Number 2

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

My Playtime - 16 hours

For those whom have seen me around the forum, this entry should be no surprise. The Legend of Zelda Series is my go to series, and with a few exceptions I have played all entries in the franchise. Needless to say that this Day one Purchase for me. There is actually a funny story surrounding that…

While I love the series, I am a big fan of the top down view iterations of the series (Links awakening, Oracle Games, Link to the Past) so the introduction of a sequel to a link to the past was waited with the highest of hype. Oh man this game delivered.

The main change added to this entry is the ability to buy weapons from a trader early in the game. Traditional Zelda have given you an item to help you solve puzzles within the dungeon, however the ability to have these items before entering the dungeon is a vast change from tradition. What this means is that there can now be various solutions to puzzles as opposed to one. Another addition to this series is the introduction of "Painting link" After a few story events Link is transformed into a painting, and can travel across walls and through cracks. This allows for new puzzles to be invented and that previously were unthinkable in previous iterations.

Another brilliant addition to this installment is its non linearity. When hall the items are available to you from an early stage, dungeons can be tackled earlier than intended (eg previous instalments would require you to have the hookshot from a previous dungeon before advancing to this one). This game this time assumes you have access to all the weapons from an early stage and as such can be accessed whenever you feel. This non linearity allows for a lot more freedom in gameplay by suggesting "I want to do the fire temple first" and being able to do so is refreshing.

The main issue with a link between worlds is it is very short. I purchased the game on the Saturday , and it was finished by Tuesday clocking in 14 hours for 100% completion. This however worked in it's favour as it made me crave for more immediately after finishing. I had to slap my hand and say "No" as Bravely Default was out the following week.

This leaves number 1 on the list. Any guesses to what it could be?
