- Reviewed in Canada on June 12, 2025Verified PurchaseQuick to arrive and great quality.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 14, 2016Verified PurchaseAlong with Super Mario 3D Land, this is probably one of the best titles for the 3DS. My son got a New 3DS and being someone that spent a fair amount of time gaming when I was younger and had all sorts of time on my hands I still try to find time to play games now and then but find it difficult to get into larger scale games but this one has been perfect for me. The fact that I can just pick up the 3DS during the evenings and get through a "chunk" of A Link Between Worlds in a short period and reach a save point and put it down has meant that I've actually been able to enjoy it and keep coming back to it to make progress.
I'm probably about half way through the game now and feel like the amount of content in the game, not even counting the optional grinds (finding the Maimai babies?). It's very much a classic and approachable Zelda title and one that I felt instantly "at home" in regardless of the fact that a good portion of the game requires use of the "becoming two dimensional" mechanic - which I thought was going to be silly but really adds a thoughtful layer to the exploration and puzzle solving to this game. Many of the three dimensional Zelda titles, I just couldn't stick with for whatever reason - and while I know titles like Ocarina of Time are highly regarded, for me, A Link Between Worlds is the perfect Zelda and I personally hope that they make more just like it.
While save points are relatively plentiful and you do come across them often enough to avoid becoming too annoyed, I still would have preferred a quick save option so I could literally drop it on a whim, sometimes when you're in the middle of a dungeon you just have to trudge through it to avoid losing your progress (unless you are willing to just suspend the game until next time, not something that works well when you know your kid is going to want to pick it up and play something else).
The game is also, arguably, too easy. I have never actually died yet, and very infrequently had to rely on health restoring items. In a sense the forgiving nature of making mistakes does help you just enjoy the other non combat options of the game without getting worked up about re-doing anything over and over (oh long gone are the days when I would be willing to play a game on maximum difficulty and re-do each section two dozen times). Fall off a cliff? You lose a measly half a heart for that mistake. While there are some enemies that will take a sizable chunk out of your life if you run afoul of them, they are few and far between so far and in general very easy to avoid and none of the enemies do anything particularly intelligent.
All in all, it is games like this that validate the continued existence of the 3DS and I would buy it again and would have still been happy if I had paid the full original MSRP for it.

mais celui là il m'a redonné envie de jouer au autre Zelda sur switch.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2024Verified PurchaseThis was FUN. me and my bf are big fans of link to the past and this game really feels like the perfect sequel. The puzzles are fun, the characters are cool, the story is great. 10/10 really good game
- Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2014Verified PurchaseFantastic addition to the LoZ world. It feels much like Link to the Past but with a whole different story much like most of the other LoZ games.
If you were ever a fan of the older titles then this will be a real treat for you. However, because it's much like the older titles like SNES,etc. You can easily beat this game in about 8-10 hours? Depending on if you're going for a complete 100% playthrough of the game (Be warned one Heart Fragment is won through a very annoying minigame).
That one minigame is one of my few gripes with this game. Look up Ocotoball for this game and you'll see what I mean.
There is Hero Mode that lets you play the game again where enemies do several times more damage while also unlocking some hidden plot devices. There's also a sub-mission where you rescue transdimensional squid babies...I'm serious....to get the item upgrades and possibly the most OP thing ever once you rescue all 100.
A must have for all LoZ fans.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2013Verified PurchaseThis game is awesome. I am on the second time around. I found it harder to get to the boss in the dungeons than killing the boss at the end. There are so many different things to do in this game. The storyline is excellent. You must do challenges to obtain hearts. I did not do two of them. The race and the chicken challenge. Therefore I only ended up with 19 full hearts. You can finish the game with only 19, so no problem. Buy this game. It also is a long game. It took me a week to play it. I played it a 3 or 4 hours every afternoon. This may sound funny, but I enjoyed this game more than any other Zelda game. At first the Windwaker was the best, but this game tops the heap.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 8, 2024Verified PurchaseHad a lot of fun playing
- Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2014Verified PurchaseAn excellent throw back to A Link To The Past with updated graphics, challenging puzzles and fantastic gameplay. Kept me occupied for many, many hours and has a great story line with a satisfying ending. A must-have for any Zelda lover - especially someone who played the classic games!
The game itself was one of the more challenging puzzle Zelda games, but easier on the actual combat side. An excellent game with great reply value. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Zelda Entry- Merging the New and the Old
Verified PurchaseA Link Between Worlds manages to combine the grand feeling of exploration from the older Zelda titles with some welcome innovations that allow the game to feel fresh and exciting throughout. After beating this game, finding all the Maimais, getting all the weapon upgrades, and almost all the heart pieces I can easily say that ALBW is my favorite handheld Zelda and one of my favorite titles in the series.
