Edit: turns out these are all bootleg and I’m a moron. Only two Zelda games were officially released for GBA.

Just kicked off a return.

    The only Zeldas I haven’t played to completion are Zelda 1, 2, Minish Cap, and Phantom Hourglass, and Link Between Worlds. My favorites are Majora’s Mask, Breath of the Wild, and Twilight Princess.

    People that disliked the Switch titles prefer the intricate puzzle-based dungeons and a tighter story. In previous titles, the whole game is a linear puzzlebox. It really looks like the series is turning away from this, with even Echoes of Wisdom showcasing a sandbox approach.

    Personally, having played SO many Zelda titles that rigidly adhered to this, it’s good they’re mixing it up. There was a lot of ideas they had rehashed. And the indie space has rushed to fill the void, so Zelda enjoyers of all kinds are eating good.

      Oh man, highly recommend Link Between Worlds with a 3DS if you can get your hands on one! I know many people thought it was gimmicky, but it genuinely blew my mind how good the game looked in 3D. Probably tied with Samus Returns and RE:Revelations for some of my best gaming experiences on the 3DS.

        Man, I actually skipped it and Samus Returns, but I do have a 2DS. I can still buy those by putting money on my account through my Switch, right?

          The DS shop closed in March 2023, so unless you already bought those titles, you won’t be able download them. I would look into homebrewing your 2DS, it’s not that complex and the step by step instructions are very thorough.

          I mean you could also try to find 2nd hand sellers, but the prices of DS games have jumped a LOT in the past few years.
