The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Making a sequel to one of the most famous games of all time is a risky move, but A Link Between Worlds is undoubtedly the finest 2D Zelda game ever produced. While the plot takes place in the familiar Hyrule (Light World) and Lorule (Dark World) of A Link to the Past, Link's current journey is far but a carbon copy, and effectively flips many of the conventional Zelda clichés. The option to rent series mainstays like the bow, boomerangs, and explosives from the delightful new character, Ravio, restores the original Zelda's true open-world vibe.

You may now freely roam the gorgeously detailed, stereoscopic 3D environment, hunting down dungeons in whatever sequence you choose, collecting heart pieces, and spinning assault spear-wielding Moblins. A Link Between Worlds is all killer, no filler; a game that lives up to its illustrious pedigree while forging its own path.
