Advantages: Interchangeable with "Oracle Of Seasons", Great playability, Good for all ages

Disadvantages: Price (about £28), Not as good without "Seasons"

This game is a must-buy for any rpg fans, particularly those who enjoy Zelda games. Although this game is great on it's own, it's even better when combined with "Oracle Of Seasons" as you can interchange passwords, items and serets between the two. Also, the game will change depending on which one you complete first. The game has a good balance of mental puzzles and "hack-and-slay" though some bits can be tricky. I'd say it's easily the best game I've played on my Gameboy Advance yet. Adults and kids will both enjoy it, and it provides hours of play. As always, you are able to save your game easily, and it doesn't take long at all to familiarise yourself with the play controls and options.

The plot is the usual: Link (the hero - that's you!)must rescue the girl and save the world from a dismal fate. However, the game is in no way boring, even if the storyline isn't the most original. play takes place in both the past and present, and Link travels between the two using the magical "Harp of Ages". This allows you to reach and explore new areas.

My game cost about £26 from Amazon UK, but prices tend to be around £28. This is still good value for money.
