Unlike other titles, the trading sequence in Link's Awakening is a mandatory element of the game; some of the items within it are needed to progress at certain points.

Link's Awakening vs. Link to the Past (Or do graphics make a game better Round 2!)
Alright. So after my first discussion post between FFVI and FFVII made my love for said games blossom even more than I already had for them, I decided to do another round. The catch here is that Link's Awakening actually came out a couple years after A Link to the Past, but the question still holds true with one being a Gameboy game and the other on the more powerful SNES.
To get this out of the way right now, Link's Awakening is the first game in the Zelda series I actually completed (beaten and 100%) which gives it a sort of bias in my mind. That being said, I have so much love for the Zelda series as a whole that I believe I can make an honest judgement between each game. What I loved about Link's Awakening is that it is a complete side story that doesn't involve Zelda, had Nintendo cameos way before Ocarina of Time, and it was just plain fun. That moment you get your sword for the first time and the music changes still blows me away, and the journey from then on is as epic as it's console siblings. What Link to the Past has going for it is a lot more color and a more defined (and canon) storyline to drive it through, not to mention two worlds to play through. Many people may dismiss Link's Awakening because it's not a main title, it's non-color palette (later fixed with the DX edition), and that it's on the Gameboy and has only two buttons. Personally, I think with all its limitations, Link's Awakening stands tall next to Link to the Past. The side quests are good, the dungeons are varied, and items you get from them all unique (Link gets to jump!) and the end game is fantastic. But I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts.
