The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds is basically a revival of a classic called The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past with its fair share of new content to make the game become more enhanced than the former title. The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds does a excellent job of being a example of what a remake should be. So let's go into further detail in this review!

Graphics:
The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds brilliantly uses its 3D gaming hardware with the 2D sprites to create a distinctive feel in the game. These graphics are utilized to create a nostalgic feel to the game perhaps purposefully in order to attract appeal for gamers that played The Legend of Zelda A Link Between the Past. Unfortunately the graphics are behind compared to other games within its generation and console. The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds is a 2D RPG that uses 3D sprites and landscapes in the game. Fortunately Hyrule and Lorule has never looked so great compared to other Zelda games in this genre which only made this game much more enjoyable to play.

Sound:
The Legend of Zelda A Link Between the Worlds soundtrack is mostly made up of songs contained in The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past. This game also features a voiceless Link once again to go along with a voiceless cast. Fortunately for The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds it relies heavily on The Link into the Past's soundtrack which is a undeniably great one.

Addictiveness:
This game was able to provide a whole new nostalgic experience that was without a doubt an amazing one. Knowing how great The Legend of a Zelda A Link to the Past was I was very eager to play this game and as a result what I got was a very rewarding experience. I was very obsessed with this game for weeks trying to complete the entire thing and when I finally completed it I wanted more. The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds does a excellent job keeping the person playing it hooked to the game.

Story:
The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds is just another save the Princess story however I didn't mind that because it was the gameplay that I enjoyed the most. Overall The Legend of Zelda a Link Between World's story is completely shadowed by the game's excellent gameplay and puzzles so it really isn't relevant. Overall this Zelda game would have a story similar to any other Zelda game which made it less memorable.

Depth:

On top of this game's bland story is a exciting adventure full of puzzles. With two worlds to explore and so many heart pieces to collect that alone is enough to keep you busy. Not only that but this game has many things to collect like master ore so you can upgrade your sword and never once did I regret going out of my way to check whether I missed something or simply couldn't get it due to not having the right items at the time. Additionally the game has a item swap shop that is available that have extremely useful items. Overall The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds introduces new content that keeps you busy.

Difficulty:

The difficulty was just right in the game because if you couldn't solve something you either don't have the necessary items or you missed something important. This game featured puzzles that kept you thinking but none were too hard or too easy to solve which made this game fun.

Here are the final results

Graphics: 8

Sound: 9

Addictiveness: 10

Story: 4

Depth: 10

Difficulty: 5

Overall The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds is the successor to The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past that may very well always be in the shadow of The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past. Additionally being a remake to a classic it won't become a classic itself for this generation because of a lackluster story. Fortunately there aren't many shortcomings because it had fantastic gameplay to go along with diverse difficulty. The new content in this game only made this game even more successful to go along with an addictive 2D RPG adventure with 3D sprites in the game.

To sum it up short I recommend this game for newcomers and Zelda fans wanting a nostalgic Zelda experience.

Thank you for reading my review and have a nice day!

Wow, this game is very popular! Anyway you wrote a decent review, with good details and abundant comparison with its predecessor, a Link to the Past. However you could have elaborated a little about comparing Link Between Worlds and other games from the console. Why is it lagging behind with graphics? What about music?

Also, consider leaving a line or two between paragraphs; it makes the reading easier.
