In another revisit of a classic, Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda resurrects the pioneering adventure game on the Game Boy Advance. It's easy to see why this game was so popular in its era, some 17 years ago, and spawned a successful series that still thrives today. It's among the few titles in Nintendo's Classic NES Series that are still worth playing.
As before, players embark on a quest to find the Triforce, slay Ganon and save Princess Zelda. Along the way they explore dungeons, solve puzzles, fight scores of enemies, unlock hidden passages and caves and wield weapons such as swords, boomerangs, bombs and arrows. It's Link's very first adventure and it's an entertaining one.
The graphics are dated and not much to look at by today's standards. But if you've never played The Legend of Zelda, you can have fun with this one. And if you played it years ago, it can be fun to revisit an old friend.
