About this game

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is the sequel to 1991's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (while in the West the titles of the two games differ, the Japanese version adds but a «2»).

The player is in control of Link, who has to explore a world (or two) and overcome many dungeons to rescue Princess Zelda and free the world from the forces of evil.

Action is displayed from a top-down view.

Unlike in some of the previous Zelda installments, Link can venture into most dungeons in any order.

Traditional tight relation between each of the dungeons and one of Link's items — which the solution of the dungeon hinges upon — is maintained, but for the first time in the series, items aren't hidden in their corresponding dungeon.

Most of them are instead available at the shop of Ravio, a rabbit-like shopkeeper.

The hookshot, hammer, ice rod, and many other items are rentable or purchasable from there from the beginning of Link's adventure.

Rentals cost little but the item is lost if Link happens to die, while purchases cost more, yet grant permanent possession and the possibility to upgrade the item once.

An energy bar, which decreases when Links uses any depletable object and replenishes over time, replaces the series' ammunition system; this time Link does not carry bomb or arrow stocks with himself.

The game world, Hyrule, closely reprises that of A Link to the Past , including its two-sided structure.

However, this adventure is much less linear than most installments in the series, with a relatively open world providing many reachable areas from the early stages in addition to its nonlinear dungeon order.

Puzzles are encountered not only in dungeons, but also in the open world, a part of them revolving around the game's 3D visual effects.

Because of this, while A Link Between Worlds is playable on 2DS, solving some puzzles can get less intuitive.

Among his new abilities, Link has now the power to flatten himself: as a bidimensional being he can for instance

About Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds [Nintendo Selects], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
