I have never played that game. I guess I need to give it some time. I've heard nothing but good things.

Same, it looks like a game I would enjoy, just never got around to starting it.

Abso-freaking-lutley! Easily in my top 10 NES games list. It has to be the #1 game to deserve a sequel but never received one.

A lot of people say it's a Legend of Zelda clone. I say it's better. Better graphics, better sound, more in-depth story, more areas, towns & dungeons to explore, and more NPCs to interact with.

Re-beat Blackwell Unbound and The Blackwell Convergence (PC) to get all the achievements I was missing. This puts me at 30 games with all achievements (technically 31, 'cause screw that Sanctum of Slime one that is impossible to do solo.)

Yep, twice in the same year. It's that good. But to be fair, I also played it differently. The first time I just played through to the ending. This time I took my time and completed all the side-quests and collected all the items.

Hell, I didn't even realize there was a Red Mail to be found until I saw a Street Pass challenger with it.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. It handles extremely well, and compared to other NES games, it's really a step up in music, gameplay, and visuals. It's almost hard to think that it's actually on the NES sometimes. It's so fluid.

Yeah it's definitely one of my favorites too. Not sure what happened to my copy from my youth, but about a month ago a local game store put up a Facebook photo of a lot of games they got and I saw this and immediately went to snatch it up.

Just beat Super Monkey's Ball Expert mode. The difficulty really jumps up and down on this one with quite a bit of levels taking me quite a while, even with infinite continues. I may try to practice these levels to improve my skill, but it's going to be super tough to get to expert extra and master, considering you can't continue in order to reach those levels.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?! The game is amongst the best Zelda titles.

But I'm too busy Smashing. I'll play Zelda & Link to make it up then.

How would you say it compares to A Link to the Past? Most of the recent Zelda games, particularly the DS entries, haven't interested me all that much. I'm on the fence on this one, not sure if I'll get around to buying it or not.

Same for me too the DS games dont look that interesting more so fillers.

I should be ashamed to have not finished any Zelda Games.  :-[

Almost as good as Link to the Past. The ONLY thing holding it back from being better, IMO, is the fact that you can't play it on nice big T.V. with a real controller. The 3DS does start to cramp your hand after long-play sessions. It definetly has better side-quests and a better presentation (given the more-modern hardware, that's not surprising), but with that same old fantastic Zelda gameplay you love.

The DS ones weren't nearly as good. Spirits Tracks was laughably bad. I can't believe that's actually considered a Zelda game. It should have been it's own little train game. And while I liked Phantom Hourglass, repeating the Temple over and over again really hurt that game.

Well, the DS Zelda games are definitely staying off of my wishlist, but I'll have to look at getting A Link Between Worlds eventually. Thanks for the help. :)