Music:
The music in this Zelda entry is very impressive. The tracks are beautiful and diverse they really help to give the different locations and dungeons a distinct feel. The new versions of old Zelda tracks and the new tracks are all great and they really add atmosphere to the game.
Graphics:
The graphics really look great on the 3DS and I like the art style Nintendo choose for the game. It is pretty awesome to see A Link to the Past's Hyrule redone with modern graphics. That said I'm used to playing older video games so any graphics that have a good artistic style and are not bland look good to me.
Controls:
The controls in this game are very smooth and precise. They allow for precision that has been absent in many of the more recent Zelda titles.(The DS Zeldas, Skyward Sword)
Story:
Nintendo took a more minimalist approach to the story of A Link Between World, akin to the stories of the older Zeldas. There is not a long prologue nor long cutscenes throughout the game and the overall story is fairly straight forward. Many of the characters in the game are not even named, and there is little character development in general. That said the more central characters to the story have intriguing motivations and conflicts that really drew me into the story. One thing that I liked about the story is that it lacked the cheesiness that some recent Zeldas stories have had. I still prefer the stories of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Wind Waker but I thought the story fit the game well while motivating the player to reach the end. I also really liked the ending and how they tied everything together. To sum myself up I thought the game was not story heavy, but the story that was told was very good.
Gameplay:
Dungeons
The dungeons in A Link Between Worlds have some really inventive puzzles and are a lot of fun. The various dungeons are all unique and well-designed. The variety in puzzles and structure keep the dungeons interesting and never repetitive. While I did not really get stuck playing this game the puzzles posed enough of a challenge to be rewarding to solve. The only downside to the dungeons is that they are all fairly short. To be fair, this shorter length is probably better for a portable game and it also helped to keep the game feeling more fast-paced and concise.
Bosses
The bosses are fun and the strategies needed to defeat them vary immensely. While most of the bosses are basically new, there are a couple bosses from A Link to the Past, but the strategies needed to defeat them have changed slightly. The bosses in this game are substantially easier then bosses in earlier Zelda titles like A Link to The Past and LInk's Awakening and they really do not pose much of a challenge. When I played older titles like A Link to The Past and LInk's Awakening, I had to fight some bosses multiple times before I could defeat them. In contrast, I beat almost all the bosses in this game in one try.(Even though I did have to use fairies at some points) Overall the bosses were fairly easy but still a lot of fun.
Exploration
I think one of this game's greatest aspects is the sense of exploration and adventure. The game really encourages you to scour the entire game world in search of the dungeons and collectables. The ability to rent and buy the game's items allows the player to tackle Lorule's dungeons in whatever order they please. This makes exploration a central part of the game and as you transverse Hyrule and Lorule you are constantly finding new things such as dungeon entrances, collectables, mini-dungeons, etc. This variety of things to find and do makes this over world far more entertaining and vibrant then many of the over worlds of the 3-D Zeldas. I felt like I was discovering news things over the entire course of the adventure. As I played through this game I felt as though I stumbling upon dungeons while exploring the world, rather then simply seeking them out.
Overall:
I really liked A Link Between Worlds and I thought it did a good job of capturing the spirit of the classic Zeldas while incorporating some new innovative concepts such as Ravio's shop and the item meter. I would also like to add that the Merge ability is pretty cool and helped to bring a new dimension to the game, without becoming a gimmick. This game was really fun the entire play through and I do not think I ever came across a dull moment. The Legend of Zelda is my favorite video game series and I think A Link Between Worlds deserves a spot among the best games of the series.
Pros:
-Grand Sense of Exploration
-Great Music
-Great Dungeon and Boss Design
-Vibrant and Interesting Over worlds
-Good Story
-Interesting Characters
-Cool Merge ability
-Cool Upgrades
-Lots of Collectables and Mini-games
Cons:
-Fairly easy (In Zelda terms, I need to play hero mode next to see the differences)

5.0 out of 5 stars Una joya
Verified PurchaseTremendo juegazo. Para mí es irrelevante que sea de distinta región ya que es solo un pequeño sellito abajo a la derecha que realmente no le hace ruido a nada. Pude ampliar mi colección de Zelda gracias al precio que tenía y está valiendo toda la pena. Llegó muy bien empaquetado y en un estado impecable, completamente nuevo y un día antes de lo estipulado. Completamente complacido
