Underrated Zelda sequel, deserving of any fan's attention
This particular Zelda sequel has gotten the short end of the stick for far too long, it's time to set the record straight!
The first thing to remark about this installment is that, for the most part, it is a side-scrolling platformer-esque title. It's OK, its differen't, doesn't mean it's bad, don't be afraid!
Truth is I love jumping around, landing on baddies and all that good stuff.
This is the first zelda to have a world map. The first one was essentially one large outdoor dungeon. It's the first zelda to make you interact with characters to get things done. Honestly I think the music is quite well done as well. All the attention seems to go to the original, Link to the Past or Ocarina.
Adventures of Link is the middle child of the zelda franchise, but it has a lot to offer, if you can stick with it. It can be frustratingly hard as any good retro game can be, but stick with it and you too will learn the upward thrust, the downward thrust, a spell to turn you into a fairy (not that there's anything wrong with that) and how to use a simple hammer to break huge daunting roadblocks.
Not so great after all
This game is just okay. I had heard good things about it, but the graphics aren't very good at all.
The greatest Zelda Adventure is the original sequel
I wasted many an afternoon in my youth playing this game, running from the blue knights, building up experience so I could max out my stats and trying to finish the Great Palace of course.
This is still considered by many to be the most difficult game ever made for a console, but while that may imply that it is quite frustrating at times (yes. . . it is. . .) it has to be noted that this game is more addicting to fans of action and RPGs than Tetris ever was to anyone else.
I had so much fun playing this game as a kid and this GBA cart and the original Zelda on GBA are the only reasons that I own a GameBoyAdvance. So great being able to play a game from your childhood while you are on your lunchbreak at work.
The Zelda Carts for GBA are the "must-buys" of the system in my opinion as well as Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Buy this guy and get a feel for where it all began.
