FUN: By far the best sequel Nintendo has ever made. Some of there other sequel (like Super Mario Galaxy 2... another rating for a later date... maybe) doesn't come close to comparison to this game. The controls, the story, & the gameplay all are fantastic. FUN - 2.
REPLAY: Even though it's a Zelda game and Zelda games tend to not have any replay value. Well... this sort of does. Sure it only has Hero Mode after you beat the game, however... the game is so great players are going to be playing it over and over trying to do 100% Speed Runs just like A Link To The Past. REPLAY - 1.
STORY: Just like A Link To The Past, someone has been capturing the sages in order to revive Ganon. However, since it is the sequel, it the sages' kids. Yep... the descendants of the sages. The descendant of the lost hero, Link must do thing same thing his past self did years ago to save Hyrule and Princess Zelda. STORY - 1.5.
DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: Well... the Original part can mostly go out the window here. It's more the Difference here that counts. It takes place in the same world map as the Light World in A Link To The Past (see... no Original here). Almost every dungeon is the same. Placement and everything except for a few minor details that only players who watch or played A Link To The Past can catch. The Difference is the instead of you gaining ALL you weapons and gear from the dungeons, you get them from a mysterious bunny guy named Ravio. However, the catch is that you RENT them. If you die, all RENTED items go back to him. Sure... after a while you can buy them off him to KEEP, but for a whole lot of Rupees (This game is very Rupee based... just like Skyward Sword... later date... again). Another Difference is of course, the Sages or Sages' Descendants. It's their kids. The next Difference is the Opposite World. In A Link To The Past... it was the Dark World (Light and Dark... creative...), but for this game it's a world called Lorule, a counterpart of Hyrule. Everyone in Hyrule has a complete Opposite way of think and most of them are quite rude in Lorule. However, some of them do keep a few things the same as their Hyrule counterpart (like the Blacksmith still love his work and swords). Of course... Princess Zelda has a counterpart named Princess Hilda. The Last difference is the way you go between Hyrule and Lorule. It's not the Magic Mirror in A Link To The Past, it actually you new skill... making yourself into a moving painting and going through tight crevices. DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL - 1.5.
DIFFICULTY: Nice Balance... not much to say about it. It a Zelda game. DIFFICULTY - 2.
TOTAL - 8.
There you have it. LoZ: A Link Between Worlds in a nutshell. Until next time, this has been Benjamin P. Parker aka the Nintendo Rater.
