ONE OF THE BEST!
The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past was a fantastic game on the SNES and you know something, its just as good on GameBoy! I am so glad they have released this game on the little cart because now you can take this great adventure with you anywhere. I first got the game when the GBA SP was released and I was hooked! I was in London at the time but on the way back home to Newcastle on the train, I played this game none stop! The graphics are superb, the gameplay is smooth and there are loads of things to do, like finding certain clues out, meeting people, there are loads of weapons to use, different enemies and boss's to defeat, secrets to disscover and loads of areas in the game to explore!

The bit I like is going back and forth from the dark side back to the light side! Fantastic! This was always classed as one of the best Zelda titles, and all I can say it is very good and you people out there thinking of buying it should because theres hours of excitement and fun just waiting to be opened!
I havn't played the four swords on it, but it is suppose to be quite good, but down side is you need four people to have a cart of their own, but like I say, this game is fantastic!

Perfect
This was my first Zelda, and I was worried it was just another average but overhyped game. After playing it I can honestly say this game's hype is well-deserved.

The main thing that makes this game brilliant is the amount of thought put into it. It doesn't ever really on cheap tactics like random battles, boring dungeons, or obligatory 'twists'. Instead, progression through the game is genuinely involving, with you getting stronger by acquiring items that actually change the way you can play. It also rewards exploration in the way no other game does, around every corner there is a great surprise, and it sucks you into a totally different experience from other games.

Another thing that is beautiful about this game is the atmosphere, despite the fact it is so old, the music is some of the best I've ever heard in a game, the graphics are always simple but also extremely effective, and the ideas implemented in ever sequence of playing make it very enjoyable and rewarding throughout.

There are no flaws in this game, and I can happily recommend it to anyone.

An excellent conversion
After having a long time on the SNES, Link to the Past has been ported to GBA, and what a wicked port.

Nintendo seem intent on constantly putting rehashes onto GBA. However this is a superb rehash that deserves to be on the GBA.

The Link to the Past story is excellent, and the graphics - while probably not pushing the GBS- are excellent and have a superb cartoony detail.

Link grunting at every swipe (A new addition) sound has been ported straight from Ocarina Of Time on the N64 and does get rather annoying, but the other sounds ported from OoT are a welcome addition.

I have been unable to play Four Swords because I do not know anyone else with the game. However I have heard that it is a superb extra, and is quite a large battle, so if you know other people with the game, then definately go for this.
