6 sentences then...I'll exceed that amount, can't write a review that's that short. Also, this isn't my second favorite game, just a game I played recently so it's easier to write a review on. But he's my review of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for 3DS:
For the first time in the series, A Link Between Worlds has actually used the same overworld map as that of A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo. While this may lead you to believe the game isn't 'new', there is actually a surprising amount of changes that make it feel completely new. Yet it still feels like you're exploring the map from A Link to the Past, which feels great for those who played the original.
One big new mechanic is Ravio's shop, allowing you to rent or purchase items to be used in the dungeons. This means that, for the most part, you can visit the dungeons in any order you like. This is a great new addition, and makes the game feel much more open.
Another is Link's new drawing ability. This ability allows him to merge with the walls to solve puzzles or cross gaps. I feel like it was underused, but there are some interesting things done with it.
The story really isn't that great: The new villain Yuga has trapped the seven sages in paintings, and Link must save them. There is a somewhat cool twist at the end though, which is nice.
Overall, I very much enjoyed A Link Between Worlds. It is one of the best games available on 3DS, which is saying a lot because of how many fantastic games are available on it now. This is definitely a game every Zelda fan and every 3DS owner must play.
Since you wanted this to be a brief review I'll just end there.
