Link's Awakening

[kainemaxwell]

So I started playing this last night, or the other night and I'm hooked. I haven't played a Zelda game in a few months since I beat Ocarina of Time. Good to play an old-school Zelda title again. Just finished level 5, lost as heck in level 6 though. Got the L-2 sword early, 4 more heart containers and finished the trading game early too.

Great, great Zelda game. I hope that you're playing the DX version!

[kainemaxwell]

But of course! Yes, went through the DX Dungeon- Red before anyone asks. ^^

Link's Awakening is actually my favorite 2D Zelda. More than the original or LttP or the Oracle games or Minish Cap. I really liked the dungeon design and items in Link's Awakening.

In what order should the games be played?

Any order you want. There's no continuity, except that Majora's Mask follows OoT. Fans keep trying to afix a really convoluted branching timeline that makes no sense, but really, they're just different games, meant to each be enjoyed on their own merits. Playing Link's Awakening won't spoil another game, and playing another game won't spoil Link's Awakening.

You may remember I asked the exact same thing in your Super Mario Land 2 thread...

Is this your first time playing Link's Awakening? If so, what took so long?

Actually no it's not. I had played it a couple times before via emulators and the actual title (pre-DX version). Just never finished it at the time, and this was a few years ago.

If/when I play the Oracle games, that will be my first time.

OMFG the Face Shrine is annoying...

My fav. of the handheld Zelda games. Yes, and that even includs The Ds Phantom Hourglass.
