I’m planning on playing through the Zelda series...

I’m planning on playing through the Zelda series, playing many games for the first time and am trying to play as many on my 3ds as possible.
Is this version of a Link to the past pretty close to the original version? Or would I be better off playing the snes version?
Also which version of four swords should I play? The one attached to this game? The anniversary addition for the 3ds? The GameCube?

The gameplay is intact but the sound effects are awful. And like all GBA ports, the colors are washed out. It's not the definitive version by any means but there's nothing that wrong with it per se.

As for Four Swords, the original is impossible to play single player. The 3DS version is a port with added single player. The GameCube one (Four Swords Adventures) is an entirely different game

So if I was just playing so I could play through story mode on each game it would do the job just fine?

>And like all GBA ports, the colors are washed out
A Link to the Past isn't as bad as the Super Mario Advance games for example, since it allows you to adjust the brightness a bit lower.
But yeah, SNES is the definite version.

Sure. GBA version has updated script to acknowledge OoT (mainly Ganon's backstory), but the differences are minor compared to SNES, so it's no big deal.

I also wouldn't worry about 4 swords story.

Go to temple, beat boss, get keys, defeat final boss with all keys. Rinse and repeat on harder difficulties.

>The 3DS version is a port with added single player.
It's also unavailable unless you mode your 3DS.

Cheers fellas

Hope you enjoy playing the SNES version.

Really? I don't think there are any difference except for the sound and the adaptation done gameplay to accommodate 2 buttons instead of 4.

Note worthy, the Super NES version is avialble on the New 3DS eshop, so there is that option.

The GBA link to the past, on the other hand, isn't.

>Also which version of four swords should I play? The one attached to this game? The anniversary addition for the 3ds? The GameCube?
The Gamecube game is a completely different game. It's better to play it with 3 other friends, but you also need a gamecube and 4 GBA and 4 GBA/GC Link cables.

What's the best way to play the Oracle games? One after the other on an emulator or convince a friend of mine to play the other simultaneously?

Oracles are single player games. But playing one after the other allow some interaction with each others.

You don't need a friend to play them.

Why Nintendo didn't just make it permanently available to everyone continues to bewilder me to this day.

What I'd like is for it to have an online option.

They want the Ambassador kids to feel special.

I missed the first ambassdor, But I still managed to get all those free GBA games.

they added the awfulvoice acting treatment they gave to super mario world gba to
tldr HIIYAAAAA

I actually liked those sounds.

But Link is supposed to be a teen already in ALttP.
They could've at least used the adult Link voices.

>ALttP
15, or something. The voice still fit.

adult link in OoT is 17.

>looks like this
>sounds like an anime girl
>The voice still fit.
Just no.

It does.

And it doesn't even sound like a girl.

I never know what is the best order to play the Oracle series.

I prefer going Ages -> Seasons so I can have Roc's Cape for the Ganon fight and the pirate Captain gets to meet his waifu.
But apparently Seasons -> Ages is the canon order.

>Roc's Cape for the Ganon fight
Don't you ahve all the item at the end, anyway?
>But apparently Seasons -> Ages is the canon order.
Source?

Does the 3DS simulate the linked games for the Oracle series, so you can interconnected the special link game events?

But that means the black tower remain locked to you.

Waht's the best sidequest in the Oracle games?
