If you've ever played A Link to the Past on the SNES, this GBA version is basically that—but with a fun little bonus. The main game is still the same classic top-down Zelda adventure: you’re running around Hyrule, poking into dungeons, flipping switches, and getting wrecked by those knights who shoot swords at you until you figure out their pattern.

The real draw here is the Four Swords mode, which lets you and a friend (or three) play together. It’s chaotic in the best way—you’re all Links, tossing each other off cliffs, stealing each other’s rupees, and occasionally cooperating to solve puzzles. The single-player campaign holds up surprisingly well, but the multiplayer is where things get unpredictable. Just don’t expect anyone to share the loot fairly.

It’s a solid package, especially if you’ve got a buddy to mess around with. The music still slaps, too.
