it's certainly not invalid....however, I do suggest you romulate some of the other ones mentioned

Anyway, I also voted for Link's Awakening. I spent countless hours beating that game. I beat it two or three times, in the DX version they had this color armor you could get....

It was an awesome game.

I'll save this for another thread/another day, but to summarize:

Game Boy Zelda RAISED THE STANDARDS of what you expected from handheld gaming. Link's Awakening featured a HUGE WORLD, it features tons of CAVES and SECRET AREAS, it featured 8 temples, plus the boss temple thing. It had tons of items..characters. It was epic. Ages and Seasons continued the epicness.

Also, the dungeons in the handheld games were challenging and tons of fun.

Link's Awakening is perhaps my favorite 2D zelda game, definitely in a close toss up with A Link To The Past.

Haha. If you feel like investing time, the 2D Zelda games represent the height of 2D gaming in my opinion. As Dyne stated, Seasons/Ages was an AWESOME combo. The Gameboy/GBC had a great output of Zelda....

Ages
Seasons
Link's Awakening

Wow. I think people (especially of recent) forget that Zelda has an amazing 2D presence.
