This game is not for Zelda fans

If you liked The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening and you want more of the same, do not buy this game. I've had it for one day and I am trading it in. It is nothing like the other Zelda games; the graphics are different and it is side scrolling instead of overhead view. There are no clues. I didn't get past the first level - and I didn't want to continue. It is not fun or interesting. I felt like I was playing something like Ms. Pac Man.

The only Zelda game that I didn't finish

I have been a fan of Zelda from day one. All the games and all the platforms. But I found this one to be intensely irritating and that is not something I look for in a game. It can be ridiculously difficult to get to some of the palaces and with only three lives and few if any fairys or towns to recharge at it gets real old real fast. The so called Vally of Death to get to the final palace was the last straw for me. If you like repetition, then this is the game for you but I can find better things to do with my time.

Cool Zelda Game :P

This game is great! The only side-scrolling game in the series. I'm a huge fan of Zelda games, but I get frusterated from all the aimless running around. This game is perfect for those who just wants a Zelda game that HAS LEVELS WITH ENDING! Seriosly, all Zelda fans should get it :p.

PS: This game is also for new guys to the series :p.

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.

I love the classic NES series! Here we have the only Legend of Zelda game that is side scrolling. This is very reminiscent of games like Metroid and Castlevania 2. Some have expressed their dislike for this particular chapter in the Legend of Zelda saga, but I think they are insane! This adventure is definitely worth embarking on.

Stuck On It...

I love this game, especially since my brother never let me play our NES way back when I was five. Now I get to experience it with my GBA. But I'm stuck in the game, on the last two castles (the purple one and the green one.) I can't figure out how to kill that red ghost boss, or that blue one with the big mallet with spikes. I love this game to death, but I can't play it the way I used to because of my being stuck. I do think these graphics look better than the normal GBA ones for some reason. Maybe cause you can actually see Link's face, and not just a big blur like when they try making the graphics good. I really like the "Classic NES Series" for Gameboy Advance. It's pure fun.

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 would 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.

Very Hard! Cool Sound Effects!

This is an exact remake of the nintendo classic. The grafics are poor compared to todays standards, and the game is hard but you have to take into consideration when this game was origonaly released, by those standards it was of the highest quality.

Dispite its age and substandard grafics the game is challanging and fun and different from all of the other common Zelda games in the navigation of the world and the view of the game. You navigate useing a map and view the game from the side in a standard side scrolling manner.
