Very Cool! This thing is tiny and very cute! It comes in a cool plastic sheathe that houses a cardboard background and a separate mini replica Famicom game box. It will work on any GBA system from any region. The best thing is that the cartridge is not the usual GBA grey but two tone crimson and white like the old Famicom system. At this price it's a must buy for any Zelda or Nintendo fan!

Excellent This is awesome. You start up the game and the usual Game Boy Advance screen comes up and then there you have it- the classic title screen of The Legend of Zelda. I was happy to know that the important things are in English (like the story, save, menu etc.) but the old woman's hints are not... I just need to practice Japanese. I was actually surprised at the size of the package, it fits in your palm. I thought the game box was the same as the original. Either way, the details are great and the cartridge slips right out of the game box, which is very cool. Included are booklets with hints and enemy and item descriptions, printed in green. This classic is definitely worth $10, buy it now for lots of fun.

Groundbreaking & still fantastic What made this game special is how groundbreaking it was, and how it set the standard for years to come. A non-linear game that gave you free roam over a such a vast and expansive world was new territory for developers. And while other games have surpassed what this game's engine could do by leaps and bounds, it's still popular because of its nostalgia.
Furthermore, this game introduced many characters of the Zelda franchise you see in today's releases which are played by gamers who have perhaps never seen the original.

awesome! Just ordered it a week ago and got it today (in the US). $10 for it was great and now it's even less!
Hint: press Start to go to the Inventory screen, then press Select and Up to bring up the Continue/Save/Retry screen (which is in English).

Finally! It's about time! Why didn't nintendo do this sooner? I've waited YEARS for this thing to go portable. This game is timeless. Think about it solid gameplay, good tunes (for 8-bit), and a solid challenge (Two games in one. Beat it or for a second quest with rearranged dungeons and tougher enimes). How can you go wrong?
