LINK BETWEEN WORLDS ZELDA HOT SERIES

In A Link Between Worlds, you play as Link, a young man who seems to have a knack for getting himself involved in magnificent feats of endangerment and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The question is – was that something Zelda fans, nay, I wanted in a Zelda game? Or was it better for Nintendo to keep A Link to the Past… well… in the past? The Missing Link Although it was a fully 3D game, it wore it’s inspirations on its sleeve in both it’s design aesthetics and its gameplay mechanics. That is until 2013, when Nintendo put on their phrygian caps and grabbed their nostalgia sword by the hilt and carved up A link Between Worlds.

With the move to 3D we wouldn’t really see anything like it again, at least not on the big screen. I would eventually go back and revisit the previous two games in the series, but in my opinion this was the pinnacle of its 2D form. It was the first Zelda game I ever played and it was the game that made me fall head over heels for that iconic green tunic clad fellow and his grand adventures.

If I was to choose one game in the Zelda series that influenced me the most as a gamer though, it would have to be The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. And yes, I am aware of the abominations that were released on the CDi! I just choose to disavow them. I honestly can’t think of a bad game in the franchise. But they also offer depth and complexity that makes exploring their worlds and solving their puzzles exhilarating and fun. They offer something familiar and comforting with their colorful graphics and goofy characters. Since I was a kid, there has always been a sense of wonder and excitement when I played a new Zelda game. It also redefines itself with each new release and innovates on the gameplay mechanics and world building we’ve all grown to love. Not only can the series boast that it solidified and popularized a genre that many have tried to iterate upon. There are few game franchises that have stood the test of time quite like The Legend of Zelda. Is A Link Between Worlds a welcome blast from the past or just a link to childhood nostalgia in handheld form?!
