The Adventure of Link Review
Overview: The Adventure of Link is considered by many to be the "black sheep" of the Zelda franchise, mainly due to the RPG and sidescrolling aspect of the game. On another note, AoL also had many things that were unique to the Zelda series, and aren't used these days. The game also introduced Magic into the series, which has been used a lot in most of the games. Gameplay: 9/10 Ah yes, gameplay. One of the many factors that makes a game great or horrible. The reception of The Adventure of Link's gameplay was good and bad. Fans hated it because of the sidescrolling and RPG elements, and others loved it because of those two things. Another thing that makes this game's gameplay so great, is the overworld. In The Adventure of Link, you traverse the world of Hyrule and encounter enemies RPG style, level up like an RPG, and enter towns like an RPG game does as well. Another great gameplay aspect is the battles. The battles are so different than any other Zelda game, which is what makes it so great. There are also gameplay aspects in this game that have returned, such as the hidden sword moves. Story: 7/10 Like The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link's story is fairly vague and told very little. The game kept the "save the princess" aspect that many games had back in the 80's, only The Adventure of Link's was more in depth. It consisted of Link gathering the 6 fragments of the Triforce of Power, and awakening Princess Zelda from her eternal slumber. Graphics: 8/10 The graphics for The Adventure of Link were quite superb for its time. It was really an upgraded The Legend of Zelda. Because it was a sidescroller most of the time, Nintendo was able to make the sprites and tilesets larger, thus putting more details into them. Link also looked very nice, as well as the various enemies and bosses. Sound: 7/10 The music and sound effects for the game weren't too good, but weren't too bad either. The overworld music was choppy at times, but the dungeon music was amazing. Fun/Replay Value: 9/10 The Adventure of Link is a great game to play over and over again. The world is so big in the game, and theres a lot of extra content. After you beat the game, it starts up a file similar to the Second Quest in The Legend of Zelda, only the game is exactly the same except you start off with your stats maxed out! Training can also be fun too, if you have a longer attention span. Overall Score: 8/10 Closing Comments: Although The Adventure of Link has been critisized for being so different from all the other Zelda games, it is still a great experience, and never gets boring because of how in depth it is, and its immense difficulty. |
