Very compelling review. A DS is first on my list for post-job buys.

honestgamer's The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds review
Thanks for reading! You could do a lot worse than a 3DS XL for your next hardware purchase (plus it plays DS games)...

Great review, Jason. It has certainly warmed me to the idea of getting a 3DS. A couple things, though. Is this game a sequel to LTTP? A reimagining? Also, you talk about third favorite Zelda games without saying what number one and two are.
I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!
It's a sequel to LttP, Masters, and is actually called The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2 in Japan. The Hyrule overworld is really quite similar, but there are enough differences to make for some very interesting play (and then the world of Lorule REALLY adds new wrinkles). As someone who spent a lot of time with LttP, I was surprised that the experience in some ways ADDS to the new one, rather than making it feel like a retread. My two favorite Zelda games are still the original two, for the NES. And number three is now this one, as noted. :-D
