     The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has been re-made for Gameboy Advance.  The game is a perfect port of the Super NES classic that was originally released in 1991, except for a couple minor changes.  For those of you who haven't played it, A Link to the Past is right up there with Ocarina of Time as one of the best games in the series, so this game is definitely worth buying. 

     In addition to the perfect port of A Link to the Past, the remake also features a 4-player cooperative mode, called Four Swords.  In the multiplayer mode, players will cooperate to finish dungeons together, but also compete against each other at the same time.  Some puzzles will require cooperation, such as large blocks which require the strength of four players just to be moved.  Even though they are cooperating to complete the dungeons together, players will see an element of competition in the multiplayer mode.  Players will be competing to see who gets the most rupees in each dungeon.  Whoever finishes the dungeon with the most rupees wins.

     Even though the game is a direct port of Link to the past, it is worth buying.  A Link to the Past is among the greatest games of all time, and the multiplayer mode brings a new and fun element to the game that is worth trying.  Expect this game to be yet another classic for GBA!
