The 2DS in 2018 might be the best value in handheld gaming ever. For ~$80, you get a solid device that plays an enormous library of 3DS and DS games. And this is a Zelda edition. This green Zelda Ocarina of Time (Link) edition is a Black Friday 2017 special edition (see Nintendo's 11/1/2017 press release). Nintendo doesn't show this model on their website anywhere anymore, so if you want one, you should buy it now before it becomes a collectors item and price goes up. I own a New 3DSXL and now this 2DS Link edition. While I love the New 3DSXL, there is something about this 2DS that just feels so right. Nintendo originally marketed the 2DS towards younger kids to alleviate concerns parents had over the 3D functionality of the 3DS - but there seems to be a big adult following of this device. It's not just for little kids. The 2DS is in my opinion a much more comfortable handheld for extended gaming - the 3DS feels a bit cramped. The analog stick feels identical to my New 3DSXL, while the 2DS's d-pad and ABXY buttons don't have as crisp a feel when pressing, but they are still good. Probably some cost savings there. I was concerned about the smaller screen size, coming from a 3DSXL. But honestly, I haven't found the 2DS's screens to be a problem, in fact they actually look a bit crisper. The 3DSXL, 2DSXL, and the 2DS all share the same upper screen resolution of 400x240pixels. So on the 2DS having a smaller screen size, the smaller pixels actually make a game look more crisp, while the 3DSXL looks a bit stretched out or blurry. Don'te get me wrong that it's not awesome to have the large 3DSXL screen size, but you won't be disappointed in the 2DS screens. Both the upper and lower are bright and have good viewing angles. While the 2DS has a weaker processor than the NEw 3DSXL and 2DSXL, you won't notice it at all during gameplay. Only performance gap seems to be application loading. So starting a game or opening the eShop takes a tad longer. My New 3DSXL has amazing sound from it's stereo speakers, so I was concerned that this 2DS with a mono speaker would sound terrible. It doesn't. You don't get the surround sound of the more expensive DS's, but the single speaker sounds great and is plenty loud. And if you want stereo sound, just plug in headphones - which are stereo signal. This 2DS Link edition looks great, is very unique, and will likely be a collectible. While the 3DS family is entering it's final years, you can't go wrong with this. You'll have the ability to play a huge back-catalog of games for years to come. The eShop is very healthy with great indie titles, and Nintendo is adding content each month. FYI - my photos show my 2DS in a hardshell case I went with, recommend it. Alloet New Transparent Plastic Hard Protective Case Shell Skin for Nintendo 2DS with Film Get this and go play and have fun.Pros: -Price -Solid construction -VERY comfortable to hold for extended periodsCons: -The screens are sort-of small if you're used to a 3DSXL or 2DSXL (or gaming on a tablet or phone) -Single speaker (it sounds great, just not as nice as the awesome 3DS stereo surround) -The d-pad (up/down/left/right) and the ABXY buttons are not as 'clicky' as a 3DSXL. They work fine, just don't have as satisfying feel.
