Silicon Fusion
A Link to the Past was one of the best games released on the SNES and with a re-release on the GBA one might just accuse Nintendo of trying to take advantage of consumers. Lets face it, GBA games are not cheap and unless you still have your SNES

In 1987, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda, one of its ground-breaking games for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. With The Legend of Zelda came another solid series from Nintendo, which included the hit title The Legend of Zelda: A Link to

An indispensable game, combining arguably the finest RPG/adventure the 16-bit era ever produced (even compared to the likes of Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI) with an expertly realised multiplayer rendition of Zelda.

Back in the day there was a little system called the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Things were quite different back then, systems came packaged with games (yes, free games!), two controllers (what?!) and a whole lot of excitement. In the heyday of

It doesn't matter if you've played this game a hundred times before; it doesn't matter if you hate those old, crappy 16-bit games that use something called "pixels" for graphics; it doesn't matter...in general. Feel free to insert your own excuse, but the

The first go round is relatively easy, with each level taking four to six minutes to complete. As you reach harder levels, the puzzles require more ingenuity and range from nine to 12 minutes each. Best of all, each level is randomly generated so

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is simply one of the greatest games of all time. I can say this conclusive statement in the introduction, because you already knew that. For a lot of people there has been no greater Zelda adventure, 2D or 3D. A

This new type of multiplayer is worth the purchase of the game itself but the only down fall is trying to find another player (or three) that owns a copy of the game.

Let there be no confusion: this handheld port of the 11-year-old SNES classic is still one of the finest adventure games ever. This pixel-perfect port will win your heart all over again with its massive quest of frequent genius.
But it's newcomers who

The Game Boy Advance is an obvious choice for companies to port SNES favorites to, and Nintendo has realized that. Zelda: A Link to the Past is a prime example of what the SNES offered and Nintendo attempts to bring the game to a new audience. Often

To the untrained eye, the Link To The Past cartridge may well appear to be nothing more than another videogame for kids and others who refuse to grow out of childhood. However, it is much more than that, being as worthy a narrative as many popular books

Although the Game Boy Advance version of A Link to the Past remains largely untouched, Nintendo and Capcom (who also worked with the Zelda franchise on the Oracle Game Boy Color games) decided to include a whole new adventure named The Four Swords.

The gameplay is very tried and true to the series. We start off as a young warrior wishing to save the princess with nothing but our wits and the initial ability to chuck bushes. You go into dungeons trying to not only defeat the boss monster inside

On the whole, I enjoy adventure games which don't over emphasise their role playing qualities. Zelda doesn't even masquerade as a RPG, it's just pure adventuring. My sort of game. That's what I thought anyway. Why all this negativity towards such a
