As I had my feet propped up on a chair across from me and my bottom sunk into a La-Z-Boy, I held a Legend that had been brought back from the past in my very own hands. It didn’t take very long until I realized that I really was playing “A Link to the Past.” With the back-lit screen flipped up and all curtains closed, I dove into an era that once had the world captured by Super Nintendo in 1992.

“The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past” made its debut in early December 2002 on the new Game Boy Advance SP.The difference? None, if you’re concerned about the storyline. However, with enhanced life-like graphics, you’ll find yourself addicted all over again.

You’ll notice small, yet impacting differences such as the voiceovers throughout the entire game. Sound effects are different and…I guess I’d just have to say; fun! Rather than hearing Link’s typical “swoosh” of the sword, you’ll be hearing his famous “Ocarina” voice (“Hiee, Hee, Haiya”), which can always be very entertaining.

If you’re looking for something to carry around with you in your pocket to pass the time away, this game is a great gem. Not only is it “just a role playing game” – you’ll be intrigued all over again with its adventurous storyline and puzzle- solving physique.
