, finely tuned Zelda experience with enough new mechanics and gimmicks to feel fresh (and not half-baked as in the aforementioned DS titles).

    What a nostalgia trip down memory lane! Freaking amazing game. Loved the new gameplay mechanic where Link turns into a painting to move inside walls. This added a great twist to the exploration in the game. Love how they kept the same great music, and added some new songs as well. Big soundtrack. Nothing wrong with this game at all - 5/5

    For anyone who loved Super Nintendo's "A Link to the Past" the best of all the Legend of Zelda games... Get this game. It has everything I loved from that game, but with an improved story, more gameplay, more interesting item collection and use, better puzzles, AND it doesn't involve me pulling my SNES out of storage. I bought it twice. Once on digital when it first came out, and again recently in hard copy when I got a new 3DS and couldn't transfer the game file. No regrets.

    So I had to take a long drive this past weekend and figured I'd buy myself a game to take along the trip when it was my turn to rest; bought this game. It really brought back memories of the old Links Awakening, and more, as the story line really sucks you in. Didn't think I've give a 3Ds game much effort considering I own every other console out there and bought this just to kill time. Just buy it. It's fun, you won't regret it.

    One of my all time favorite LoZ games. Of the top down perspective it is my 2nd favorite, first being its predecessor; A Link to the Past. It stands on its own as a fantastic experience worthy of the Legendary series (pun intended). Gameplay and Music is phenomenal and it may even be worth it to buy a 3ds/2ds JUST for this.

    Another great game for the Legend of Zelda series. Plays like A Link to the Past but with a new twist on an alternate dimension.

    A Modern Classic

    I had already played through this game once before and had sold it online afterwards, but when it dropped to $20, I decided that it deserved to be in my collection, so I picked it up once again. It really is one of the best Zelda games out there, unless you aren't a fan of the overhead style, ala Link's Awakening. Speaking of which, I'd recommend this one over Link's Awakening, maybe even over A Link to the Past, which this release is very much inspired by. But this game has a bit more nuance to its gameplay. I also think it's cool that the way you approach dungeons is more open ended. Not a revolution on the Zelda formula that Breath of the Wild was, but I appreciated the fact that it tried some new things.

    Like you would expect its a Zelda game. All the puzzles all the rupes all the sword slashing bomb tossing you would expect with a few new tricks .Like merging into a wall like a painting to traverse obstacles. Like most Zelda games its a lot fun with interesting puzzles fun bosses and interesting characters.

    This is an excellent game. The graphics, story, music, and game play are top notch. It brings something old (the Link to the Past world) with something new (storyline and mechanics) and does a nice job mixing them together.

    This is a fantastic adventure, even in 2020. There are many secrets to uncover and lots of puzzles to maneuver. I just purchased a 3DS and I'm really enjoying the games that are available for it. This one is a must play.

    Most inventive mechanics in Zelda since Majora's Mask. Quite long, challenging without being frustrating. Especially if you liked the recent Link's Awakening remake, you have to go revisit this modern classic.

    Please give this 3DS game a try if you haven’t already. It’s a top down action game with puzzles throughout that will challenge you. It’s a spiritual successor to A Link to the Past, and it certainly upholds the standard of quality.

    If you are a fan of Link to the Past, this game will hit the nostalgia. I believe it is not quite as involved as LTTP, but it is still a great follow up. It has made some nice improvements on the Zelda formula. I highly recommend.

    I bought a 2DS just so I could play this game, and it definitely didn't disappoint. What a fun, refreshing take on the formula (and world!) established by A Link To The Past. Play this game!

    Love the refreshed take on a classic series. The art is gorgeous, music is reminiscent yet fresh, it's very challenging. I didn't love the weapons system to start, but ended up getting used to it and appreciating it.
