Zelda: Link to the Past question

Post by Betamax001 »

I just bought Link to the Past for my SNES that I bought recently. I had the Game Boy Advance version (but its MIA) and the guide, and I was curious about how different the two versions of the game are. I would like to use the guide that I have for the GBA version for the maps and stuff.

I believe that they are nearly identical. If I remember correctly, the ice palace was a little different though.

I haven't really messed with the GBA version, but if the wikipedia page is to be believed, it is mostly sound changes. I imagine the guide will be just fine. You know, if you want to rob yourself of figuring things out. :P

I really can't think of anything to say to that : /

All I do know is that I would probably gotten lost when I did play it a few years ago when it came out for GBA. That seems to happen with those kinda games, I get lost.

i always had a pretty easy time navigating in lttp, but i can definitely relate to that in the NES zelda. basically made the game unplayable for me.

I believe there are extra/different noises and sounds (like Link's grunts) in the GBA version.

Aww, I was poking fun. I prefer to figure out things for myself, but I also have a good sense of direction. If you want to use maps, that's your business. I did put a smiley on there. :mrgreen:

Yeah, LTTP isn't nearly as bad as the NES Zelda one.

You won't get lost as easy on the snes version because you'll be playing on a larger screen. :P
