Never have I been so compelled about a product that I’ve to write a review of it barely an hour after buying it. I’ve owned a Game Boy Advance (GBA) for a few years, but I haven’t played a single game on it at all. It was a gift from an insurance policy I bought quite some time back, and I wasn’t really into hand-held consoles then. In fact, I’m still not into them, or I’d have grabbed the PSP or the DS when I was…
I first played this game on the NES, I didn't get that far, until I got it on Gameboy Advance. I fell in love with the game, because when I had played it on the NES, I didn't know what I was doing. I played it for a while, and beat it a few times. It truly is a great sequel, and it is somewhat underrated. Here is my review: This second Zelda adventure brings something new to the series. It uses RPG elements of…
It's cool to be able to play all of these great Zelda games without having to constantly swap discs. They all seem to work just fine with the GameCube controller. The Legend of Zelda: The game that started it all. The Legend of Zelda is fun, but sometimes the controls don't work as well as they could. Still, the sprites are well designed, the dungeons are fun, like always and the items are here and work great. The…

The moon is plumetting towards the earth and in just 72 hours all must be overcome to avert the catrastrophe. Link returns in the year 2000 release of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for the Nintendo 64. You need an Expansion pak to play on this game on your N64 so be prepard to get one. While the gameplay is near exact to Ocarina of Time, this game is completeley different. Links gets attaked by a skull kid…
The Good: A Link to the Past is intact, and the graphics are on par with the SNES's look; Four Swords is fun, working with and against your friends is as awesome as anyone could hope, and easy to dive into; the controls are mapped flawlessly; the music is top notch, especially on a GBA; A Link to the Past still has an awesome, long campaign; A Link to the Past is portable. The Bad: Four Swords is four levels long;…

The Good: An original, deep story, especially for a handheld; zany humor just adds to entertainment; another massive world is here to explore, and it isn't Hyrule for a change; beautiful graphics; surprisingly good music; plenty of items, many of which are new to the series. The Bad: Random Mario things thrown in, while sometimes humorous, really don't fit; the game relies on the original Zelda's exploration, as…

The Good: Awesome controls; beautiful graphics for GBC; surprisingly dynamic music, even by GBA standards; impressive length and replayability; plenty of enjoyable sidequests and minigames; a relatively unique and enjoyable story; plenty of new game mechanics such as the rings, seeds, and riding three animals; link system works perfectly. The Bad: The games came out so late in the GBC's life; it's incredibly…
The Good: Switching between the GBA screen and the Cube's is intuitive and well executed; the game is fun no matter how many players there are; the music is as wonderful as ever; humor helps make the game more friendly to newcomers; the controls are tight; you can throw your friends into holes; the game's huge; it's awesome puzzling out a Zelda game with the help of others; it'll remind you of A Link to the Past in…

With the next generation of handheld gaming (set to be ushered in by the Game Boy Advance) just weeks away, it seems more than a little strange that Capcom has decided to release two simultaneous Zelda titles on the near-defunct Game Boy Colour. However, soon after starting Oracle of Ages, I realised that this is no rushed cash-in product. OOA squeezes every last ounce of power from the GBC, producing a wonderfully…
Well, what can I say? Zelda's done it again, however, this time, in a more "drawn" fashion with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The Wind Waker contains everything we love about Nintendo's long running fantasy series concerning Link's adventures, but also giving these grand franchise a stylistic handrawn apperence to it, and containing a solid amount of depth for all Zelda fans to truly endorse in. The story of…
As far as works of art go The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is up there with the Best-of-the-Best. And in my opinion this game is answerable only to Wind Waker (Yes thats right) From waking up in Kokori to delivering the final stabbing blow to Ganon in the ruins of his castle. This game lives and breathes adventure and its one of those games that you know is going to be good before you even open the shiny gold…
Ever since the first ads for the Wii came out, we have been waiting to see whether the Wii-mote would make a good point-and-shoot controller. The Wii Zapper and Link's Crossbow Training are a decent attempt to make the Wii a viable platform for first person shooters. For the most part, the package is solid, and it is made a lot more enticing by its budget price. The Zapper turns out to be a good peripheral for…
Bring WindWaker style Zelda to your GBA! With simple smooth controls you'll battle your way through the lands once again to save the princess! But this time you are aided by none other than a talking hat?! The Bosses are great with each requiring a style to addapt to defeat them, The Items are what you expect from a Zelda game but thats no surprise! Also you have the ability to shrink which helps you slip in to all…
Well firstly I'd like to point out that I am a great fan of the Cel-Shaded verisions of the Zelda games having really enjoyed WW I was curious to see how nintendo could give me the same experiance on the DS. I must say this is by far the easiest of the Zelda games, Boss fights (even though well thought out) I could beat on the first attempt and most dungeons being very quick to complete. I found the sea sailing…
