The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 2013

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2013 Zelda for the Nintendo 3DS, set a few hundred years after A Link to the Past with a different Link, in a Hyrule largely the same as that game's. The sorcerer Yuga captures Princess Zelda and escapes to the parallel world of Lorule, and Link has to restore peace. His new move is merging onto walls as a 2D mural, which reaches new areas and crosses between the two worlds. The order is yours as well. Items such as the bow, fire rod and bombs are rented or bought from the merchant Ravio instead of being found in dungeons, so the dungeons can be tackled in almost any order. After the main adventure, Hero Mode multiplies damage taken by four. Deciding where to go next, with no long tutorials or cutscenes in the way, still makes it worth playing today.
