Yes, it's very much worth it. It's got pretty good graphics for the time, and the story is nice, and it's at a nice difficultly level too. Not so hard as the NES stuff, but not so easy as OoT, or, dare I say it, WW/TP.

It is, in my opinion, the best of the 2D games.

Amazon. It shouldn't cost more than $30, for new, and there seem to be some reliable shippers. Definitely take new, both things I've gotten used off of amazon were broken.

Hmmm...

Its certainly worth it, but acquiring it seems to be your problem. If you have a Wii, can you use the virtual console? That's a good (and cheap) way to get AlttP. Otherwise, the only real way to get the game is from the internet, but seeing as you can't do that, the last option left to you is secondhand game stores. Whether or not they have ALttP is a very hit-or-miss situation, you just have to get lucky.

But good luck anyways.

I was really liking ALttP but I could sadly never beat the 4th or 5th boss. I just couldn't do it, and it kept knocking me off the stage. So I never finished it. Aside from everything else thats good about it, its barreness is quite like OoT's where you get this desolate and depressing feeling at times when everything has been solved and completed...

Yeah, I don't know actually. Maybe the devs just wanted to try something new. The different colours are the different tunics that you get. 1st=All green, 2nd=Yellow hat and blue tunic, 3rd=Purple hat and red tunic.

I don't really like it either. I liked the OoT tunics better. But the game itself is completely worth buying and playing. Good luck with that.

It's because he has three levels of armour. Lv.1 you have seince the beggining, it is green, and nothing about it is special. Lv.2 you get in Level 5, it is yellow, and it cut's the damage you take. Lv.3 you find in Level 9, it is red, and it cut's the damage you take to 1/4th! Very usefull. Pluss, they make Link look awsome. it would get boring with that same tunic the whole game. =)

But yeah, aLttP is a must buy; the most classic of the Zelda games (Better them OoT, IMO), very long, in-depth, and it introduced tons of stuff that became staples of the series (Heart Peices, Master Sword, Fire and Ice rods, the complete Triforce, the Mirror Sheild and the Hookshot, just to name a few).

The rods? They aren't staples to the series.

Yes! =D Although I must warn you, if you don't like it too hard, play the GBA version; I've found that enemies do more damage in the SNES version.

I found it at a store for about ten dollars. Keep in mind it was used but it seems pretty good quality to me and I have yet to find a problem with it. There's only been once or twice I have had to bring back something that was used. But then, I've also had to bring back things that were practically brand new so..

I have both the GBA and Super Nintendo versions and I would say it definitely is worth it. It's a pretty fun game.

It's definitely worth getting, a classic game and one of the best.
It's pretty easy to find for GBA, I got it of eBay for a few quid; if your mum isn't happy, tell her that you'll buy it from a seller with a decent rating, then the chances are they won't mess you about. TBH, it's only gonna be a tenner at the most anyway, it's not exactly the end of the world if you lose it Or get it from Amazon as TakatoGuil said. It's not like a huge company like Amazon is going to rip you off, why would they destroy their reputation over a few dollars? (I've always thought it's really strange that people have an aversion to buying things off the internet).
Good luck finding it for the SNES; I imagine they're nigh on impossible to come by these days.
