Adventure of Link Review
Written by Ben
First Impressions: 5/5
Yay! Another Zelda game! Gotta go buy it! It's gonna be great!
Gameplay: 4/10
This is the most difficult part of the rating systems. Well, what can I say? All you did was run around and swing a sword! Unless you were in a town, and then you could talk to people and get hints, but it was basically the WORST Zelda game I've played so far.
Graphics: today, .25/5; then, 2.5/5
As usual, I will stick with then's rating. It was worst than the first! I can't believe it! The game kept switching views, and that drove me nuts. I didn't like the graphics in this game.
Story: 18/20
Pretty good story, I have to admit. Impa tells Link that Zelda was put under a sleeping spell and won't wake up until 6 crystals that were stolen are put back in their original place. Since it was the second story and Nintendo didn't have those new big brains yet, it was an all right story.
Challenge: 5/5
I, personally, have not beaten this game yet. But I went and got the Legend of Zelda collection for Gamecube, so I am trying to beat it. I quit when it first came out because I couldn't get anywhere. Man!
Interaction: 15/15
I get to go and visit a town?! Awesome! I love it! Except, I don't like the guys that just say "Hello!" or "Sorry. I know nothing." I also didn't like the guy in Parapa (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) saying "I am Error." But you got magic from the maidens!
Side-Quests: 2.5/5
I think getting magic from girls in a big house in a town was a side-quest, and getting the hammer and candle were side-quests. I can't remember any more, though. If you got a side-quest from this game, let me know!
Continuity: 2.5/5
Again, as in the first Zelda, it doesn't really explain any of the other games. Heck, when the story first popped up, and it said "Impa", I'm thinking, "Who the heck is Impa?"
Music: 9/10
Pretty good music; a remix of the original in the field, but an awesome theme in the dungeons! Cool!
Overall Feel/Originality: 15/20
Originality is awesome, but the overall feel wasn't Zelda to me. It was Link. Not Zelda. That was just it. It wasn't Zelda.
TOTAL: 78.5/100; a C+
It's so-so.
Buy It?
No.
