I just beat it. Pretty fun game and I felt like I was playing LttP at times. I haven't played any titles from gamecube forward until this one. I enjoyed the game. Not sure I'll replay, but I'll finish some of the side quests.

Beat it a few days ago. I've beaten LTTP, but I didn't grow up with it or even play it til about 2 years ago, so there's no nostalgia for me. That belongs to the N64 games and maybe Links Awakening.
I hear people say how great LTTP is, and I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't think it was as great as it was billed to be. Fun, no doubt, but for a game that specifically trims the fat and provides nearly all of the experience inside dungeons, I felt like the dungeons should have been better. I'm sure they were top notch when they came out, but they have been surpassed, which is why nostalgia weighs so heavily on people's opinion of that game I think.
Link Between Worlds, to me, feels like what people claim LTTP is. Almost always in a dungeon, very open exploration, little story to get in the way of the action, etc. The overworld is identical, and the idea of LBW obviously is a tribute to LTTP. But other than that, this game stands on its own. Puzzles are more creative than ever and the dungeon design here may be the best in the series.
Bottom line: it's my favorite "top down" (since you can't really call it 2D) Zelda by far. I'm partial to the 3D entries, with the exception of Twilight Princess, but this is definitely one you don't want to miss.

A link between worlds was a great zelda game. It wasn't too easy, it wasn't too hard, I would say it was the most relaxed zelda experience I've had and that isn't a bad thing.
It was nice to take a break from zelda games that have ridiculous mindbreaking puzzles sometimes.
The boss design in this game was excellent and I felt like the game made great use of the 3D technology, better than any game I have seen on 3DS yet.
The dungeons are also nonlinear in that you can do them in any order which was also a cool change.
It's a fast paced zelda that I will replay on hero mode.

Best thing to do is get a wii u with wind waker on it, then play old titles through it
That's my plan if I ever get a regular job

Unless they released recently

New Zelda is great. I beat it the other day. You should also check out Mario 3d land and fire emblem.

Yep. This game is great as well

Soooooo awesome. I did the hard dungeons first. Maybe I've played zelda too long but it's not difficult at all but I've never had so much trouble putting a game down though

What are your thoughts on the maimais?

Collect everyone...
I'm at 96 right now, 4 away from my Great Spin. After that I will be 100% for this game in Normal.
EDT: I haven't played in a month though, need to go back and finish.

I thought it was solid extra content and another incentive to explore
This was my favorite hyrule to explore. When I first got to lorule, the enemies were brutal but it made exploring so much fun
Just beat it, #3 behind the 64 titles. It was that fricking good

Not completely true. You just need to use Wii Mode.
They haven't been loaded into the Wii U VC yet but that does not mean you can not play them on the Wii U.
With the Wii U you also have access to all of the original Wii VC games and LTTP and OoT are both on that.
Just swicth to Wii mode and go to the store there. Buy there and play. You will need a pro or classic controller though as the gamepad is not optimized for the those games.
With that said I am sure they will release them eventually on the wii u store also.
This seems to be unknown to a lot of people but you can do anything on the Wii U that you could on the Wii. Tons more old games available in wii mode. So just play there until they slowly build the Wii U VC library.
