Super Famicom
RPG
Miyamato’s masterpiece deserves every superlative ever heaped on it, yet it remains as humble as lead character Link. A wonderful story that shines bright like one of the torches in the castle’s darkest, dank gaming dungeons. Miyamoto’s dream world turned into a gaming reality for all to behold. The finest RPG ever?

Miyamato’s masterpiece deserves every superlative ever heaped on it, yet it remains as humble as lead character Link. A wonderful story that shines bright like one of the torches in the castle’s darkest, dank gaming dungeons. Miyamoto’s dream world turned into a gaming reality for all to behold. The finest RPG ever? Looking superb on the GBA. And 4 Swords is also a pleasure, never a chore with great use of the GBA link when entering a confined area. Dazzling in four player mode.

Breath of the Wind baddie Bokoblin gets a very nice tribute for those who like a little devil in their plushes.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Link dons on his drivers gloves and takes control of a steam train to travel through the exquisite lands full of colour and the Eastern European graphics that work so well on the format. Plenty of battles await, as do Densha De Go style passenger drops where the track signals must be rigorously observed. A few monsters still lurk in dank dungeons and conquering them adds new abilities to Links growing repertoire. Known as Spirit Tracks in the West.

Fine tribute to the stalwart Link complete with sword and shield and very dapper Breath of the Wild tunic.
Nintendo 64
RPG
Chasing after chickens, playing musical instruments, leaping across chasms, horse riding, target shooting… Such an eagerly awaited link in the chain and amazingly able to live up to expectations and even exceed them. A lesson in game design from start to finish. Cinematic in its execution, always emotive.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Link continues with his revamped, Eastern European look, but thankfully gameplay remains true to the series deep roots and its a real joy to savour its sweet embrace.

A fitting way for the Zelda fan to store their pass card with this Hyrule themed shield motif holder.
Switch
RPG
The game is a work of art and equalled by the fabulous items that come with one of the most impressive limited editions since the Dreamcast, and that console knew a thing or two about lavish limited editions.
PC Engine CD ROM
Shoot Em Up
Two player option and spooky speech adds to the atmosphere of this side scrolling shmup from the crack unit of Telenet Japan.
Super Famicom
RPG
Charming RPG that allows players to traverse its many terrains in groups and has off-beat character designs. The graphical effects are impressive to convey the magic spells or even the flight of a dragon across its gaming world. The musical score is top notch too and overall the game very much has its own feel. Also known as Paladins Quest in the West.
Super Famicom
Platform
A rare cart in Japan with the unlikely hero looming large on the screen as he traverses through various platform locales: beach, graveyard and finally jungle to complete his quest with a hint of double entendre. Known as Odekake Lester or Lester the Unlikely in the West.
Playstation
Action
Deluxe Pack including accurate conversions of the classic light gun titles Lethal Enforcers and Lethal Enforcers II done justice to by the PSXs power. Perfectly playable even with just a joypad as the city and Western settings add much to the tension. The showdown in China Town is particularly memorable. Includes a few interesting options to play around with on the conversion including being able to switch the blood on or off.
PS2
Rhythm
Refreshingly original title playing most like a rhythm action titles except this time players take the role of an orchestral conductor to try and save the concert hall from closing down. As in a rhythm action title such as Samba De Amigo, the backgrounds shift according to player performance so the conductor soon knows if they are hitting the right notes. Rather than simple button presses though, the degree of pressure applied is the important factor in keeping the orchestra together. Bravo indeed. Known as Mad Maestro in the West.
