I've been going through and playing/re-playing some 2D Zelda. I never got my hands on Link Between Worlds when it came out, and I am super glad I went back to visit. Bonus points for visiting right after Link to the Past.
It seems like people seem to discredit it for being a non traditionally zelda. Having every dungeon open and the item rental shop does turn the formula a bit sideways. But I think instead of boring, it's refreshing. The only criticism that rings true is that the sense of dungeon progression is less steep and the difficult curve is rather shallow.
All that being said, for my money this is the best 2D Zelda game.
