I'm a 19 year old girl,and for christmas last year, I asked for a gameboy advanced...sad? yes, but i HAD to try out this zelda!! i'm a massive zelda fan and I have been since I was 5. Anyway, I wasn't disapointed with this game! it is very hard at times, and to be honest yes i did have to look up a walkthrough to do certain bit's ! I spent about two weeks to complete it which I thought was a shame as it could of done with being a little bit longer! but hey, it was very fun while it lasted! its very addictive, very entertaining , very hard , yet very short , so i gave it an overall rating of 4! But please dont let that put you of! i URGE all zelda fans to give this game a go!

I never turn down a chance to play a zelda game. This is the best handheld zelda ever. A unique game, with clever puzzles, lots to see, do and collect. There are many mysteries to unravel, and the new items are top notch. Not as good as any of the 3d zeldas but hey, every GBA owner should own this.
Smaller scale, still big fun!!!!!! August 1, 2006

I'm a big fan of all the zelda titles, and this is just one more to get your teeth into.
True, its on a smaller scale but all the good stuff is still here, puzzle solving, side quests, finding and collecting items to progress you through the game, and of course, fighting the big bad and rescuing the pretty princess ( aswell as the rest of the world )If you have never played zelda or other RPG's before, be warned, there is plenty to frustrate, confuse and down-right annoy you, but if this is your cup of tea, then crack on, its well worth it!!!!!
The game play is reponsive and the graphics clear and very cute, the only thing to worry about is putting the game down for five minutes to eat and sleep, 10 out of 10, no doubt!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the few games I've bought without reading any reviews first and I was actually pleasantly surprised with it.
We got this Zelda before US, so I hadn't seen much of it.
The game is instantly familiar to Zelda fans- the controls and gameplay are very similar to A Link to the Past etc, with a few extras in there too.
The game has probably among the best graphics I've seen on GBA, they are smooth and very personalised, the sound quality is excellent too- I was playing on a GB Player and the music sounded like an N64 game! The graphics still looked very nice on the big screen too, my sister played on the GBA SP and that seemed very good too.
The story is hardly great, but the gameplay makes up for it. The locations and the dungeons are all varied and the bosses are still inventive. The dungeons are even all fun to play! Even the ice one!
There are a few new items to get here which I won't spoil, but it was nice to see.
The feature with this game is the ability to shrink, this is used in lots of puzzles and is quite a clever thing, it's nice to see little holes that you can get into etc. I prefer other Zelda games' "feature's" though eg.
The problem with this game is that despite being fun the game is quite easy... there are some moments that will have you wondering about a puzzle, but no level is really that hard.
It is constantly fun, and the easiness isn't really a problem except that you come to the end quicker than you want to- it does have some things that will divert you from the main path, but not to the extent of OoT.
I am disappointed that 4 Swords wasn't shoved onto this game so that people could link up with alttp owners to play multiplayer too.
If you want a Zelda, this is highly recommended. A Link to the Past is harder, longer, and has lots more secrets, as well as just being a bit more "mature" looking.(And 4 Swords mulitplayer)
This one is great fun, has nice graphics and sound, and is [also] very clever, but I personally would recommend ALttP over it.
There is always 4 Swords on GameCube which I can also highly recommend if you want a multiplayer Zelda.
