Play MIDI-Zelda 4 Tal Tal MountainsUndeniably, one of the best games ever, and definetly the best Gameboy game ever created, with the possible exception of Pokémon, when The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was released in 1993, it took us all by suprise. In two ways. One, very little was said until about a month before it's August 1993 release. Two, it was amazingly good, following the Zelda tradition.My Ratings:Graphics: *** and 1/2 StarsThe artwork was certainly impressive on the tiny game boy!! Especially with the yellow screen. The textures were rich, details paid attention to. Excellent.Sound and Music: *** and 1/2 StarsThe sound effects are dead on, period. The Zelda music is dead on, and has lotsa goodies. The cave theme is a little repetitive, and the boss music is very crude, those being the only things preventing 4 stars.Humor: ** and 1/2 StarsThe first game to really implement jokes and humor into the series, it does a pretty darn good job for such a tiny package. Sometimes cheesy, but good.Storyline: **** StarsIt starts out... Link is crashed on the beach... nothing to do and nowhere to go... The storyline in this game slowly gets thicker as Link figures out where he is, how to get home, and grows a relationship with Marin. Every boss has mysterious last words... and the ending is so dramatic I bet you will start crying. Everything about the story is rich and grand.Gameplay: **** StarsFull of puzzles, dungeons, secrets, battle, peril, minigames. What more can I say? Outstanding.Overall: *** and 1/2 StarsThis game rules. Period :-)A groovy glitch: The second you hit the edge of the screen, hit select. When you lift the map, you will be at the other side of the screen you walked on!!! You can do some crazy things with this. Like on the screen left of Marin's home, do this going down, and all baddies will become Grandma Ulira!!! And do this on the fisherman's screen, going down, and if the fisherman is in the tree and you talk to him... well... weird stuff happens :-)Zelda IV in 56 ColorsThe differences between US and Japanese versions
