Critic Reviews

100 Nintendojo
This is the greatest collection of games, ever, bar none.
100 eToychest
Analog stick feels and moves much better than the N64’s, so moving Link is pretty easy. Lastly, the famous “Z targeting” system has been replaced with the L shoulder button taking on the targeting duties. All in all, the control scheme is near flawless.
100 Play Magazine
If you don't own these pieces of gaming history already, you'd be foolish not to get them now. If you already have them, playing through them again is utter gaming bliss. [Jan 2004, p.63]

If games were Norse gods, this would be Odin. Get it now. Thank me later.
96 Nintendo Power
A great introduction to one of the most successful and innovative game franchises of all time. [Jan 2004, p.159]

It’s nice to see Nintendo giving away such high quality freebies like this. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say, “We want more!"
90 GameSpot AU
As a pack-in bonus, it's excellent -- we really can't think of a pack-in game in recent history that has this much pure playability, albeit from games that are now somewhat aged.

There's a gaping hole that prevents the collection from being complete, and that hole is "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past." Many older gamers consider it the best title in the series.
