I first played this when I was 7. Not surprisingly, I was terrible, not being able to beat it for several years. When I did, the final screen rolled to reveal... 236 deaths. Link was evidently almost 26 cats, but I still had a great time playing this game. Why? That probably had something to do with the great dungeon design. Every dungeon felt different, and the bosses were all fun and challenging. Then we come to the items. Despite being 2D, it had items more fun to use than any other game in the series, except TP. Next come the characters. There were quite a few of these, ranging from a sword smith turned into a toad, to an ex-criminal with a nack for lock breaking. Finally, we come to the incredible soundtrack. The staff credits music was the best, although Kakariko and Death Mountain are a close second. Now, add FS, which comes with the GBA port, and you get a game that can compete with anything else in the series, and is still far better than many games today.

I listed just about everything I liked above, so I'll just for what I didn't like:

Didn't Like:
The fortune tellers.

And... That's it. My only complaint.

The only reason that I have to put this game at 3rd in the series is because of something the developers had no way of preventing. The 3D games, TP and WW specifically, have the capability to have more interesting bosses, and as a result, barely edge aLttP.
