Link is one of those iconic characters in Nintendo history, and The Legend of Zelda is a game that both experienced and casual gamers know well. More lighthearted and calming than the original, this version is easy to play on a day when you just want to relax but don’t want to concentrate too much. The best way I can describe this game is “slow and steady.” In terms of price trends, this is the lowest ever!

“As a long time Zelda fan, I absolutely love being able to play this with my 7 year old,” one player wrote. “I also like that we get to play as Zelda instead of Link for the first time.”
