Zelda port greatness

The port of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and the added on Four Swords is A great GBA experiance. A Link to the Past is (I think) the greatest GBA game. Four Swords is A great multiplayer experiance also.

awesome

This game kicks ass! This is the one that got me into Zelda in the 1st place. Back then on the SNES, this game was revolutionary due to its gameplay and story. Basically a evil wizard Agahnim imprisons Zelda and you have to save her. But thats just the least of your problems cuz when you do, you travel to light and dark worlds to stop a sinister villain. This game is lengthy as hell but its all good fun. Plenty of secrets to find and the SNES version had the Chris Hoolihan room with tons of blue rupees but you wont find it here in the GBA version unfortunately. It still stands the test of time as its the best 2D Zelda ever. If you can find this game, cherish it.

Best Zelda game ever

Link to the Past. Need i say more? Zelda:Link to the Past is the best Zelda game i have ever played.It is countless hours of fun,and it's cheap. It is the only GBA game i ever play anymore.In Link to the Past, you are trying to rescue the seven princess from Ganon, who has kidnapped them.You traverse the light and dark worlds in search of the crystals that hold the princess. Along the way, you meet people that help you out, and enemys that want to kill you. If you have never played Link to the Past, then you are missing out on one of the greatest games ever.

The greatest 2D Zelda adventure

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Game Boy Advance is a port of SNES game with the same name with no improvements over the original, but since the game is so good, you won't be complaining. The story is fairly standard of a Zelda game: Zelda gets kidnapped and you must bring peace to Hyrule. As with any Zelda game, the music has wonderful melodies and is quite catchy. Nothing noteworthy about the graphics, though. And what is Zelda without the brain bending dungeons? There are 9 dungeons making sure to keep you entertained until the very end of the game. This game is one that no GBA owner should be without.

2d zelda i hardly know ya

awsome i gotta admit i was reluctant to play my first 2d zelda (past 5 min into it i mean) because all the others you start out being lost and i never got past 5 min in the first one because of that. but here i am half way through saying "2d zelda i hardly know you and for that im sorry". Why? because this catrige is not an ugly duckling cuz it fits right in. great gamplay, puzzles, dungeons everywhere . . . yep its a zelda game.

A CLONE!

Man, this game is the ultimate of those hand held zelda and link games, its just so cool. everything is the same as the snes version. its like playing snes like a game boy. the sound is the same as playing it on the snes. same songs! those songs will get stuck in my head forever! which is good. i love just playing the flute, cuz it sounds so cool. this game is difficult as the snes version. so you will need a strategy guide for those who forgot all the ways to beat the bosses and to get all those secrets 5.0 ACROSS THE BOARD!!

a perfect port

zelda gets four thumbs up. its a perfect port of the original. first of all, the graphics are colorful, and theres al ways something moving on the screen. the sound, though a bit primitive, holds up with its own zelda- like sounds. the only bad thing about it is, that link yells every time he swings his sword, which can get really annoying over long periods of gameplay or when your frustrated. the controls handle smoothly, because you would rather use the advance as a controller than the super nintendo. so, this game is a perfect port with a trillion helpful side quests. though it may dissapoint some, this game is a must buy for anyone looking to expand their gameboy library. fun factor: this game will piss you off, but you will have fun with it

a Link to the past, Literaly...

If you didn't know this game was on the SNES, but they cut out the Sercert room and added in the "four swords" version, diffenety worth it...
