Re: Game Boy Player Land (my blog)
As I hang my head in shame to say this guys: I have NEVER played ANY Zelda games on any GameBoy platform. 
That will change though. Are they all worth checking out or what would you recommend as MUST plays? Should I play certain ones first? HELP! I'm sure Noise will be the first to help me out here, after all this is his thread and specialty!

I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Though I didn't know the GB Player was your first GBA. Pretty interesting.

Re: Game Boy Player Land (my blog)
yeah I was huge into GB, but I actually skipped GBC initially altogether. Then I got a GBPlayer in 2007 for my Cube and got really into collecting GB/GBC/GBA carts because of that.

Re: Game Boy Player Land (my blog)
Thanks Noise! That helps me out alot actually, as usual you have come through my man! SInce I have played the orinigal NES versions of Zelda 1 & 2 and the SNES version of Link to the Past, I think I'm going to try for Link's Awakening & then maybe Link's Awakening DX. Then I may go for the GBA version of a Link to the Past after that. It depends though being that I may change my mind and want to try something else in the series. Let's see how long it takes me to get through Link's Awakening first.
