Play it first. It's the best anyway :P

I've already beat A Link to the Past :P. Amazing game. Easily in my top 10 personal favorite games.

Then may I suggest a hack of it called Paraller Worlds redone.
Excelent completely new version the game.

That sounds like a great idea. Are there any other outstanding LttP hacks I can check out? Also, if I wanted to get this game in cartridge format, would you suggest a specific one? There appear to be a few different types.

I think all are the same.
Just make sure that region is correct (US, JPN or PAL)
Mind you that there are 2 similar sounding games:
Paraller Worlds = Extremely difficult, but great player can beat it.
Paraller Worlds Redone = Normal difficulty, most dickish parts made easier (puzzles dungeons).
Both have sort of quest 2 where game starts normal but then goes to super dungeon.

As for other hacks I think Ancient Stone Tablets is the only othersomewhat complete, altough there are few in making.
Zeldix site has some info on those.

Arseen:
Oh The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past: Hylian Legacy has reache 1.0.
This hack looks very good.

Do you own a physical copy of ALttP PW Remodel? I'd only be interested in playing it in physical form, but before I purchase one, I would like to be sure I'm getting a quality repro.

Taketheword:
So it has been about a week since I beat Wind Waker. I just wanted to post my final feelings. The artificially game-extending fetch quest at the end was awfully boring. But I was playing the original WW. They did reduce that quest significantly in WWHD, so that is good. The shadow ganon puzzle in ganon's tower was phenomenal. Interestingly enough, when I first started playing this game (pre-King of Red Lions), I truly thought it was awful. And I still believe that the beginning could have been much more refined. And of course, the linearity of the majority of the game was pretty dreary. BUT, interestingly enough, just a week later, I already have fond memories of the game. At first I sort of hated the art style. But now, in a way, I appreciate it. I am still a bigger fan of OoT's art style, but nevertheless, I have a fondness of Wind Waker now. I just wanted to post this to say that the game really is great. It still isn't my favorite, but I am glad I gave it another chance.

Side note: One thing that really made the game more enjoyable for me was heavily exploring. Without exploring, and just focusing on the plot, the game felt like a platformer, but when I added exploring, it did feel like a Zelda.

Vortiene:
That's funny, the triforce shard hunt was my favourite part of the game because you actually had to explore the entire world to do it. I guess casual players or people with low attention span wouldn't be hugely into it though. Collecting figurines of every character/enemy in the game was fun for me as well. I don't get the linearity complaints though, it's less linear than all other 3D zelda games to date. There's plenty of places to go, you can drop in at windfall island and do something new there so often it's not even funny.

Honestly i think it had the best sense of exploration of any 3D zelda game so far. Clearly breath of the wild will be even more along those lines.
