The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is probably the best 2D Zelda game ever made, even better than remake of Link's Awakening from the Nintendo Switch.

The combat here is near perfect. The boss battles are incredible.

I always felt kind of lost in all 2D Zelda and I didn't know where to go. In A Link Between Worlds, I always knew what to do. That's incredible because you have two worlds to visit and you always have to change from one to other to get to some places.

The story is problably the best of the franchise. You don't give much for it until the last cutscene.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is the best Nintendo 3DS game that I ever played. If you have the chance, play it.

I played this on a whim as a family member had played it. It's a pretty mediocre experience all told, but it does have certain merits that I enjoyed. The expedient evolution is the most fun part, as it kind of keeps you playing. The weird plot is also surprisingly funny and enjoyable; it has this funny satirical tale on your typical knuckledragger discovery show, and the narrator made my partner chuckle while he was in the room.

It has a terrible gameplay loop. It's basically grinding constantly. The combat could definitely use a tune-up, as most battles get boring. Overall, I'm not sure I'll bother playing again.

Frankly at first I was weirded out since there's basically the deep of night everywhere like a fog of war and you're supposed to be sneaking but obviously you're gonna get jumped again and again. I think the knowledge of the level's enemy placement would be the best way to deal with this, or you can just yolo it and win regardless. There is something to master, but the only "feel good" thing about it is ranks. Apart from that, the combat is stiff but it works, although it's somewhat abusable and the music is really interesting; some really odd picks that end up being very cool.
