To Users of GC-GBA
This may be the mose expensive of the GC-GBA cables doing the rounds at the moment, but its by far the best. I too thought that I'd save a few pounds by buying a third-party made cable, but was frought with problems with them. My advice--Its only a few pounds more expensive, but well worth it---so buy it
Very Useful Little Gadget
I recently bought this link cable mainly so I could unlock the bonuses in Metroid Prime, such as the NES Metroid. I was very happy with it. I know also use it for Zelda. One reason why this will become such a handy device is for Pokemon, being able to connect your GBA game to the GC game will be essential. Only downside to the cable is the colour. It looks a bit stupid if you have a Black GC and GBA. But it's usefulness outweighs the colour problem.
A nice little addition
I mainly bought this item for Animal Crossing for the access to the new island. And, I have to say it's very useful for letting me access those extra features, and I'll probably use it in the future with more games that I buy.
This is a good idea from Nintendo allowing linking of the GameCube to the GBA because it allows a lot more things to be done.
For those of you out there that don't know how this connects to your GBA. (I didn't until I bought it) It plugs into your connection port. Where you would normally plug in a link cable.
Good stuff from Nintendo, it's just a shame they didn't make a black version to match my GameCube.
