Link to the past vs Links Awakening

[Savio]

What do you think is the better game?

[Destor]

LttP is the GOAT

[Savio]

Disagree, Links Awakening is the better game. More polished version of LTTP.

Better Story.
Better collectibles.

I feel like everything LTTP did good, LA did better.

[Destor]

LA is a cute attempt to make LttP for handle helds

[Savio]

LttP has better graphics but Graphics don't make games

[Locke]

Finding it hard to get into link's awakening (playing it on emulator on tv) because of the graphics... feel like I need to be playing it on gameboy

[Destor]

To me the light world/dark world mechanic is the quintessential gameplay mechanic. It is gaming to me.

[Locke]

Link to the Past might be the best Zelda game, w/r/t gameplay. Dungeon design reached a peak in that game I think, something that was never replicated in any (console) game after it

[Fignuts]

Dungeons, bosses, and light/dark mechanic all put LttP over LA for me. Awakening does have some fun ideas though.

Have toyed with the idea of buying a 3ds MANY times, so I can play Link Between Worlds.
