Background

One of the most popular snes games made was the perfect sequel to the somewhat disappointing 2nd Zelda game in the series. Returning to the top-down view that the original Zelda used very effectively, proved to be a winner with some of the best gameplay you'll ever experience. In 2002 a GBA port was released with the multiplayer expansion 'Four Swords'.

Story

Venture back to Hyrule and an age of magic and heroes. The predecessors of Link and Zelda face monsters on the march when a menacing magician takes over the kingdom. Only you can prevent his evil plot from shattering the land of Hyrule.

In your quest, you'll venture into twisting mazes, dungeons, palaces and shadow forests. Test your mettle with mighty swords and magical weapons. Or heft a boulder and hurl it at your enemies. If the going gets tough, dive into a river - you can swim to escape! Learn powerful spells, locate magical artifacts and solve the mysteries of the evil magician and the hidden realm of Hyrule.

The wonderful world of zelda in it's prime, as you make your way through this epic story. This game is an absolute classic that should have any player entranced for weeks on end.
