Zelda Informer Versus: Best Dungeon Tournament – Round 0 – A Link Between Worlds
Posted on October 12 2017 by Rod Lloyd
Things get nostalgic with the next game in our tournament. Skyward Sword‘s battles rage on as Ancient Cistern currently leads the poll, but we’re approaching a more retro-feeling Zelda title today. A Link Between Worlds is in many ways a love letter to A Link to the Past and Zelda games of old, but in the same breath, its also a stepping stone toward the freer direction the series has decided to take.
What is the Best Dungeon in A Link Between Worlds?
A Link Between Worlds may have used its connections to the SNES era to appeal to old school fans, but it’s also one of the freshest Zelda experiences we’ve had in a long time. So many Zelda traditions were thrown out the window. Most items were no longer found in dungeons, but rather rented from a shop. And most dungeons did not need to be completed in a certain order; players were free to complete them in any sequence they wanted.
Now, this approach to level progression had both positive and negative effects. Some fans have argued that dungeons in A Link Between Worlds were less complex because each one had to be designed such that it wouldn’t rely on the completion of others. But despite that gripe, I would say that there were some really memorable experiences in the game’s dungeons as well.
So, it’s time to decide the best dungeon in A Link Between Worlds.
