A Link Between Worlds Is The Game I Have Been Waiting For Since OoT | Now You're Playing With Super Power! | Forum

I have been waiting a long time for this.

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has it’s issues. But it is the best Zelda game in over a decade!

Action? Check. The monsters in this Zelda game are some of the most dangerous I have fought in a long time.

Adventure? Check. This is THE freest Zelda game to ever come out. The Dungeons are short on puzzle bullshit and high on mazes and exploration.

RPG? Check. Heart Pieces And Armor and weapon upgrades are optional. Weapons and abilities allow you to customize your experience based on your play style. The Drawing mechanic I initially ridiculed and said would be puzzle fodder is instead used to explore the world and even stealth by troublesome enemies.

Story is minimal until the great ending reveal. NPC’s are not near as cringe-worthy or important. I do not feel like an errand boy, I feel like a warrior. The Overworld is fucking brilliant and packed with rewards and secrets. The dungeons are a bit weak yet are a huge jump in the right direction for the series. Beginning is longer than it needs to be but still to the point.

Lorule for being a stupid pun has the same dangerous feel as OoT initially had and ALTTP did masterfully. Weapons have multiple uses in both combat and exploration. Sequence-Breaking is the name of the game. The only real gripe I have is that rupees and other resources are much too common and that it all feels too familiar, as bosses and dungeons are ripped straight out of ALTTP in theme.

But I am now excited for the future of Zelda in a way I have not been in a long time. 

Touche’, Aonuma. And good job!
