The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds shook things up in the shadow of a 16-bit classic

Best 3DS games - The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The Zelda series has had its share of direct sequels over the years. Majora's Mask takes place a couple of months after Ocarina Of Time while the DS titles Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks follow on the path set by Wind Waker, including its cartoon art style, meanwhile, of course, the newest entry, Tears Of The Kingdom, follows directly on from the events of Breath Of The Wild. 

However, while these are narrative continuations, they also take place in new settings. A Link Between Worlds, on the other hand, is a more curious case in that it is a direct sequel to the SNES classic A Link To The Past – in Japan, the 3DS game is called Triforce Of The Gods 2, Triforce Of The Gods being the Japanese title for A Link To The Past on Super Famicom – but also a spiritual successor.
