One of the best Zelda games

I have up to the second part (The Adventures of Link) really any part of the Zelda series so far played and I can come out safely as huge Zeldafan here and give therefore anticipate even just my favorite "A Link to the Past" and "Ocarina of Time "for the best, so here of possibly a better idea gets one or the other to my review.

I have the game though with a 3DS XL "A Link Between Worlds" already in the composite - Bundle since release, but now I again bought the game because I now own a new 3DS XL "Majora's Mask" edition and by me by data transfer, although the game was transferred to my new 3DS, but I have now now what used to my old 3DS, my friend, the game is no longer on it and as we both love to play the game, we hereby now 2 times. .. ^^
That alone should have here my enthusiasm can be the best but I founded here still got my 5 stars a little more detail:

For the actual product:

The Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds comes in a normal 3DS game packaging, the cover is interchangeable with a green background.
Who here thinks Nintendo would (only from here aLttP) reissued the SNES classic "A Link to the Past", you are wrong here. Although the game uses very strong at the world from aLttP, so the temples are in principle exactly in the same places, Kakariko, one's own house, the castle, cemetery, etc ... everything is in the same place and most enemies are identical, but the story is completely different.
Yuga, an evil magician from another dimension, has set itself the task of all 7 ways captured in paintings to take in order to break the seal in order to free Ganon. Link is thrown in a nice introduction directly into the conflict and - to put it roughly, and not wanting to tell the story now complete - just have to prevent this. In contrast to direct "predecessor" aLttP here the story is told beautifully in small cutscenes, the 3D effect is beautiful to bear, so really a game where it pays to keep on the 3D effect of the 3DS!

The gameplay itself is compared to the SNES game much faster especially the movements of the link. Everything runs very smoothly and I experienced no stuttering or other interruptions so far. There are many things that you already know from old games, but there were also added a lot of new things, such as the 3D / 2D switch to run along walls. This gameplay fits perfectly in the game and keeps ready some puzzles. Also newly arrived that we now can not find items like the Hammer, boomerang, bow, etc. in dungeons, but we here at a dealer they can borrow, even later can even buy against a lush amount. I thought that was really great implemented, although here some Zelda fans would not agree with me there. There were to be found in dungeons optional enhancements of armor and weapons that were as I said not absolutely necessary to complete the game, but facilitate the struggle with the opponents a lot, so it is very worthwhile, this time the big chests in the Dungeons chase.
Many puzzles are known for Zelda connoisseurs, but some new things also, came mainly through the walk along the walls came here added some very nice features. There is also enough to collect (100 small May-May's, which can be very useful because you can upgrade weapons), there are again a few nice minigames and the world looks very much alive. In addition an optional StreetPass connectivity, when you can fight against other links and can to earn as medals and rubies. If you have successfully completed the game, so you now have the opportunity to play in the heroic mode the game. Here the opponents put a lot more and we suffer much more damage, what the whole - makes fairly simple game again quite interesting corner - for advanced players. Everything is said to play itself really, but I would like to again commend the really great story behind it without spoiling something to. The characters are really presentable, you get as a fan of the series really something going on and who else knows the 2D classics anyway from his childhood days, you will love this game to a very high probability!

And what is one of Zelda yet so it? Right! The right music. Zelda is Zelda without the beautiful sounds and here flaring Nintendo a masterpiece for a hand from hero !. Many well-known classics from aLttP are here presented magnificently in orchestra metallic sounds, the new titles are absolutely correct and match the scenery and the latest here I can play hand over his full 5 stars!

Old Zelda fans here probably anyway not get around as well as newcomers will get an absolutely great game, which already belongs to one of my favorite Zelda's. Just buy it, who it has not yet or even right now for people who have perhaps only now acquired a 3DS for the first time by the new 3DS.
