So I got a Link to The Past...

I just received Zelda: A Link to the Past as a gift. I'm wondering if I should keep it or trade it for Golden Sun. All the reviews I read say the best part of it is the Four Swords multiplayer game but I don't know anyone with a GBA to play with.

A Link to the Past is a great game. If you've never played it, you should do so.

One thing to note though is that it's nearly impossible to see anything on the screen when you're in the dark dungeons unless you've got an ideal light source or an afterburner. That really pissed me off and made my hands hurt holding the GBA at a funky angle the whole time.

Well, the new GBA with light is coming soon... besides the fact that it's a classic single player game, it has a great multiplayer GBA mode as well. And I think it'll link to Wind Waker, right?

You talked me into it. I'll open it this weekend. It will keep me busy on my flight.

I never did play this version of zelda. I bought a genesis instead of an snes back in the day.

Nah, Wind Waker uses the GBA Link but you don't need this game for it.

Also there is the Gamecube GC a player coming out in a couple months that will allow you to play GB games on the TV, so don't let the screen factor into your decision unless your unwilling to but this or the new GBA SP.

I haven't picked up LTTP simply because I still have the SNES copy and no one to play four swords with. It's one of the best games ever, so if you don't have the SNES version, keep the GBA version by all means.

I am in the same situation but that didn't stop me from having two copies
